Happiness Is Homemade Party
Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade Party
Happy Halloween, and welcome to Happiness is Homemade! We're so glad you're here to share and explore with us. I will miss the Halloween decorations, but I still have the fall ones that will be up through Thanksgiving.
We have had some really beautiful cool weather. it certainly reminds me of Halloween nights up north. We don't get many kids for Trick & Treat, just the neighbor's son. I miss the days when we had around 100 kids show up. Times have certainly changed. Do you still have lots of kids at your door?
Have a wonderful Halloween and a beautiful Sunday.
Since today is Halloween, I had to choose one last Halloween post. This garden party by Hyacinths for the Soul is bear-y cute! Sarah set up a fun and treat filled afternoon for her great-nieces both inside and outside her home. If you've been around Life as a LEO Wife for any length of time, you know I love a themed party or get-together, and this one is perfect. Sarah had hot chocolate, Oreos, and Halloween teddy bears for her nieces, and I'm sure they loved it!
I had to choose this refinished dresser by our own Beverly at Eclectic Red Barn. Her in-laws no longer needed this wood dresser, and her daughter-in-law needed one. The finished project is beautiful. My mom gave her old dresser to my daughter, and it is almost identical to this one. I hope my daughter will let me re-do hers now!
We have one more month to decorate our homes for fall, and Denise at My Home of All Seasons has some great inspiration for us to decorate with our fall baskets. I love the ways that she used six of her baskets to bring fall into her home. There are also some great tips in the post for how to fill your baskets without having to find a ton of items to put in them.
Thanksgiving is almost here which means it's time to slow down and begin to think of all of the things we have to be thankful for this year. Carol at Blue Sky at Home made a stenciled wood sign that lists things that we can all be grateful for. In her post she gives a step-by-step tutorial for painting and making your own beautiful sign that you can customize to fit your family and home!
Our final feature this month is this gorgeously styled Thanksgiving tiered-tray by Lori at Dining Delight. She is from Canada, where they have already had their Thanksgiving day. We in the US get the benefit of that, because we can use her tray as inspiration for our own tiered-trays and vignettes. I love how she used items like bowls to lift up the houses and pumpkins so that you can see everything on the tray.
