Bits of Beauty surround us; in a baby's smile, a kindness shared or a starry night.

Humble or spectacular, Beauty is alive every moment.

Early Autumn Decor

It is starting to feel like summer is over and fall is on its way. I like to make seasonal changes around the house. Here are a few new elements I have added:
Early Autumn mantel. I will add pumpkins and gourds in October, so for now I added pops of color with the basket full of balls and the patterned candlesticks.

















I like paisley patterns, so I knew these would look great on my living room couches mixed in with the older, fuzzy pillows that everyone likes to pet.

































These are more rustic than the candle holders I usually am drawn to, but I really like them.
























 I took this photo at night without the benefit of natural lighting. I just added this to the mud room. I hope it helps us remember to take important papers with us as we head out the door!
















I found these letter blocks while shopping in Utah with my sister-in-law, Laurie. I attached them to the wall with Velcro strips.

3 amazing observations:
