BOO!!! Up for a quick, spooky and inexpensive craf BOO!!! Up for a quick, spooky and inexpensive craft? All you need is a pack of cheesecloth, small foam balls, ribbon, sticky-back black felt, and string if you’re hanging your ghosts. Tip- once your ghosts are made, carefully separate sections of the cheesecloth to make it look like they’re floating! 👻

I don’t know about you, but I love a cozy night I don’t know about you, but I love a cozy night in. Add games (the non-video variety!), snacks, and good company and you’ve made my evening. We’ve had a lot of family game nights over the years, especially in the last couple of years. You can plan a game night any season, but there’s just something about cozying up for a fun evening when the weather is starting to get chilly. We're still hoping for chilly over here! 

Check out my top tips for planning a cozy game night, favorite games and snack ideas, on the blog today. What's your favorite board game?

These fresh-faced jack-o-lantern luminaries were made using recycled jars and wine bottles and a few supplies I had on hand. I added a few real pumpkins in different sizes from Trader Joe’s– I think these striped cuties were just over $1 each. Aren’t they pretty? My back porch is ready for fall. The tutorial for the luminaries is on the blog today-- post link in bio. 

Are you keeping your fall decor unfussy, or are you going all out?
These two @hadleypottery canisters will forever be These two @hadleypottery canisters will forever be on my countertop-- I'm a third-generation lover of Hadley Pottery. Fun fact: I keep coffee pods in the cookie canister and teabags in the coffee canister. 

I loved pairing my handmade drop cloth pumpkins for this sweet fall kitchen vignette. Learn how to make these drop cloth pumpkins and a sweet ticking wreath on the blog. Just add a piece of a stick for the stem and some decorative Spanish moss on top. Also cute placed in a dough bowl or on your mantel. Easy, peasy, pumpkin squeezy!
