Happy Friday friends! How has your week gone? Mine seemed to be crazy busy with blog stuff this week, which has been amazing. I have to say that I am grateful for all the beautiful comments and emails I've been receiving lately. I really feel like this little blog of mine is beginning to take off and I appreciate all the love and support you've been sending my way. It feels so nice knowing that I'm making friends out there, even if I may never get to meet you face to face. So whether you subscribe to my blog or follow me on social media, thank you. And for those of you who are visiting for the first time today, I hope my blog can provide something that will interest and inspire you!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend and enjoy my favorite links from the week!
A reader left a comment on my Hometalk page about problems she was having mixing up the DIY chalk paint I had posted. Her paint turned out very thick and grainy. While I've never had any problems mixing up the paint, I was wondering if any of you had experienced similar problems. My only thought about why this might have happened is that the plaster of Paris was added to the water, rather than adding the water to the plaster. Any other ideas? If you have any suggestions, I'd love if you'd let me know in the comments section below!
Second, I am super excited to share that a girl from my hometown is going to be competing on Sunday as Miss Ohio in the Miss America pageant. And to top that, she was actually the winner of the preliminary talent competition. I haven't watched in years, but will definitely be tuning in this year. I live in a very small, rural area so this is a really big thing. I'd love to see her make it into the top 15.
And now on to my favorite links of the week....
I received such amazing comments and compliments last fall on the mantel display that I posted. It was very layered and complex. While I enjoy doing displays like that, I can also get a little stressed out making it look perfect.
This year, I decided I wanted to go simple (and stress free) with my fall decorations. I wanted something laid back and cozy, yet still have all the elements of fall. You can't go wrong with some leaves, pumpkins, and pine cones!
Thank you so much for visiting today to see my favorite links of the week! I've heard from some of you that you are really enjoying this on Fridays. It is so much fun to put together this post each week and look back over all the things I've discovered, so I'm glad that you are enjoying it as much as I am. I'd love to know what you've found interesting this week, too.
Have a fantastic weekend and I'll see you back here on Monday!
