Nell Hills and other things!



I decided I needed something with a botanical feel for my house. I used kraft paper from Michaels and white acrylic paint.

This is what I came up with..a white fern on khaki. I put one on the kids toy/book shelf in our "den."

And the other one on our mantel.

Dinner one night this week was farfalle pasta with butternut squash sauce and tomato basil foccacia. {Doug enjoyed this very much!}

My "Nell Hills" purchases. 3 horn frames and fabric remnants! I am in love with this store! After Doug listened to me go on and on about how much I loved it...he said "Do you want to go to the one in Atchison?" So we may be headed there sometime to check out that lil' town and do some shopping!

fabric piece used as a table runner.

check it...DURALEE!!!!!! {Good stuff.} This remnant was $3!!

Another fabric remnant from Nell Hills, being used as a table runner.

Two more new cookbooks to add to my collection!

I found another Penguin classic book at TJ MAXX! Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen!

Brynn was 13 months on Oct. 7th! She's so sweet & so fun!
{Working on her 1 year pics now!}

TGIF! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

I love autumn!

Fall is here! My favorite time of year! I love sweaters, boots, jeans, Halloween, Thanksgiving, pumpkin spice lattes from Starbucks & attempting to make or bake fall-ish type food and treats!

 

Our front step.

These are my new purchases from Francescas! I LOVE THAT STORE! They had a sale (buy 1 article of clothing, get the 2nd 1/2 off!) I thought these were good for a fall wardrobe. I was imagining all of them with my camel-knee-high-Steve-Madden-boots!:) -->except of course the striped number will be worn with jeans AND the boots!

"The best part of waking up." These two yummy things, are an attempt to make my own pumpkin spice lattes at home!
 DEE-LISH!

My NEW cookbooks! Can't wait to attempt some new meals!

Planning to make the pumpkin spice cookies this week. Brynn likes "Ella's Kitchen," squeezable treats when we're on the go (they're MOSTLY no-mess and look at that flavor...sweet potatoe, pumpkin, apples AND blueberries!) Evan & Brynn are both loving "Earth's Best" pop snax in sweet potatoe cinnamon!

 

 

I bought a new light for above our kitchen sink (purchased at Home Depot.) It matches our sink hardware perfectly! I also did a "no-sew" curtain/shade above the sink. I loved that fabric (found at JoAnn Fabrics.) I bought a yard and a half and hung it with clips at the top on the curtain rod and pinned up the sides.

Here are some invitations I did for a local wedding. An orange dahlia-type flower is fitting for a fall wedding!

My fab-find at TJ MAXX! A penguin classic, Little Women! I wanted to collect the fabric covered classics for Brynn. I had seen them at Anthropologie for $20 and I found this for $12.99! I hope to find more at other TJ's

I would LOVE to find some khaki/orange pillows like these! I looked on etsy.com and will continue to keep my eye out!
I want to throw more orange accents into my kitchen and family room!

I did end up buying ONE THING at Target from the Missoni line! This cosmetic bag, which I love. Many times I had more in my cart, but for some reason I always ended up putting everything back!? BUT this lil' guy made it all the way to the check-out!
