Change It Up For Fall

Pretty soon the days will be shorter and the cool weather will set in.  When that happens (even slightly before, if I'm honest) I like to change out a few things in my house.  Pillow covers, throw blankets, candles (scented and plain for ambiance), flowers, stacks of books and pretty objects are the best and easiest way to add coziness and chic comfort.

Today I am on my last few chapters of the last Harry Potter book!  I'm rather sad to have finished because I have really enjoyed reading the series.  I know what you're thinking: she is just now reading those!  Yes, I know.  I am afraid that I am the type of person who rebels against TV shows/books that are popular in the beginning until they have proven their value over a period of time.  I will never be able to say, I saw/read that right when it became popular.  I'm just not cool like that.  I am just now starting to get into Dr. Who.  A hipster I am not.
Have a great mid-week!

A Few Of Our Favorite Things...Last Minute Gifts

One of my favorite candles...ever!  $25

Another of my favorite candles.  Noticeable and clean, not too feminine. $28

Smells just like a fresh cut Christmas tree.  There is nothing fake about this scent.
The entire line is amazing!  I have the multipurpose cleaner that I use on my counter tops, and
I tell you, cleaning has never been so rewarding!  The candles are strong, yet not overpowering, just like
a real tree. From $10-$48.

This blouse is beautiful and for only $19 it is a great gift.

Vintage flour sac, days- of -the- week, dishtowels, set of 7 $28

I love my magazines.  Subscriptions make great gifts.  $12 for 12 months.

Adorable bottle opener. $12

Beautiful frames, matted in burlap $29-39

At the top of my "want" list: super soft cable knit throw, on sale for $99.

     

If my guy had the tablet he wants, I would get him this to go with it! $69

I saw this the other day and it is so beautiful, I wanted it! $23

If you know anyone who is interested in decorating, they would love this book, by the legendary Bunny Williams. $24

This would be such a great gift for the book lover in your life!  
The goal is to collect the most literary sets.  Each set consists of three cards:
the Author card, the Library card, and the Bio card.
Not only is it a fun card game for the avid reader,
it could also be a great introduction to literature for kids.  Like my kid.
I want to buy this and then play it with my kid so that she will inadvertently learn about
great authors while we are playing a game.
Buy it here.

I think this is so fun for the budding artist on your list!
 It's available at fredflare.com and is full of ideas to  inspire your artistic side.

Robot Tea Infuser- tea is delicious!  And now it can be pretty cool.
I think this would be such a great gift paired
with your favorite loose tea.  Darjeeling, anyone?
I originally saw and fell in love with this months and months ago,
and apparently so did everyone else, because it is out of stock here,
 but will soon be available here.
