Girly Pretties's Party La Vie En Rose

Welcoming Autumn Anew, Every Year!

Isn't it wonderful that we all have our own way of welcoming each Season in our homes and in our hearts?! I love that! Whether it be through some special decor project, a recipe that you've been waiting for the cooler weather to make, or as simple as getting your favorite sweater or fuzzy slippers out. We all(I am speaking in general, of course)  do or have something that speaks "AUTUMN" or "Fall", "Summer" or "Spring', "Winter" into existence for us at our homes and in our hearts.

This year, as most of you know, I find Autumn coming while I am in between homes. One that has sold, and I have not yet discovered the new one that God has waiting for me. That doesn't mean, by any stretch of the imagination, that I am not rejoicing over the arrival of Autumn! Quite the contrary is true, it is the changing color of each leaf,  the first few sprinkles of rain, the chill in the air and my fuzzy slippers and cozy robe that bring peace and a greater sense of home than any house could provide. 

  

One Beautiful Way To Organize Your Space

Good Morning! Welcome back! I'm so glad you found your way here.

Do you ever do something, for yourself, around your house, that you think nothing of, only to hear all your Friends & Family exclaim how much they love it and never would have thought of that? This is one of those kind a projects. I have a pet peeve. Well, truth be told, I have many, but I'm only telling you about one today!  I can NOT stand those big old plastic mugs (you know the ones) some company gave it to you free and it probably has their logo on it, and it's insulated and blah, blah, blah. That, inevitably, after finding no other use or it, becomes the pen and pencil holder!  I HATE them! I had one. If not that mug, then it's that tray or drawer, full of pens and everytime you go to grab one, the one you picked doesn't work anymore! Yep, that right there, will drive me over the brink!
