Journey Jots #48
Hello, guys! Welcome to another Jots and a brand new week! I hope you are doing well. Can you believe that we are already entering the last full week of September?! This month is just flying by.
What’s something good that’s happened in your life lately? I’d love to know in the comments!
Life Lately
It’s still been SO HOT here in the North…we just can’t seem to get out of the 80’s! I was texting with a friend the other night about the heat…we’re both so over it. One, because it’s September and isn’t supposed to be nearing 90 this late in the season and two, we both have new sweaters that we want to wear. Bring on sweater weather!
ANYWAYS!
We’ve still been enjoying nature with Tilly girl. She is on some new medication for her acid reflux and is responding really well to it, so fingers crossed it continues to help!
I also treated myself to a few new fall finds from Target the other day.
Years ago, when we went on a pilgrimage to Magnolia in Waco, I purchased a set of long-handled, skinny wooden tasting spoons from the shop. They have been THE BEST spoons for so many things in the kitchen. And, sadly, we are down to one. I’ve been on the hunt for a set to replace them but haven’t found any that I’ve liked until now!
The set of 4 copper tasting spoons are from the Hearth and Hand line and think they will be the perfect replacement for the dwindling wooden ones. Is it ironic that these spoons happen to be from the brain of the Magnolia brand?! I think not!
While I was at it, I just had to get a new kitchen towel, too 🙂 The dish soap is a scent that I’ve not tried before, usually I get the apple cider version, but this fall leaves scent smells SO good.
I’ll link everything below for you in case you are interested in these, too!
And, finally, our uncle who lives in Florida recently captured this sunset on the beach. I thought it was just stunning and wanted to share it with you! We are hoping to get back to Florida this winter and I can’t wait 🙂

The Antiqued Journey Shop
In case you haven’t heard the news yet, I WROTE AN E-BOOK! My very first e-book, ‘An Introduction to: Antique and Vintage Home Decor’, was released early last week and I couldn’t be more excited about it. It’s been two years in the making!
The e-book is a 32 page, downloadable PDF file that you will receive in your email upon purchase. In it, you will find tips for sourcing, pricing, and styling decor from milk glass to copper to linens. I do hope you check it out!
There is new TAJ merch in the shop section of my website. You will find super cute t-shirts, mugs, and even an iPhone case designed by yours truly.
Each purchase means the world to me and helps me to continue writing weekly content. Thank you for supporting my small business!
Fall Candles from The Antiqued Journey
Fall candles are ready and live in the shop now!
These candles are made from all natural soy and contain cotton wicks. I hand pour each candle out of my kitchen.
There are four super cozy scents to choose from. As we begin to wind down the summer and welcome fall into our homes, a fall candle is the perfect thing…don’t you think?!
