Vintage Inspired Christmas

December 22, 2020 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

Today I am going to wrap up my vintage inspired Christmas home tour with a glimpse into the kitchen and sunroom and also share my version of the DIY paper stars that are making their rounds on Instagram. So here we go!

I have several vintage milk glass Christmas bulbs that I place into vintage or decorative bowls throughout the house.

I’m always looking for these when I am out thrift shopping. If I weren’t so afraid of fire, I would love to see them all lit up but I’ll play it safe and enjoy them scattered about the house in decorative bowls.

I had mentioned in my previous post about my moms Putz Christmas village that she would place under the tree. She always created such a magical Christmas village scene. It’s one of my favorite memories of Christmas.

This year a sweet friend sent me 4 Putz Village pieces. It brought me to tears. I placed mine on my tree in the sunroom where the light from the tree lights up the dainty little houses. Love, love, love them!

Vintage Putz House

Last year right before Christmas, I stopped by a thrift shop and they were selling all their Christmas items for $5 a bag. You could stuff an entire bag for $5. I found a box full of antique candle clips, 54 to be exact. I was so excited to use them this year. I found battery operated candles on Amazon that fit the tiny clips perfectly. I added them to the sunroom tree as well as the mantle in the office where we hang our stockings.

Antique Candle Clips
We use the same stockings and I love pulling them out year after year.

I decorate a pencil tree in the kitchen and use the same ornaments year after year. Most of them come from our travels and all the handmade ornaments that they boys have made through the years. The construction paper ornaments have mostly faded over time but they are still my most treasured ornaments.

I also add my DIY Christmas sign over the cooktop every year and a few other Christmas touches to make it festive.

My version of the Christmas Trees for Sale sign. I love how my DIY sign turned out.
This is a photo from a few years ago but this is where the sign goes every year. It is usually the first thing I do on December 1st.

I don’t know if you scroll Instagram like I do but it seems everyone is making the DIY stars with paper bags and some with paper. I decided to give it a try. It was a quick and simple project. Can you tell I have a lot of extra time on my hands since I haven’t been going anywhere?

I would like to get some pictures of the outside tomorrow or maybe a night time tour. I love when the house is aglow with all the white lights and candles lit. I am hoping to get my youngest to help me with that since he is way more tech savvy them me but not too sure that will happen. So for now, I will say good night and thank you for stopping by my little corner of the world! Merry Christmas!

Decking the Halls with Vintage Charm

December 21, 2020 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

With everything going on in the world, and this Christmas looking different for everyone, I was excited to decorate for the season. I had to laugh when my husband asked me if I was still planning on getting out all the decorations this year because we wouldn’t be having any out of town guests. I kind of felt like he didn’t even know me… at all! I enjoy every little thing about the Holiday season and this year more than any I feel like we could all use a little more twinkling lights and sparkling joy. A lot of people like to decorate with new items and different themes each year but I like decking the halls with vintage charm, pulling out the old tried and true vintage, it holds all the special memories of Christmas past which I think we are all thinking about and craving right now.

I do have a few new to me items that I was able to add to my collection. I purchased another vintage Santa Blow Mold that I added to the side porch. A dear friend sent me vintage putz houses just like the ones my mom would place under the Christmas tree every year. I added them to our sunroom tree which is where I spend most of my time cuddle up on the couch and watching Hallmark. I also purchased a hand lettered doormat from Foxy Fonts thats adds such charm to our entranceway. Other than that, I pretty much just stick with what I have.

So with all that being said, I think the rest of this post will be mainly pictures with a few comments sprinkled in. I hope you enjoy!

The front door leads us into the foyer with the stairway dressed with garland and red and white ribbon.
Off the foyer, you can see directly into the family room which holds our main tree. It is the only real tree in the house. I failed to mention, we have 7 tress of all shapes and sizes (and my husband actually thought I was going to forego the usual Holiday decorating).
Our family room tree is decorated with homemade and vintage ornaments.

The vintage chair in the corner of the dining room is reupholstered with a drop cloth and festooned with a gold bell and a wreath surrounded by a vintage basket filled with gifts.

Vintage metal figurines on the sideboard create a charming vignette.
A simple centerpiece on the dining room table includes a mini tree on a riser, thrifted candle holders and a thrifted dough bowl filled with greenery and gold bulbs.
Adding a festive wreath to a corner chair in the dining room gives your eye a place to rest when scanning the room.
The Home Office Mantle is adorned with greenery, candles and our stockings.
We use the same stockings and I love pulling them out year after year. They hold so many memories.


