Fall Decorating, Cooking & Baking

Guess what? Not only do I have an amazing selection of Vintage treasures at the shop, but I'm also passionate about baking! Fall is the perfect season to fill the kitchen with delightful aromas and to explore endless decorative ideas for any style. Dive into magazines or hop onto Pinterest for inspiration. Let me kick things off by sharing some of the creative touches I've added to my Florida home!

I kicked off my project with a grapevine wreath, easily found at almost any craft store, and the creativity just flowed from there! I added a ribbon that I love using it all year round. Then, I went wild with my favorite flowers and leaves, and threw in some white pumpkins for that extra pop! Mix and match any combination of flowers or decor—go bold and have fun with it! Once Halloween is over, I simply remove the leaves and pumpkins, save them for next year, and start re-decorating the wreath for Christmas. One wreath, endless possibilities! I use the same approach under my entrance hall table. (see below).

Fall Apple Season


Get ready to embrace the apple season from September through October! Let's dive into this delightful time of year and make the most of it. With so many apple varieties available and new ones popping up all the time, picking the perfect one can be a fun adventure. I recommend checking online to find the ideal apple for your recipe. I've whipped up homemade apple sauce before, and while it takes a bit of time, the incredible flavor makes it absolutely worth it. If you have some time to spare, I highly suggest giving it a try and using it in the recipe below. Enjoy the delicious journey!
