  12. June, I'm loving
    your sweet shop
    dreams and your
    autumn schemes : )!!
    I guess I should
    high-tail it to
    the fabric store
    for some burlap,
    as it makes every-
    thing seem a bit
    cozier... Happy
    Monday!

  14. Great fall porch decorations, Hilary! I still haven't changed up my porch for fall yet. It's just too hot here in Cali to get into it.
    I always put out my Halloween decorations the first weekend of October regardless of how warm it is here, though, so that's what I'll be doing this weekend. :)
    Have a great week!

  19. Hilary- Oh to have a front porch to "fall" up!! It looks really seasonal now. Love the corn shucks, the bench, and the burlap wrapped, potted mums. Isn't this just the best part of the year?

  21. Don't you just love having a nice, big front porch to decorate, Hilary? I had never had one before we moved to our vintage farmhouse, and I am enjoying it so much! It's like having a whole 'nother room to decorate. I adore the way you hung the painting on your porch and used the burlap around your pots. Very pretty!
