And this week I'm simply going to say - here are some cute tops - a pair of jeans that look fun - and my latest sneaker purchase.  

Green bowl is from Target and was on sale in the store yesterday.  Candles and plates are Anthropologie.

And I enjoy this brand of pots.  They have such fun colors and style.

That's that.  Hope this week treats you well.

This isn't maybe the prettiest mix board, but it does have some of the coziness of Fall represented.  I like this moody green wallpaper - and that lamp has been a favorite of mine for awhile now.  And when the weather turns - candlelight - game night.  Maybe a puzzle.  Someone I used to know would play gin rummy with his mom - this card set for that game is so artistic and makes me think of them enjoying time together.   I used to use a Keurig and wasn't liking it so its been in my garage for awhile.  I finally ordered this French press and used it this morning.  It made a really good cup of coffee and its insulated and super cute. Book is what we are reading in Bible study now.  I love this book.  Can't say enough good things about it - and I think it filters out all of the noise of our world and brings you back to what actually matters.  Lastly, I just thought the little wire vases were cute and why not use some fun scissors to do your flower arranging.  

Last week was our final week for this year working on the farm making flower arrangements.  It was the first year I worked with the flowers - loved being creative.  This week I'm starting a whole new kind of volunteer job.  It's actually somewhere that I've wanted to help at since I'd say grade school.  That in itself is really exciting!  The bad part is I don't think we can take pictures so lots of cuteness that I can't share :(  Another fun fact is that I had to interview - my first in years - and I passed so that's good :)  Being older now I was confident in myself and just approached it being myself and calm and casual.  Didn't worry about it at all.  So different from being young and getting nervous and worrying about what they would ask.

I gathered up some ideas to bring a little Fall into the home.  

I like the idea of scattering these butterflies on an inside wall or better yet outside on the porch.  The black and white blanket from Schoolhouse is so good for Fall.  You can use the blanket on the whiter side or the darker.  I got mine as a gift and love it.  Middle row of items are just some nice accent pieces.  The owl is plastic and $5 at Target.  I bought some of the weird yet fun plastic cats they had last year.  They have them this year too.  The candleholder on the right I found on the Anthropologie site today.  It's like the candlesticks I have and I instantly loved this too.  On the bottom right - the little clock is great.  I have a small collection of clocks still packed away.  I cannot wait to display them again one day soon.  Links might not display for the little pinch bowls and candleholders at the bottom of the page - they are from Terrain.

Life has been good but busy lately.  I feel like I've been running from one thing to the next all day for days on end.  I'm in need of a cozy day at home with my dog :)

This is the dress I wore for Fourth of July.  It was super comfortable.  

I ordered both of the art pieces from Etsy.

Love the lights - both are so good!!!

This salad looks interestingly delicious.  

Simple drinking glasses.

Lastly, a pretty way to see the temperature.

Hope everyone has a good week.  I am on week 3 of having my house painted.  

I know my blog itself is a hot mess.  I need an overhaul.  Til then we can at least enjoy this group of things  that have caught my eye lately.  All the links are above.

Comfy clothing - delicious "healthy" pop - pretty vent covers - love the potting bench and light up garden globes - and the sink!!!  Oh - and the galvanized tray looks so pretty under your pots.

Short but sweet today.  Enjoy!  

I feel like all the home and fashion finds speak for themselves this week.  This is the rug I ordered for my upstairs guest room.  I like it a lot.  I'm thinking of ordering this lamp for the room too!

Love the drinking glasses and that outdoor dining chair style!

And then just some really cute clothes for a nice casual look.

Hope you all enjoy a great week!
