Rustic Transferware Tablescape for Thanksgiving

Hello friends, I'm re-sharing a favorite Thanksgiving tablescape post that I created back in 2013 at our original "blog house". I bring this out of the moth balls every few years because to me it's still up-to-date for a vintage style holiday gathering. I know it's later in the Thanksgiving season, but it might give us a last minute idea or two for our own holiday tables using vintage dishes and ironstone with autumn (or any season) color. 

5 Quick and Easy Ideas to Get in the Mood for Fall... even if you're not quite ready.

I know so many of us want to ease into the Fall season, but it's too hot in August and early September to get much in the mood. As much as I love fall, digging into tubs and boxes in hot storage areas, dragging out a bunch of faux pumpkins, and slathering on the fake leaf garlands just isn't appealing when you're breaking out in a sweat. I'd much rather take an approach that's gradual and less stressful.

Scottish Tartan Throws for Decorating

Hello friends, how's your mid-February going? Warm... cold... a little of both? Since it's still February and currently 40 degrees today, I guess technically it's okay if I share a little something in the warm/snuggly/cuddly category. I'm talking about Tartan wool throws and blankets. I have several that are vintage, that I use for Thanksgiving and Christmastime decor. I just love anything Tartan plaid and I'm a teensy bit obsessed with all things Burberry or resembling that particular plaid.

Hey Everyone, I'm sharing part of the Garden Room today,

and will probably need another post to cover it all.

What can I say... it's a big room and I have lots of junk  vintage goodies.
