Happy Fall Y’all! Thank you for stopping by Farmhouse Friday 461. In the social media world, I know you could be in a lot of places, and you chose to be here! It means a lot.
My 60th birthday party was last Saturday, and oh my golly, I had so much fun! We hired a casino company to set up tables and handle the dealing and teaching. They gave us a $1K chip to get us started.
I purchased 16 different prizes for friends to bid on at the end of the night. All of the gifts were things that I liked, or that represented me in some way. Things like fall dishes, fall drinking glasses, a board game, honey from Navasota (where our farmhouse is located), a fabulous fall apron, etc. It was hilarious watching people bid $15K on a candle.
Besides the smiles and laughter, my Soul Sista’s each wore earrings that were of my face! It was the photo from the invitation I had made. They were so stinkin’ cute! I was so cute. LOL!
5 Simple Steps to a Vibrant Fall Kitchen Vignette
If you’ve missed the Design Challenge earlier this week, you should pop in and take a gander. We all shared fall vignettes. There are so many ideas for fall decorating. Click here to see them all.
Our WHAT-TO-POST-THEME THIS WEEK IS… Halloween Ideas.
Now on to this week’s ALL THINGS VINTAGE-THEMED features.
Not sure you can get any more vintage than canning! Ann from Ann’s Entitled Life has the know-how, the recipe for her Cinnamon Apples, and great advice on getting it just right.
This gorgeous antique table needed a little love. She even created new toes for it! Check out the before and after images on Creative Moments. I wish I had a place for it here. I’d snatch it up!
Kathy at Petticoat Junktion gave a vintage chandelier an entirely new life! Super fun and super cute. Makes me want to find more chandeliers for our trees! Check it out and pin for later.
This is just one of several ideas for decorating with vintage suitcases. You will love Lora Bloomquist’s collection and creativity! Stop by for a peek. You’ll be pinning like crazy!
