common ground : Loving September at All About Home #57

Hi Everyone, I hope you're having a great September!

I look forward to it all year because Fall is my favorite season.
(you all probably know that)
I try to slow down and be more purposeful in Fall.
We're having some cooler temps and working outside this last weekend
we even felt a little chill in the wind.
It was wonderful!

I'm so glad you're stopping by and I hope you'll link up
and share what you all have been up to.

Amber and I are excited to be hosting this weekly party

that celebrates All Things Home.

We love to see what you're up to on Your blogs,

so please join in and share your inspiration.

This last week I joined in with a great group of gals and shared how I've used Mason Jars

around the house and in decorating. One fun way was from a post over 10 years ago

that I used them as votive holders with Candy Corn for Fall in late October.

Earlier in the week I brought out a little Fall decor and

shared my Entry Hall for Early Fall.

I found an old botanical print and a colorful mix of faux florals with

a grouping of concrete pears on the console.

Amber shared a gorgeous post filled with thrifted items gracing her lovely mantel.

We've been having great gatherings here with lots of Early-Fall decor, DIYs and recipes. Here are some great links from last week. Try to visit when you have a minute. Thank you so much ladies!

Barb shared a beautiful keepsake book from her son and daughter that inspired her to create a Cinderella, Pumpkins and Cloches, for an Ethereal Fall Mantel.

We all love them and want to save them at the end of Summer.

Kim from Shiplap and Shells gave us 3 Ways to Dry Hydrangeas.

I have a few pieces of furniture that I've painted with Chalk Paint
that have turned out a little gritty to the touch because I didn't sand properly,
so I really appreciate Stephanie's super tutorial on

How to Get a Smooth Finish with Chalk Paint

from Abbotts at Home.
