Autumn-themed display featuring dried leaves, a thin branch, and small bright orange pumpkins arranged on a white background.

Random thoughts on an almost September Saturday morning:

1. Happy Labor Day weekend.

Wishing you all the fun this weekend without any labor.

2. Have you ever played Pokeno before? I’m in a Pokeno group (as well as a Bunko group) and the group plays every month. Pokeno is kind of like Bingo and it’s so much fun.

You can see the game like the one we used here.

3. We are heading down to Waco to the first Baylor football game. The first football game is always the best. I so hope we win.

Football fingers crossed.

4. I decided there are two things I am not about. Scary movies and roller coasters.

Umm.

No. Just no.

5. It was a fun week on the blog. We discussed:

  • these amazing fall doormats
  • do NOT decorate with this for fall
  • this fall fairy garden
  • ideas for decorating a front door for fall

And now?

Let’s see all the amazing stuff I found for us to start the weekend off right.

LET’S GO.

An open botanical sketchbook displays dried flowers, watercolor sketches, and notes. Surrounding items include paint tubes, a gold quill, a small plant, a fabric swatch, and a Mustard Seed Interiors logo in the bottom-left corner.

I’ve always wanted to press flowers.

Especially in a notebook like this—it’s such a brilliant idea.

You can see all the details here.

Isn’t this the cutest?

I love anything pumpkin—especially if it’s baked brie.

See the recipe here.

Yard sale season is in full swing around here.

Outfit of the day

One of my favorite outfits for fall.

It’s so cozy and comes in tons of colors and it’s the perfect summer-to-fall outfit and it’s on sale for 20% off right now.

The pants are actually a little longer than this. I rolled up the waistband because I’m so short. There are buttons on the top, but the top two buttons are just for show. Hope you love this as much as I do.

The outfit is linked here (and it’s 20% off right now).

 

And here’s one more for the road

This Dollar Tree pumpkin wreath was one of my most popular projects last year.

You can see the how-to here.

Happy Random Saturday to You
