Happy First Day of Fall!! Are you ready for pumpkins and changing leaves and cozy sweaters/

With temperatures hovering around 80 degrees for the next couple of weeks, I probably won’t be donning any heavy sweaters just yet, but everything pumpkin is fair game now!

Last weekend we spent a lovely couple of days at the lake with our dear friends. We counted and think this is the 19th summer of lake trips together, and now they share their own lake house with us! You can read more about their lake house in this post.

This week at home we’ve had lots of volleyball, a few morning peacock sightings on the way to school, and Jeff and I squeezed in a little date night last night! We’re looking forward to a quiet weekend at home this weekend — the first in a long time!

It was a really fun week on the blog! Inspired by Pottery Barn, I had the best time creating this DIY terracotta bead garland! If you love a Pottery Barn look, but maybe not the price, I shared all the details and steps to create this pretty beaded garland for your fall vignettes in this post!
