Journey Jots #49

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 October this week?! Gosh the fall season is going so fast!

What’s something good that’s happened in your life lately? I’d love to know in the comments!

Life Lately

The weather has finally started to cool down to more normal temps and it’s just gorgeous.

We’ve been able to resume taking Tilly on longer walks knowing that she won’t overheat! A few days ago, we drove to a trail near our house that meanders through the woods next to the Minnesota River. It’s so pretty in there…especially with all the leaves just starting to change colors!

Near said trail, there is a park that has a bunch of old homes from the 1800’s. There are chickens, cows, sheep, and pigs, too! Tilly loves to peek over the fence and smell the stinky animals 🙂

The flowers and plants are starting to die back for the year but these little daisies are still hanging on. I have to say… the wildflowers this summer and fall have put on quite the show with the abundance of them AND are the most vibrant colors I’ve ever seen!

Finally, miss Molly is just as cute as a button! She is really starting to get this walking thing down and wore her first pair of shoes ever this past week! She looked so adorable with fresh white sneakers on:)

Weekly Shopping Finds- Sustainable Fall Fashion

Quince is having a MAJOR sale right now…check out this organic mock neck sweater, organic cotton fisherman crew sweater, and the cashmere crewneck sweater.
This floral maxi skirt is beautiful and so versatile!
Again, on major sale from Quince, this quilted puffer jacket is adorable.
Who doesn’t love a good suede boot for fall?! A wardrobe staple in my opinion 🙂
This organic canvas crossbody bag is the perfect shade of green for any fall adventure!

On the Blog-Journey Jots #49

This past Thursday I shared a brand new Thrifted Goodies post all about 7 fall thrift store finds for budget decor! In it, you will find tips for finding fall decor at the thrift store and simple ways of styling it.

If you are in the middle of re-decorating your space for the season but don’t care to use an abundance of pumpkins, I’ve got just the thing! This post shares easy ways of styling your home for fall without using pumpkins!

And, if you want even MORE thrifty ideas for fall decorating, this vintage fall thrift haul might give you some ideas!

Coming Up on The Antiqued Journey

This coming week I’ll be sharing fall porch and patio decor using items you already have. Then, in a few weeks, come back for some fall shelf styling ideas.

Lots of super fun content coming your way. Be sure you are subscribed to my e-mail so you are the first to know about new posts and merchandise updates!

The Antiqued Journey Shop

I WROTE AN E-BOOK! My very first e-book, ‘An Introduction to: Antique and Vintage Home Decor’, is available for purchase and I couldn’t be more excited about it.

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 ready for purchase in the shop! 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?!

Closing Tidbits for Journey Jots #49

Thank you so much for being here and joining me! I love sharing a little bit of my daily life with you.

Have a lovely week ahead!

Sustainable Living Tip of the Week: Pick one cupboard, drawer, or closet to go through and organize each week. Make a donation bag for unused items and, before you know it, you will have purged many unneeded things from your home. It’s so refreshing!
