vintage style, cottage living, home cooking
Lois taught high school “Homemaking Class” in the 60s and 70s. We were invited to her home to dine with her. Of course, the meal was delicious and balanced. The final course was her Easy Orange Cake Recipe From Scratch.

During Fall I love to blend orange and blue together. The combination is soothing and a beautiful contrast from the typical oranges, reds and golden colors. You will be inspired from the blue ideas, crafts and design style from this post. Incorporating Blue Into Fall Decor has become one of my most clever ways decorate.
It wasn’t very long ago that my children were small. WELL, it doesn’t seem like it was very long ago. And now when I do the math-it was almost 30 years ago, that my boys made this tool box in Cub Scouts. 30 years? How did that happen? Instead of being sad about the time passing by, I thought it would be more fun to create a DIY Vintage Tool Box For Fall.
Fall will officially be here in just a few days. It is time for me to celebrate a new season filled with beautiful colors and new details. This post was updated October 2025.
The Inspiration Monday Party Girls are bringing their weekly linky party over to Instagram, too (like two parties in one). We all just LOVE Instagram and thought this would be a fun way to get folks who don’t have a blog, or who only prefer to post over there, involved in our favorite INSPIRING day of the week! We’ve already used our hashtag for awhile, but now we want you to use it, too. Here’s how to play…
Tag all of your hosts:
@redheadcandecorate, @refreshrestyle, @meeganmakes, @inspirationformoms, @oursouthernhome, @scatteredmom, @ishouldbemoppingthefloor
Add the tag #InspirationMondayParty to all of your inspiring favorites throughout the week. Next weekend, we will each pick our faves and feature them on IG and at our weekly linky party on all seven blogs. We can’t wait for you to inspire us over there, too!
