Journey Jots #90
Hello, guys! How are ya?! Can you believe we’re already starting the last week of August?! Are you doing anything fun to celebrate these last few weeks of summer?
I love hearing from you and learning what’s new in your world. Let me know in the comments!
Life Lately
I’ve been back at it thrifting! Now’s the time to start hunting for fall decor, Christmas items, and gifts! You’ll see many of my recent thrift finds in this week’s blog post, but I’ll just say…I’ve found some AMAZING things!
Slowly but surely I’m making progress on my paint by number. The flowers in the picture are starting to come through! I’m really excited about this one…it’s going to look SO pretty when it’s finished…whenever that is!
Tilly has been doing so well on her new allergy regimen! She’s happy so I’m happy 🙂
Finally, I received a pretty neat package in the mail the other day! I have a super fun collaboration coming up for the holiday season, in October actually, so stay tuned for that!
I’m very excited to share the plans I have for what’s in the box.
Weekly Shopping Finds- Pretty Decor for Early Fall
- This burgundy vintage-looking fabric pumpkin is so lovely.
- Plaid kitchen towels are timeless!
- Terracotta is such a lovely fall color, like this leaf bowl. This would make beautiful shelf decor!
- How pretty is this moody throw pillow?!
- This straw wreath is on SALE and the colors in it are SO perfect for this time of year.

This past week, I shared a brand new post all about clever ways of using vintage wooden crates. In it, you will find 8 unique ways of utilizing these old boxes from decor to storage to centerpieces!
If you are looking to spruce up your porch for the fall season, these thrifty patio and porch ideas using everyday items may be just the thing! I share how to ‘shop your house’ and utilize things that you already have to create a festive outdoor space for fall.
And, finally, for some fall vintage decorating tips, look no further than vintage copper! In this post, you’ll find a plethora of easy ways to style this pretty metal into your home for the season.
