Post Ian and Happiness Is Homemade Party
Post Ian and Happiness Is Homemade Party
Ian has left Florida and has delivered such destruction. We were very lucky, no damage to our house or our family homes. Our power went out Wednesday evening and it finally came back on tonight.
We had a lot of debris and branches in the yard. We filled up 30 garbage cans and then I stopped counting. I love having over an acre of land, but the last two days, I would have liked less land. After two days of racking and dumping, the yard is finally back to normal. I wish I could say the same for me. I have blisters on top of blisters and I am exhausted.
At least we have our home. I can't imagine all of those whose homes were destroyed. It was difficult to watch all of the devastation. It seemed like it was going to be rather quiet season for hurricanes. You just never know.
Happy October and can I say it please… I am so Happy I live in a World with Octobers. What a fun month, Fall has started, Canadian Thanksgiving and yes Halloween. And the start of Q4 for all the bloggers. OMG what a month. Welcome to Happiness is Homemade Ready For October.
This is my month, I love hosting for October,. All the other months my amazing co-hosts share their favs. This month, A Labour of Life gets to share her love of Fall, Canadian Thanksgiving and Halloween, for this Canadian it is an amazing time of year. Today, I celebrate Fall in all its glory. Muted Pumpkins, Rustic Decor and all the things to sip and savour. Come show us what you are working on.
Celebration of Pumpkins aka Ghourd Delight
This week, a return to all things Fall. Celebrating everything Pumpkin, from food, to drinks to decor, it's all about the Ghourd.
First up is the cutest little pumpkin patch sign from Must Have Mom. Y'all know how much I love my Dollar Tree crafts, good lord I have pinterest boards dedicated to every season celebrating Dollar Tree. So this fun idea, caught my eye. Turning a Reception Sign for a wedding into a Fall Statement was too cute to pass up
Cheers to Pumpkin Martini's
Next up from Organized Island is a fun and festive Pumpkin Spice Martini. This festive drink is great for a fall cocktail party or for a Thanksgiving cocktail. And made with just three ingredients. Not sure about you but this just got added to my Thanksgiving Dinner Menu.
Where's the Mousse
The Savory Cippola is treating us to a decadent Fall Dessert. This decadent no-bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse is made with super easy ingredients and is a delicious twist to a classic pumpkin dessert that comes together in no time.
Pumpkin Decor Around the Home
How cute is the Fall refresh from Penny's Treasures? Just a quick and easy refresh in some non traditional fall colours.
Seems odd for me not to share a fun fallscape table, but I really wanted to stick to a pumpkin theme this week for you, Canadian Thanksgiving is next weekend so share some fun ideas for me to use, got a fun table idea, a new dessert or a Turkey surprise?? Hit me up with a new link.
