It's Pumpkin Time! (Every Kind You Can Imagine) TFT Party

Good morning, friends! Well, it happened!  Fall arrived 3 days ago and, we, here in Northern California have had 3 days over 100 degrees.  Heavy sigh... There are days I really don't know why I live where I do. Anyway, today is supposed to be the beginning of a cool down and let me just tell you I am praying that it is!

Autumn/Fall DIYs to Help You Welcome the My Favorite Season!

Good morning! This has been what I've been doing. ) it's a serious thing for me! There isn't a day that goes by now when I'm not looking at the Fall Countdown! It was a very pleasant high 80's for a few days, but unfortunately mother nature took a turn on me and has been hitting us with mid '90s!!! No thank you.  I need sweater weather! I want to wear my flannel pajamas and feel so cold I need to pout my robe and socks on too!! I want o cook and bake and be grateful that I have warmed up the house with the oven. I think I live in the wrong part of our country! LOL  That's the kind of gal I am!
So, TODAY,  ONLY 10 more days! Squeals with excitement! 

Alright, let's get down to business, now.

Hey friends, so glad you are me this beautiful Thursday morning.  Well, you all know I'm a huge fan of Fall/Autumn. I simply CAN NOT wait! So, imagine my delight when I read all of your wonderful posts transitioning from Summer to Fall.  Loved every minute of it. I have been pinning plenty, so I hope you are following my TFT Pinterest Board. I was lucky enough to get my paint brushes out yesterday and started working on a new project that I will be sharing with you soon. But, for now, let's take a look at the features from last week's party!

I just Love these Pink Flowers and White Pumpkins Fresh Fall Tablescape from Mantel and Table. Very different for this time of year, but stunning just the same.

Happy Labor Day Weekend & Fall Favorites (TFT party)

Hello friends, as usual at this time of year I am enamored by all things that celebrate upcoming Season, that I love so dearly. Before I get onto this week's features, I'd loke to wish you all a safe and peaceful Labor Day weekend. May your time with your friends and family bless you richly. 

I Love all of this week's features! Starting with:

Jenn from Clean and Scentsible's Farmhouse Style Free Printables

Anxiously Awaiting Fall ~ Autumn Inspirations (TFT Party)

Too hot to be at the computer much these days, friends. I am so anxiously awaiting my favorite Season. I was so pleased to see I am not alone in this, as evidenced by your Fall inspired link ups!  Thank you for that! Here are this week's features! 

Jenna from Rain on a Tin Roof's Five Free Fall Mums Watercolor Printables are adorable and so inviting.

What I'm Loving in August ~ (TFT Party)

Hi friends! I sure hope you all are finding some way to stay cool, I'm doing my best but it sure isn't easy with these triple-digit days. Thank you all so much for your very kind comments last week. As they say, life does go on.  I just finished baking 15 dozen breakfast cookies for a function at my church, and to be honest with you, I'm quite okay not to bake for a little while now... In all honesty, I was thrilled and honored to get to contribute, I certainly am grateful though, that I baked them before the heatwave hit!  No special theme this week in the features, I just went through and grabbed the first ones that caught my eye. Not my usual, but really kind of fun! It truly is so difficult to limit the features with so much talent from you all.  So, without further delay, here are the ones I'm loving this week!

It's A Shabby Thursday! (This Week's TFT Party)

Good morning, sweet friends. Welcome back to this week's edition of the Thursday Favorite Things party. I'm so glad you're joining me. As I write this, I have just said goodnight to a very different kind of day. Today was the one year anniversary of my father's death. And while my mind and soul rejoice for him in Heaven, my heart and humanness still miss him.  So forgive me, I am not going to embellish too much this week. Thankfully, I have been looking at all your wonderful shabbiness all through the week and have plenty of inspiration from your talents. So, mums the word and unto your features.

Tastes of Summer! All the Recipes You Need to Enjoy Your Summer (This week's TFT)

It seems we all love to share some of our favorite recipes, as each season comes and goes. I am no exception to that thought. I love welcoming each different season with my favorites for that time, as well. As I am definitely a Fall/Winter person, I get so excited that I start baking fall dishes at the end of the summer as I anxiously await my favorite season. Case and point last week I shared my Grandmother's Canadian Butter Tarts! You can find them, here!

I'm just counting down the days when I can have my oven on more, without it making the temperature in the house intolerable. Until then, you have all provided me with some wonderful summer recipes to get me through. Thanks for that! Let's take a look!
