Autumn

Fall is a thing that, well, isn't really a thing here.

The leaves don't change color.

Halloween doesn't exist.

It would be frowned upon to wear cute boots and suicidal to wear a sweater.

But gosh, I love Fall so much that yesterday I said, "What the heck. I have twelve free hours and a pad of scrapbook paper. I'm going to watch movies and decorate."

It's amazing how a 6x6-inch pad of pretty papers, cut into shapes and sewn with the needle and thread from my sewing kit, turned our boring white-washed house into a semi-festive home. The only decorations we brought with us were a large wedding picture, the aforementioned scrapbook paper, and that white picture frame that we got as a wedding present. It came with a cute insert for every season. This week I learned that it really doesn't take much to liven a place up, or to keep myself entertained.

I'm so crafty. (But you already kno-ow).

  1. Honestly Laura, these photos of your decked out apartment look like they came straight from a Pottery Barn catalog. Everything looks so festive!

    What panache!

    1. Thank you! That's quite the compliment, especially coming from you! It honestly took waaaay more time than anyone should be able to justify just to cut out some shapes to decorate one vanity area of the apartment, but hey, a girl's gotta keep busy.

    1. Thank you Tayler! I wish I could make printables like that myself. I think it's a brilliant idea for a wedding gift, a baby shower gift, or a birthday gift. The woman who gifted it to me found a cute frame and then made a dozen fun printables--one for each month of the year--to go with it. I'm sure it was inexpensive, but I cherish it!

  3. A) This is the cutest. I'm jealous. All of my decorations are currently in boxes, or in the process of being boxed. B) Please forgive my blog stocking. C) This seriously belongs on pinterest. Seriously. Pin it. Pin it now.

    1. Hahaha! Girl, unpack them boxes! It'll be Halloween before you know it. Also, for some reason I feel weird about pinning my own things? Ya, I just need to get over it :)
