When I posted about our fresh new front door paint, you got a peek at the new Fall Wreath I made and I promised to share details later. Well, it is a month later and I’m just getting to sharing the details. Truth is, I kept thinking I would finish decorating the front porch for […]
DIY Halloween Decor
I’m not sure that I ever made any Halloween décor. I’m not a huge Halloween decorator…I prefer just to have Fall décor to be able to keep it out longer. But, this summer when I found some spider web decoupage paper at a yard sale, I knew I was going to use it for Halloween […]
Cherry Red Apple
I haven’t been spray painting as much this year…not sure why, maybe it is because of my current obsession with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint! But, I was on a spray paint kick around July 4th. Don’t ask me why/how I remember that, but I think it might be because of the bright red paint. I […]
Fall Home Tour
Surprisingly, I managed to decorate our house for Fall the day before it is actually Fall! For your everyday person, the day before Fall is early to have your decorating done, but for a blogger it is late. I was fortunate to have some time at home today to pull out all my fall decorations […]
Fall Porch Decor with DIY Wreath
The weather has finally turned here in Lancaster and it is certainly feeling like Fall….I’m actually wrapped in a blanket typing this!! With the changing weather, I was motivated to begin transitioning our home to Fall. My first step was to make a new Fall wreath. The last few years, I had used the […]
Community Supported Agriculture
This past Spring, Bob and I decided to participate in Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) for the first time. Our first share – June 5th Admittedly, I didn’t know much about a CSA before this year. A CSA is where individuals enroll in a “share” with a local farmer. The share is priced for the growing season, […]
Annual Tractor Ride – 2013 edition
For the last 8 years, my family has had plans for the 1st Sunday in October – it is the annual tractor ride in Juniata County. I wrote about last year, here. Last year, it was pretty chilly and there was a threat of rain, so there were only about 10 tractors that joined the […]
Fall Decorating…Finally
My Fall decorating seemed to take forever this year. I think I actually started it before it was officially Fall, and I’m just now getting it “done”. Fortunately, I got some areas done earlier, so I was able to share my No-Sew Tablerunner with natural décor and then I was in the Fall spirit with my […]
Making Whoopie
Whoopie Pies, that is! With that arrival of Fall, it seemed like the perfect occasion to make some Pumpkin Whoopie Pies. After all, Lancaster is the home of the whoopie pie. I know Maine residents disagree, but in Lancaster, we know it is the true home of the whoopie pie. The recipe is quite easy, basically […]
Simple and Natural Fall Tablescape
I’m very slowly getting the house decorated for Fall. I have tried to decorate the house differently this year, so it takes me much longer. I need to arrange things and let it sit to decide if I like it and if it actually looks ok too. I have learned it doesn’t come naturally to […]
