vintage style, cottage living, home cooking
Yay!! It’s Monday!! After a week of resting, washing 24 table cloths, and 100 chair covers, and trying to get our house back in order from our son’s wedding, I’ve Got “The Monday Blues“. But, I LOVE the blues-so it’s all good!
This week Grace from Kitchen Table Art sent me another one of her favorite blues.
I am swamped with things to do within the next couple of weeks, as we prepare for our son’s wedding. BUT, I do want to share with you some of the easy, simple Fall bookcase with a cottage feel I do have around our home. It was SUPER EASY and fun to get my creative juices going!
I basically used the same foundation as my Summer Shelf, but took away my shells and added new Fall elements. Easy and effective.
I found the clear pull knobs at HL. I knew I needed them!! I added Billy Balls to the vintage blue bottle for some Fall color. I also switched out shells and rocks for pumpkins.
I found the artichokes at PB a few years ago. They are working well in our home now matter the season. Love it!! Both candle sticks were thrift finds. I painted them to fit our decor.
Here is just another look at all the elements and colors. Same blue, same style with just a touch of Fall added. It is so easy to change things up in your home for each season. I have been doing it for years and I hope you can see how fun it is. You don’t need a lot to make a difference.
I hope I have inspired you to bring a little bit of Fall to your home with my Easy, Simple Fall Bookcase With a Cottage Feel . If you have decor already to place around your home, and don’t have a lot of time-just put up a few things. (I literally still have a full container full.) You still bring the season into your home without the clutter and taking up too much time.
Enjoy your day and treasure those you love.

I have been telling you about bridal flowers for weeks now. I finally worked with bridal flowers this past weekend. It was a blast, and they came out beautiful!!
I am excited to share them with you:
This is the mom’s corsage. The bride’s mom wanted a very simple corsage. It consists of an antique white rose and white hydrangeas. With a simple satin bow it is simple and beautiful. Just how the bride wanted it!
The bride’s bouquet: Antique white roses, peach roses, garden roses, geranium leaves, and Beerzilla (Silver). Isn’t it just so beautiful??
A view from up above the brides bouquet.
I also made 6 bridesmaids bouquets. They included white hydrangeas, antique white roses, cox comb, Hypericom berries, and a few Brerzilla (silver).
Each bouquet was wrapped with burlap and lace. The lace matched the bridesmaid’s skirts.
This walking up to attend the reception. The bride wanted the open drawers FULL of flowers. I added baby’s breath, peach roses, bells of Ireland, and yarrow.
Love, love, love!!
I decided to have bouquets hanging on the “fence” behind the buffet line, along with a few pictures of the bride and groom. I love this vintage look, don’t you?
Is that one happy bride, or what?? Thanks Jennie and Brandon for letting me be a part of your wedding day. It was one I won’t forget for a very long time.
I will post more pics later from the reception. I probably, easily took 100.
Make it a terrific Tuesday!

I am sure you have seen many book page wreaths around blog land. I think they look very classy and creative.
I actually posted this when I first started my blog 9 months ago. One of my followers emailed me and asked if I would post this again. Since she can’t see it on my old blog, I told her I would post it. Here you go Mona… Enjoy!
I think it’s is perfect for Fall decorating.
Can you believe this cost about $2 or less to make?
