Vintage Storybook Garland

December 4, 2014 By Jenna 18 Comments

I am a sucker for old Christmas storybooks.

Doesn’t matter if they are barely bound together anymore, I buy them.

They just have the best vintage-y Christmas colors and are so sweet.

Last year, I made a vintage storybook garland to go around my tree with some of the pages from books that were falling apart. I didn’t post about it because I didn’t think it was a big deal. Then, when I did my Christmas tour last year and shared photos on Facebook recently, so many people said they loved the garland.

And when the people talk, I listen.

For the most part.

So here it is.

I don’t have step-by-step photos, but you won’t need them – its pretty simple.

Pumpkin Place Card Holders (with Dollar Tree Pumpkins!)

November 4, 2014 By Jenna 18 Comments

I would like to thank the Dollar Tree for two things.

1. Having an abundant supply of plastic toys for me to spray paint.

2. Having cheap pumpkins that make fabulous place card holders.

I know, I said I wasn’t doing any more fall crafts, but really how can I turn down $1 pumpkins that can be made into fabulous pumpkin place card holders?

I thought you’d agree.

They are also really for my Thanksgiving tablescape coming up tomorrow, so that doesn’t really qualify as a fall craft…

Ampersand Pumpkin

September 29, 2014 By Jenna 34 Comments

I did it guys.

I’m sorry, but I lied to you. I didn’t mean to lie to you. It just happened.

When I posted the 7 simple & frugal fall crafts, I said there probably wouldn’t be many new fall crafts around here – if any.

And then I decided I needed a green pumpkin…with an ampersand symbol.

Before I knew it, I was in the driver’s seat and my car was practically steering itself to Michael’s.

Story of my life.

Blue Jean Jackets, Cowboy Boots, and a few Pumpkins: Fall Home Tour

September 22, 2014 By Jenna 44 Comments

I know I told you I wouldn’t be doing much fall decorating this year – and I haven’t; I hadn’t even planned on doing a fall home tour, but when Lindsay from The White Buffalo Styling Co. asked me to join in on her Blogger Stylin’ Fall Home Tours, I simply couldn’t say no – and then I thought of a story I wanted to share with you along with the tour, so it was destiny.

Ok, I’m a little over dramatic.

If you are coming over from Decor Chick, welcome! There’s no doubt in my mind that Emily left you in awe with her talent.

If you happen to have some Conway Twitty, Loretta Lynn, or maybe some Merle Haggard nearby, go ahead and turn it on…it will go nicely with this tour.

7 Simple and Frugal Fall Crafts & Decorating Ideas

August 28, 2014 By Jenna 10 Comments

I’m going to be real honest with you guys. There most likely will not be lots of new fall decor at my house this year. I would just rather spend my time working on stuff I will see all year long than just for a month or two. That doesn’t mean I don’t love fall – I do. And I will still put out my fall decor from years past, just not anything new. So, here are my favorite fall crafts and decorating ideas I’ve done in the past that may be oldies, but still goodies.
