Be Inspired # 164

We've all been tweaking that Early Fall and Halloween decor, changing it over to what I think is a more simple natural look for Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving's roots are based in the bringing in and sharing of the Harvest, and being grateful for God's abundance and blessing. To me it's best decorated for and celebrated with those "Natural" elements. Here are some lovely links from two weeks ago that have that wonderful "natural" feel.


Thanksgiving Mantel
from Pam at White Ironstone Cottage




Kathy from A Delightsome Life
shared some vintage finds from The Country Living Fair.
from Jann at Have a Daily Cup of Mrs. Olson
from Lynn at Shabby Story




Slipcovered Living Room Chairs
from Trish at The Old Post Road
created this wonderful Fall Shelf Vignette
Love the elegance of Simply Fall
from Susan at Evelyn and Rose

Thank you so much Gals!
And no, I haven't lost my marbles. well, maybe just a few...

Blogger hasn't been updating many of our blogposts and I thought I'd try republishing my last post which was my Thanksgiving Tablescape. I had been tweaking it for days and didn't want you to miss it. So then, you got to look at it twice! Sorry.... If anyone has any ideas I'd be thrilled to hear them. This Blogger problem been going on for almost two weeks...you hoo...anyone home at Blogger?



Elliott Heath Designs
You'll love browsing all the beautiful pillow designs from Heather's Etsy Shop!









OK, hope you'll join in on the Fall Fun, 
and any new posts you're having on Christmas.

  1. Please remember to turn off word verification. I tried leaving comments that didn't go through. I'm sure others have tried also.
  2. Please have an individual link back to Common Ground within your post. I'd love to feature you. This is just part of the Party Etiquette.
  3. Please no direct links to Etsy or Advertising.
  4. Link up to three of your current posts.


Thanks a bunch for joining in.
 I love seeing what you're up to!!

    Mine hadn't been showing up either, but yesterday it showed up right after I published, so I thought they had it fixed. Yours wasn't on mine this morning, though.....frustrating!

    Thanks for hosting and i hope you are feeling well:-)

    Hi Debra...thank you so much for hosting. You are right I did notice that my posts seemed to take forever to update. Then today I finished the post I linked to your party and finally after 3 hours of it not appearing in the feed I updated it with a new publish time and that seemed to have pushed it into the feed. Glad to know that it is not just me who is having these glitches...hopefully Blogger will fix it soon. But as far as I am concerned you can republish all you want Debra, cuz I just love your vision!
    XO Barbara
