Style Scouting Vol. 4
Fall has arrived this weekend… it feels more like winter, but I am OK with that and all set to start enjoying the cozier time of year.

Speaking of cozy… I went to Nest Fest last weekend with my daughter. It is a handmade + vintage market held near Charlotte, NC by Myquillyn Smith. She is the blogger behind Nesting Place, also known as The Nester. It was a rainy day, but we still had fun.
With my ticket to the event, I received a copy of Myquillyn’s new book, Cozy Minimalist Home. If you like to decorate your home and need to pare down what you own, but don’t know where to start, you will enjoy this book. It has down to earth advice that anyone can do no matter your style or budget. Myquillyn is on the road promoting her book around the south in the tiny home where the photos above were taken.
Halloween is Wednesday. This is one clever way to make a plastic Jack-O-Lantern pumpkin look like you bought it at Magnolia Market. :-)
The trendy 5-Minute way to naturally decorate your dining room sideboard or table for Thanksgiving this year.

When you need a larger size rug size then what is available in stores, try this easy hack to enlarge any rug.
I have always been a paper and pen planner girl, but after trying this out, I may never go back to a paper planner. This video helped me understand how to use it.

Hosting Thanksgiving at your house this year? It is my favorite holiday that I love for many reasons, but one is that I can set a pretty table filled with dark and moody fall colors. I usually like white and light. I found these deep dish paper plates at Old Time Pottery. They hold a lot of food and come in handy if you don’t have a lot of china to serve a large gathering of family and friends.
Are you on Instagram? I am not very engaged on Instagram for one reason… I can’t see my phone’s screen, even with my reader glasses and a large phone. :-( I am hoping his clever work around may help me be able to post from my laptop. :-) Has anyone done this?
For all who emailed, here is the link to the large vase/crock I have on my hearth that was in the photos in my last post.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend. I hope you can take some time to enjoy some …cozy at home.
