It's Apple Season!

Apple Cider, Apple Crisp, Apple Pie oh my! I love the fall season for decorating and baking. Two of my favorite things. Wait I forgot caramel apples and apple Betty but I digress.

So let's get started by decorating with apples. Using real or fake apples is a cheap and easy way to get started. Fill up a basket and turn it on it's side with the apples scattered or as shown here.

Hay bales are great for fall displays. Here is a tip (Keep them wrapped in their packaging). You can use them year after year and they won't make a mess. Plus my pets would try and eat any pieces that fell on the ground. Take our apple cider mug and apple heart boxes along with our hot apple cider sign. This will go well together.

These key pieces are an affordable way to add some charm.

What a fun display for a Halloween party or gathering this Fall. You could bob for apples, have an apple dessert bar with cut up apples, chocolate sauce, chopped peanuts, chocolate chips etc. Have popcorn balls and candy corn, and don't forget the baked goods I mentioned. (wink wink!)
 Stack hay bales outside and set up a photo prop with our gingham country rag garland.


The table setting could have red bandannas tied together to make a runner. Simply tie each end together to fit the length of your table. An apple could be at each place setting.

I hope you found some new and creative ideas for your Fall decor. Be sure to visit my shop to see all of my rustic, handmade home decor.

Mother’s Day Tiered Tray

A new idea for your tiered tray styling.  For me it takes a lot of work to figure out how to style these trays. I think the best way is to have a theme and then rummage through the house like a maniac! (just kidding) Try finding unique items like this Willow Tree figure. Old vintage tea cups and saucers bring in some pink with the addition of books that happen to say Mom in the title.(thanks Joyce Meyers) Try and use repetition of colors for a more cohesive look. I always add some greenery and flowers too.  Now get going!....

Styling Tiered Trays

    Styling a tiered tray can be a daunting task. How do you even  start? I am going to show you how to make it happen.  First: Theme pick your holiday, season or subject Second: Gather shop your home, go to the Target dollar spot, thrift shops etc. Third: Repetition  I like to buy in three’s and two’s  keeping the same piece on each level brings continuity  Fourth: Scale Larger items at the bottom, smaller at the top This is pleasing to the eyes! Fifth: Be Creative  There are no limits to what you can achieve! Use your imagination and it will naturally flow! I hope this helps you have fun decorating your trays!

Finding Strength In The Darkness

 I found out my youngest son Nick had Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy at age 6. When you hear news like this it is earth shattering! The prognosis is bleak. No cure, wheelchair bound by 12 and life expectancy 21. The disease so far has been a true test to all of us.   Fast forward to present day. Nick is 21. He is in a wheelchair and still no cure. On January 2 of this year 2020, he had elective surgery on his colon. Surgery went well and we went home after a 5 day stay in the hospital. The second day home, Nick was in excruciating pain. We immediately head back to the hospital. Did I mention that it is about a two hour drive!  Arrive at the hospital which consisted of 2 emergency surgeries where we almost lost him. 8 surgeries later and an ilestomy bag that helped save his life.  It was just about 2 months staying in the hospital. We had to leave our 2 adult children without their mom, dad and brother. My husband had to go on a family leave with no pay from his job so we could be with our
