Fall in Love with Texas Blog Tour

 Hi and welcome to my home!  Come on in and I'll show you around.  The lovely Katie, from  Let's Add Sprinkles has organized this special Fall in Love with Texas Blog Tour, and we appreciate all of her hard work!

Let's stop by and grab a cup of tea from my thrifted coffee table that I refinished a couple of years ago.  The throw on my sofa is a quilt-as-you-go minky quilt that I made, along with the  envelope style pillows.  The pumpkin is a mod podge project that a friend and I did several years ago, and it picks up the animal minky print in the throw.  

 My late beloved made this box from old barn wood , and I always keep it on my dining room table, which I change out for the seasons.  It's a beautiful reminder of his last Christmas gift for me.

As we pass by my kitchen,  maybe I could coax you into a bowl of soup?  These darling bowls that I found at Home Goods are ones that I always look forward to using in the Fall season. The pumpkin centerpiece was found at Kohl's years ago and I used a garland formed into a circle to sit it on.  Tiny lights are entwined and a battery operated candle with a timer makes for a soft glow.  

My family room coffee table has some handmade, homespun pumpkins, M&M's for the grandkids, and an old crock filled with faux mums.  The little squirrel was a gift from a friend, and of course the pine cones add some Fall interest. 

Here's a quick peek at my Fall mantle, which always has the huge iron star in the middle.  The birch candles which came from Michael's,  were ones that I admired from Linda @ Life and Linda.  Linda was kind enough to tell me the source.  Don't we love getting ideas from our blogging friends? 

Before we head outside, you can see my cross stitched seasonal piece and my crocheted pumpkin, that I've placed on my washstand. This washstand was a piece that I dragged down the alley to our newlywed apartment,  from an antique shop when my hubby were first married, over 46 years ago.  

Before you leave, let's have an Inside-Out Pumpkin Muffin from King Arthur's #bakealongchallenge,  or if you'd rather,  I can wrap a couple of them up for you to take home. I made the Big Star Quilt several years ago and a friend stenciled the darling napkin.  The plates are from Wal Mart, several years ago, and my "Blessings" mug is from  Vee, from Stephanie's teacup/mug exchange several seasons ago.   My adorable teapot came from a thrift store in Ohio.  I'm crossing my fingers that my mum will last for several weeks

From my back gate, a big Thank you for visiting my Texas home on the Fall in Love with Texas Blog Tour!
