October Garden Room and the Baker's Rack

With October slipping through our fingers, November will be here in a quick minute. Then come preparations for Thanksgiving and before we know it Christmas is on our doorstep...literally. I love late Fall and Thanksgiving, so I'm not one to skip it and move directly to Christmas. I brought out my tubs for Thanksgiving goodies and started to clear off the Baker's Rack and wicker pieces when I realized that whoops... I hadn't actually shared the Garden Room since August.  

October Entry with the Snow Owls

Last week I shared a sweet little DIY on my Glitter Snow Owls that I made about 9 years ago, and use each year this last bit in October and early November. Fall is the perfect time for "owling" and I've been intrigued with them and vintage illustrations for years. I remember as a child living in the country, the unmistakable "hoots" before I fell asleep at night. And yes, they're a tad bit spooky so that fits in with this time of year.

October Inspiration at All About Home #114

Hello friends and Welcome

 to the All About Home Link Party!

Finally it's cooling down a bit and we're seeing more color in the trees. We've had a lot of rain, so let's bring Full-On Fall! Fall and Holiday creativity is abounding this time of year, and I had such a good time going through all the amazing links this last week! It's hard to keep up with all the fun going on, as October seems to take on a life of it's own. Hang On!...were rolling toward the Big Holidays! 

This time of year we have so many fun Fall projects and DIYs;

 it's always an abundance of great posts, ideas and inspiration. 

Thank you for taking the time to come by and share 

what you're up to this week. We always look forward 

to seeing all the great DIYs, decor, crafts, gardening,  

and recipes that you are all creating. 

Elegant Glitter Snow Owls DIY

As the calendar goes, it's a little late in the season to be sharing Fall DIY projects, but I was ready to post my Late October Entry where I'm using my pretty little Glitter Snow Owls. So before I shared my current October Entry, I wanted to post again how my little Glitter Owls came to be. 

Romancing the October Holiday Cupboard

Last year for the "first" October Holiday Cupboard, it was natural for me to come up with a whimsical theme for late October. But this year, as I do in any seasonal display, I like to stretch a little bit and use different vintage items to create something seasonal and holiday compatible. So instead of just using vintage pumpkins and Fall critters (which I love), this time I brought out some "romantic" vintage items to give it an altogether new look.

Hello friends and Welcome

 to the All About Home Link Party!

Anyone else out there that wants to grab ahold and slow down October? It's my favorite month of the year and I want to be able to savor each moment! The leaves haven't even changed yet and October is slipping away. Christmas decor and projects have already started showing up in blogland. OKay, I get it, I just want to drink in the colors of Fall without Santa Claus banging on the door!

Foraging for Fall on the Potting Bench

Hello friends, hope you're having a lovely Fall weekend! Earlier in the week I shared my meager Fall Cottage Front Porch with a few fall accents, mums and pumpkins. So today I want to show how I foraged around my yard to put together a couple of floral arrangements gleaned from bushes and the last of the summer flower containers. I'm out on the covered patio out back with the Potting Bench.
