Inexpensive Rustic Fall Centerpiece – Home for Fall
October 18, 2015 by 26 Comments
Every year at this time, I have to wear blinders when I go into stores, because we have lots of fall and winter birthdays in our family, and if I hope to put a Thanksgiving meal on the table and have any presents under the tree, I can’t spend money on ready-made decor. So when I found out that Hometalk was hosting a “Home for Fall” blog hop, I wanted to participate, but I challenged myself to do it without buying a single {Read More}
Halloween Sheet Music

Sometimes life throws you a curveball, and this was a curveball kind of week. As I mentioned recently, my parents are here for a two-week visit, but they left for a few days to visit other extended family. When they returned back to my house last night, my dad tripped over one of our dogs and fell on the concrete right outside my door. I called for an ambulance and he was taken to the ER.

Vintage Owls Image

I’m on a bit of a milk cap kick lately, and each month I’m a contributor at My Repurposed Life where I’m sharing how I turned some of my collection of caps into kitchen wall art that does double duty as refrigerator magnets. Pop over and visit me there for the tutorial! This book plate showing 2 kinds of owls is from the same 1920’s book as some other bird images I’ve shared in the past, and has 2 owls – a {Read More}
Farmhouse Autumn Decor and Project Ideas
September 18, 2015 by 13 Comments
It’s been a while since I’ve done a Farmhouse Friday post, but I think autumn is an easy time to decorate with farmhouse style, because of the abundance of natural elements like pumpkins, foliage and pine cones that are so easy to find, and they all have that cozy look a farmhouse should have. I’ve rounded up some wonderful and fairly easy Autumn decor ideas that won’t break the bank that I think you’ll love. Let’s get started! One {Read More}
September Music Page Printable
September 17, 2015 by 3 Comments
A few days ago, I was waiting for my son to get done at an event at our local library, so I passed the time looking around in the used bookstore the library operates to get rid of books that no longer get checked out often. Hardback books were all marked down, so I quickly scanned the shelves for old ones, and found a school music book from the early 1900’s. When I opened the cover, the very first song {Read More}
Ushering in Autumn Mantel and Wood Slice Letters
September 14, 2015 by 26 Comments
Did you know that autumn, winter, spring and summer all have 1 thing in common, aside from being seasons? Can you guess what it is? They all have 6 letters in them! So, who cares, right? Wrong! You can get double duty out of the project I’m sharing today, because I made some wood slice letters to display as part of my autumn mantel decor, and since wood slices have 2 sides, you can put the letters for one season {Read More}
Apple Inspired Chair Makeover
September 12, 2015 by 22 Comments
If you reach back in your memory bank, you may recall a sweet little chair that I gave a makeover last year. I really did love it, but the other day I started craving some apple inspired color in my house, so I made over that sweet little chair again! That’s the nice thing about paint – you can change your mind on a whim and have a whole new look in no time.
Autumn Sheet Music Printable

Autumn will be here soon, so I have a pretty autumn printable for you. It’s an antique sheet music page, called “Breath of Autumn”, that came from a 1920’s magazine for musicians. There are so many projects this could be used on, like a greeting card, or as part of mantle decor. Enjoy! {CLICK ON IMAGE TO ENLARGE} If you use it to create a project, be sure to share it on my Reader Features page HERE. You can find more free printable antique sheet {Read More}
