How To Make A Bow Tutorial And Video
Happy Wednesday everyone! As promised, here is my How To Make A Bow Tutorial And Video! This is only my second tutorial and I'm in much need of some practice but I tried my best not to confuse you. I angled the camera so that it would look as if you were standing behind me looking over me rather than in front of me. I once had someone try and show me how to make a bow while standing directly in front of me and I just couldn’t get it so I taught myself. Yes, I’m self taught and hope that...
Black Friday Sales
Happy Wednesday everyone! The Black Friday Sales are crazy this year! I’m getting so many bloggers posting their favorite picks, emails from some of my favorite stores, and suggestions from friends and family. I thought I’d put together a list of pet products, home products, fashion, and beauty along with promotional codes to use. I've started my Christmas shopping and bought new wrapping paper at Hobby Lobby's 75% off Christmas sale so I'm covered in that department. I do love using bags...
Turkey Table
Happy Wednesday everyone! I’m hosting Thanksgiving this year and couldn’t wait to put my Turkey Table together to show you! These dishes were bought a few years ago at Home Goods and I love them because they are nice and big for all the fixings! It actually took me 3 years to get matching dinner and salad plates but I was patient and kept looking :-). This table is all about fall colors in shades of blue, caramel, gold, burgundy, rust, orange, and green. Never be afraid to mix patterns...
Pumpkins And Skulls Table
Happy Wednesday everyone! I’m so excited to show you my Pumpkins And Skulls Table this year! It’s a little bit of spooky, fun, whimsical, shimmery, and striking with the orange and black together. I used these dinner plates that I found at Home Goods in my Skulls And Spiders Table and included pieces that I’ve purchased over the years and more recent including these oh so cute miniature skull candles I found at TJMaxx in Steubenville, OH! You guys, I think this is the my favorite TJMaxx!...
Skulls And Spiders Table
Happy Monday everyone! Today on the blog is my Skulls And Spiders Table which was so fun to put together. In previous years, I wanted happy and pumpkins. This year I wanted dramatic and dark so off I went in search of skulls, skeletons, graves, and spiders. Where did I find it all, you ask? I was able to find almost everything at Big Lots (they are running a 20% off on all their fall stuff until 9/23). I made pit stops at Home Goods, Walmart, Dollar General, and Hobby Lobby to complete...
Summer To Fall Table 2022
Happy Monday everyone! I’m starting to see fall decor out in the stores which is giving me all the fall feels! Fall is my favorite time of the year. I start spring and summer with a bang wanting to be outdoors working on my yard but then I start to crave fall weather abut this time. I love transition pieces that can transition you from summer to fall without breaking the bank and what better way to do that is to create a Summer To Fall Table! The table adds color, is already set for...
July 4th Tablescape 2022
This is a repost: I wanted to post my July 4th Tablescape 2022 again incase you missed it last year. It's a great jumping off point for ideas and a quick recipe incase you are struggling to find ideas for a quick party treat. What is everyone doing this year? We will be out and about during the day but home before dark because our neighbor puts on a huge fireworks display and Jake And Maggie are terrified of the noise. I did a post a while ago on noise anxiety in dogs if you would like...
How I Decorated My Porch
Happy Monday everyone! Me and the dogs have been working so hard this spring and summer on our porch and patio and are so proud of what we have accomplished. Today on the blog is How I Decorated My Porch! We (Mr. TAL and I) added some new outdoor curtains and a fire pit along with bright pink pillows! With pit stops at Home Goods, Walmart, Lowe's, and an online order at Amazon.com, we made it happen! Jake And Maggie are loving the porch. They find their spots and look out over the yard...
Revive And Refresh Package
This is a re-post. We are day 23 of The 24 Days Before Christmas and I appreciate you staying with me through my daily posts. Tomorrow will be my last post for the year and it has been wonderful blogging for you, reading your comments, and hearing your suggestions. I created this Revive and Refresh package and am so excited to continue on with it into 2023. We have a new year ahead of us and I hope all your wishes, dreams, plans, and goals come together for you. The holidays are almost...
My 1920s Buffet Table Makeover
Happy Wednesday everyone! I’ve been planning on showing you My 1920’s Buffet Table Makeover for a while now. Mr. TAL and I found this piece on Facebook Marketplace about a year ago for $150. We were new to the marketplace but excited to try it out. I have refinished 6 pieces so far along with a full kitchen cabinet makeover but all pieces were either something I already had or were given to me. Based on what others were charging for the same thing and it being in fairly good shape I said...
How I Updated My $5 Accent Table
Happy Monday everyone!!! I’m so excited to show you how I updated a $5.00 accent table that I bought last year at an estate sale in Pittsburgh, PA. One corner of my living room had a lonely lamp sitting all by itself for what seemed like….forever! I kept saying we needed more seating in our living room and wanted a chair to go in the spot next to our entertainment center and lamp. Mr. TAL and I found this Queen Anne chair on Facebook Marketplace for $150 and knew I had to give my little...
Spring Floral Table
Happy Wednesday everyone! This spring floral table is a perfect post for today. The rain has stopped and the sun is out (thank goodness)! This table just makes you happy. With so many shades of colors who wouldn’t find something they didn’t like. This tablescape can be dressed up or down but I chose to keep it a bit more casual. I also considered the types of foods I was serving and used different ramekins and sized plates. Our meal of fingers foods, chips, dips, and desserts was a...
