Random thoughts on a brilliantly sunny, chilly almost November Saturday morning:
1. I hope your weekend is full of amazing plans. It’s Baylor Homecoming and we are all about a parade and a game.
2. Just posted another edition of “What I Bought Wednesday” over on my YouTube channel including the best way to add space to your fridge.
You can see it here.
3. If you are looking for a good historical British drama? You might want to check out Vanity Fair. There are tons of different versions, but my favorite is the one from 2004 with Reese Witherspoon.
4. It was an awesome week on the blog. We discussed:
- my favorite faux greenery for Christmas
- my number one pinned pillow project
- 15 Thanksgiving table ideas
- 17 thrift store furniture makeovers
5. Buddy (our golden) has to go get his teeth cleaned. I wonder if he’ll like going to the dentist as much as I do.
6. Thank you for all the subscription services. I think I’m going to do a round-up of all of them because there were so many great suggestions.
And now?
Here are some of my favorite things I discovered for all of us this week.
LET’S GO.
Has any recipe looked more like fall?
Stuffed baked apples with cinnamon.
Look at these pumpkin obelisk towers.
They are such a clever idea for planters.
Love this idea for a table runner.
And it’s made with dollar store leaves.
Doesn’t this look like fall?
And the pumpkin bowl is the best idea.
Here’s the recipe for split pea and pumpkin soup.

You know I’m all about cute outfits, so I’m starting something new this week.
I started a Thistlewood Fashion Instagram and every day I’m curating an outfit.
If you don’t have Instagram—no worries.
I have them all posted on my fashion page here.
And one more for the road

See the DIY here.
The Fashion Page is as wonderful as you! Same geat classic fun style as in your decorating.
Great ideas as always! I've started a dairy free diet.... I've hardly ever been on a diet but bloodwork is showing it to be helpful right now. Have a great weekend!
So many beautiful and fun links. Thank you for sharing Kari Anne! Have a great day!
KariAnne, I appreciate you so much. Thanks for sharing my table runner!
Man Kari Ann if you post it, it sells iut fast!! Hope they are paying you well! Loved the dresses which I never wear but you picked good ones, but they are gone ☹ Lol great job
I posted on Instagram but maybe I should ask here....where do you go for the descriptions, cost and store for the clothing items? The link only takes me to a check box to purchase but no description. The grilled cheese looks wonderful! Make mine on sourdough please:0) Wish you fun at the Baylor festivities!
So many wonderful ideas in one place! Happy Weekend, my friend!
I always enjoy these and glad you added something for outfits, you have the cutest ones. Pray you had a great weekend.
I think if you jump on the butter board trend then walking a mile a day won't be enough! I love charcuterie boards but not so excited about butter boards. Thanks for the fun links today.
Oh, my word - that Cottswold Manor! ♥♥♥
Hi KariAnne. I've been away visiting my daughter and son in-love who are expecting a baby!!! I'm just a little excited to become a Nana!!! It's great to be home too though and catch up on your posts! The stone home in England is 10/10 on the charm chart. I mean a pink room and florals.....LOVE! I've never heard of a butter board, but what a great idea. I think it could be really fun for a special occasion! As always thank you for the finds on What I Bought Wednesday. Great ideas for Christmas! Thank you!
Thanks so much for sharing my home and pumpkin towers! You're the best!
