Fall Fun!

So yesterday I was talking about giving our little casa a boost of fall spirit, and last night I did just that! We had to make a little Wal Mart trip for a baby shower gift, and I stumbled across the cutest little fall deocrations that I couldn't resist. Check out our new centerpiece on the kitchen table:


Those little leaves are salt and pepper shakers! Only $2.00! Can you believe it?!?

And here's a close up of our new napkins...love the plaid.


And last but not least, a full view of our kitchen table...all for only $9.00! I never would have thought if was possible :) We had a pretty good amount of the decor already, we just got the napkins, fake fruit, and salt and pepper shakers to liven it up a bit!





I love it :) Everytime I go into the kitchen I just stop and stare at the masterpiece that is our table!
I also put a little fall decor on our media console in the living room. We already had everything, I just kind of rearraged it. The picture is a little dark, but you can get the idea:


Just two little baskets with mini apples, a glass platter, and an orange candle...all free because we already owned it all :)
I love Fall...and decorating our little casa.

October :)

It's been months since I've made a post...so I thought I'd pick it up again :)

I looooove October! It's my favorite month of the year for sure. I love to see the leaves changing colors, the beginning of fall weather, college football, pumpkins, scarecrows, everything! I just love it! Not to mention Jonathan proposed in October :) Another reason to love it!

I've been doing a few things around the house to get into the fall spirit too. I got a cute little fall wreath for the door and changed up our table centerpiece. I'm looking to get a couple more things too, to hopefully get us in the Fall/Halloween/Thanksgiving spirit. Once I do, I'll post some pictures of my ideas :) Mostly stolen from www.younghouselove.com - my most favorite blog in the world.

Besides the beginning of Fall and the wonderful things that come along with that, Jonathan and I are also hoping to have a new addition to our little family this month :) A puppy! We are so excited for the addition of a little furbaby into our house! We are getting the same type of dog that my Nana and my parents have - a Shih-Tzu. Last weekend I held one at the pet store and was just smitten! So we talked with the man who sold my grandma and parents their puppies, and he will be coming this way hopefully within the next couple of weeks to get a couple puppies, and he'll stop by Christiansburg and let us pick one out! Oh I just can't wait! Puppies are adorable - alot of work from what we hear, but I think we're up for the challenge :) I'm sure having a puppy around will lead to many posts of cute little puppy pictures and the crazy things I am sure he is going to do! I'm more than excited :) :)

Until next time...
