Happenings at Home

This past week was pretty low key. We watched Grace play several basketball games and enjoyed some of this gorgeous outdoor weather Colorado is still having. The leaves are changing and it is simply magical! I keep seeing more and more and more pumpkins on peoples porches and it always makes me smile. Do you have your pumpkins yet? I’m enjoying this time before everything starts to get a bit crazy with the holidays soon.

We also got to go down to Denver and celebrate a 70th birthday for some good family friends. We went to Top Golf and had some fun hitting golf balls and enjoying their really good food! Have you been to Top Golf before? We always enjoy our time there. Even if you aren’t a good golfer they make it so easy to keep it fun and social. They are building one closer to us and we can’t wait!

And can you keep a secret?

Next week there will not be a regularly scheduled Welcome Home Saturday post because my hubby Mike and I are taking a mystery trip together (no kids)! EEEK! But I will tell you all about it when we return!

This Week On The Blog

Did you hang out with me over on the blog at all this week? I shared my usual Monday Must Haves . The plaid shacket featured was the top seller along with the Stanley cup as a very close second. I can’t say I blame you because they are both my favorites too!

Then on Thursday I shared a pretty long and informative post on mismatched Fall tablescape ideas. This was so much fun to write and many of the tips could even apply to other areas of decorating because I talk a lot about mixing and matching patterns. Stop by and let me know what you think!

Miss Mustard Seed Milk Painted Books

Of course I can’t forget to share with you all the painted book tutorial I wrote for the Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint blog! My awesome mom, Tracy, came over and helped me whip this project out in under 30 minutes.

Using the color Curio we were able to transform some Dollar Store books to fit my Fall tablescape! You might have seen them above:) If you have time to stop by and leave a comment that would be wonderful.

Links and Loves

I have some fun links to share with you all today. Did you know if you click a shopping link in one of my posts and buy something (even if it’s not the same item I have linked) I earn a commission? Pretty awesome right? I am always thankful when you shop through my links. It helps keep this little blog afloat.

This was a favorite of yours this week!
I am currently reading this book and loving it!
Isn’t this striped shirt just the cutest?
J- Crew is having a HUGE Fall sale and I love so many things!
In love with this Serena and Lily bench look alike! Maybe under some art , in an entryway or at the foot of a bed?
I just got this for Crosby’s closet to help with organizing. She is excited! It is only $10 but could change.

I also wanted to alert you to a HUGE upcoming sale. Amazon Prime Early Access Sale is happening this coming Tuesday and Wednesday, October 11th & 12th. If you are not a Prime member yet and want to enjoy the sale for some early Christmas or holiday shopping, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial here!

Then you can access the sale and always cancel later if you want. I will be sending out an email reminder on the morning the sale starts in case you want to see the deals I am sharing! As always, I am so thankful whenever you shop through any of my links!
