Fall is the Season for Candles

October 11, 2018

Do you know what I love most about fall? Besides pumpkins, sweaters and jeans? Candles. Not the battery operated ones; real candles with wax and wicks. Where, when lit, the candles share their scents of apples, pumpkins, cinnamon, sugar cookies, and vanilla. Fall is the season for candles. I think it’s why we have daylight savings? So we can celebrate candles.

I stock up my cabinets year round for the months following August. Candles are one of the must-have purchases at any home goods store (did you see what I just did)?

And, every suitcase can fit at least one candle. When I travel, I love to purchase (at least) one candle from a local gift store. And, does anyone get the candle sale emails from Bath & Body?

Where is your favorite place to buy candles?

I went a little overboard on their glass candles last year. But who can resist a candle called Flipping Awesome?

I shared an easy video on how to clean out glass candle jars here!

I love Anthropologie candles with their shimmery, mercury glass jars that add sparkle to every space.

Doesn’t Anthropologie have an annual candle sale during the holidays? Did I dream this sale?

Candles are the perfect hostess or birthday gift during the fall season.

I like to tuck miscellaneous white candles in my new favorite fall decor.

And, when my new favorite lantern needs to be filled with fall; just fall. Assorted candles are a great way to mix old and new candles.

I can almost smell the pumpkin spice.

Fall Dining Room Tour

October 3, 2018

The dining room table is the center of attention in our house so the Pinterest pressure was on to create something pin worthy.

I know I am a little late to the fall tour parties, but I blame it on tennis balls. I just finished women’s USTA tennis and my son is in the middle of his senior year and co-captain of his Varsity tennis team. You may see a few tennis balls during the fall dining tour.

A week ago, the dining room looked more like the tableware aisles at Homegoods at the end of the weekend. But, today the table is ready to mingle. Please take a peek at my fall dining room tour (before tennis racquets and sweaty uniforms take over the chaise.

Thankfully, the fall season comforts me with its familiarity and cozy spirit. And, apple and pumpkin scented candles help too.

Our dining room table is a member of our family. I shared the table’s history here. It carries the load when some of us don’t have the energy to drop our keys or lunch bags on the kitchen counter- four feet away.

The dining room is the one room that feels complete. Well, unless I look at the rug or the lack of lighting along the hutch.

When I found this hutch last fall I felt like the room matured overnight. I found it at Pottery Barn and shared the details here.

.I purchased the mirrors this past spring here; one at a time over the course of a few weeks.

Cash flow was one reason, but I also wanted to make sure I liked them before I ordered a 2nd.

I love these mirrors. Homegoods has a great selection of mirrors too. But, if you see one, it’s best to snag it.

After spending a few weeks pinning fall tablescapes and front porches I could no longer remember what I owned.

I love white pumpkins against the wood grain table. Oh and concrete.

And, is it just me or did Homegoods have a ton of fun pumpkins this season? Just when I didn’t think I needed (wanted) more pumpkins, Homegoods brings in shades of large green pumpkins and raffia pumpkins?

You all know what pumpkins I am talking about, right?

It’s scary that I remember the price of the large, solid shades of green pumpkins ($24.99), but I can’t remember the book title I am reading.

When in doubt; add a candle. Candles make everything look better when the lights are dimmed.

And simple fall stems mixed with branches are a great way to add a little vertical next to the large windows that overlook the backyard.

I loved this look so much I duplicated this look a few times around the house. When my accessories are all the same height this is a good way to take the eye up.

And, guess where I grabbed these dried grasses? Found them in the line to check out at Homegoods.

I wrapped a glass vase (from my own version of a Homegoods stock room) with twinkle lights.

Are they called twinkle or fairy lights?

Anyway, I wrapped a strand around the glass vase to add a little lighting to the dining room hutch.

Week-Ending Fall Television Season

September 15, 2018

It’s the weekend! Thoughts and prayers are with residents and first responders in North and South Carolina. We were in Charleston last spring for a college tour. It is a beautiful part of the country.

So let’s lighten the mood with a few thoughts and finds around the internet. This week-ending is all about the fall television season. Yes, I am taking a short break from pumpkins to talk about the fall television season- the fifth season in the year.

Here’s the list of all the new television shows debuting this fall.

CBS shared their fall preview here.

I have my eye on this NBC show by Amy Poehler.

Here is an interview with one of the cast members. You may recognize him from other shows. Fun fact: at one point he was married to Rory Gilmore’s best friend, Paris.

Another Gilmore Girls’ alum has his show renewed for a second season. Here is the fall television schedule for ABC.

Speaking of the Gilmore Girls…is there talk of another season? My daughter and I binged watched the most recent one over Thanksgiving two years ago. I loved Lorelai’s coat in the winter season.

Oh, and then I found this fun article of filming mistakes that may want you to rewatch it one more time.
