Shop Window Fall Event Inspiration...

Next door to a little thrift shop I frequent is a new business called 'The Event Place'.  Their store front windows have been amazing.  Take a look at this month's window - seemingly depicting 
an outdoor Fall wedding or other special event.  
First up... an old farm table dressed for 2 with burlap and satin...
And the most adorable seating ever...
 Loving the handmade program fans...
 And 1 more piece of white chippy goodness just because...
Good thing I take my camera everywhere!

The Narrow Gate...

Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad 
is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 
But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, 
and only a few find it. 
Matthew 7:13,14

Message Center From Game Pieces...

Recently I picked up a vintage table game that had the best little pieces inside.  Check out this board with hooks to hang letter tiles. It's just great for sign making.  I hung a little Christmas ornament 
as adornment - but the possibilities are endless.  
 
Think menu, advent calendar, memo board, greeting sign, 
quote a bible verse,  to-do list, and on and on.  The square holes 
are 'open' -  but it would be simple to mount this to a board 
and cover the back with fabric or paper.
 
 As much as I adore this piece - I don't seem to have the 
right spot for it right now.  So it's going in my 
Etsy shop for someone else to enjoy...
Get more fun ideas over at Inspiration Friday.

Ways to Tie a Scarf...

In the summer - I refrain from extra layers.  While they look cute - 
I just get too hot.  But with Fall approaching - it's time to think scarves and jackets once again.  Thought I'd share this cute 
how-to diagram that I found this morning...