I think I’m going to wrap this up here today. So far I’ve covered the foyer, parts of the family room, dining room and home office. Come back tomorrow and I’ll share the sunroom, kitchen and bits of the master bedroom and possibly the outside if I can get some decent pictures.

I hope in this time of chaos that we are going through that the Christmas season brings you peace, hope and happiness.

Until Next Time,

Christmas Home Tour 2019

December 22, 2019 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

The trees are trimmed, the gifts are wrapped, the treats are made and all the Hallmark movies have been watched multiple times. Since I have spent most of my time lounging and watching countdown to Christmas nonstop, I have to do one big home tour this year instead of room by room. Next year my friends, I will be more productive! Until then, let the tour begin.

We also made a video tour which you can check out here.

The Sunroom

Let’s start in the sunroom which is where I have spent the majority of my time this past month. Yes, you guessed it, this is where the movie watching occurs.

A few months ago, I switched out the carpet and the curtains. I like this look so much better than the blue that was in here. It wouldn’t be a lie if I told you I had Christmas in mind when I made the switch.

Look at this vintage light up Santa that my dear friend sent me this year. I am obsessed with him. I finished off this look with a mini flocked tree and a tea light candle in a decorative jar. This is my favorite vignette this year.

Moving on to the Family Room

Most of my decor remains the same from year to year. The only new addition is the tree skirt that I got on sale after Christmas last year from Magnolia Market.

Oops, I forgot…the skates are new to me this year as well.

Next we will head into the dining room.

I kept this room pretty much the same as last year. I did add the basket with greenery and red berries. I love my stamped spoons with the 12 Days of Christmas.

Next, we will head upstairs.

This is the sitting room off of our Master Bedroom. I love this little space. Notice the vintage stockings on the ladder. I picked these up on ETSY last year. They remind me off the ones my siblings and parents had when we were growing up.

When my son moved out, I redecorated his room. We added this vintage mantle that used to be at our island home. It’s not quite finished but I love it.

Here’s a quick peek into my youngest son’s room. It is so cute and festive.

I hope you enjoyed this quick tour into our home. Merry Christmas enjoy the Holiday Season.

Until Next Time,

Sharing Autumn Leaves and Pumpkins, please

November 3, 2019 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

…until Thanksgiving that is!

I am a little late to the Autumn/Fall game but I thought I would share a few spaces with you that are still dressed in all their orange glory.  Look, I love Christmas as much if not more than most.  I’ll admit, with most of my home decor projects, I always have Christmas in the back of my brain somewhere. For example, when I buy new to me furniture from Goodwill, it’s on my mind, Will my tree still fit in the room? Will the new lamps look good with the Christmas tree? Will that color look awful at Christmas time? You get the idea.  Now, having said all that, I still wait until after Thanksgiving to start decorating.  So in the meantime, I hope you enjoy my Fall pics while the rest of Pinterest and Instagram are full of snowy white, beautiful Christmas trees with twinkle lights.  Full disclosure, I am all over the Hallmark Countdown to Christmas though! Now on to Fall decor which will stay up until after the Thanksgiving turkey has been consumed.

Copper ladles bring Fall Touches

First up, these copper ladles I found at a consignment shop. I knew if I got them, I was going to add them to the hooks on the vintage buffet in the dining room. It’s the things that I go back and forth on buying that  end up being my favorite finds every. single. time.  I will leave these up year round.  I like the copper touches in the dining room.

I added white pumpkins and greenery to my dough bowl.

I added a few Fall touches to my dough bowl that I’ve had for many years which happens to be a consignment shop find as well.  Another budget friendly item I used in my Autumn decor is the white pumpkins that I picked up at the Dollar Store.  Although, they did not look like that when I found them.

Faux pumpkins from the Dollar Store

(Dollar Store Pumpkin)

The first thing I did to these faux pumpkins was remove the fake flowers and berries.  I did save the stems. I gave them I quick coat of chalk paint that was completely dried out. (Just add water and stir, stir, stir) I reattached the stems and added some Spanish Moss that I had on hand from Michaels.

Sharing Fall Ideas through Thanksgiving

A basket full of pumpkins!

The basket was another Goodwill find that I absolutely did not need. When I came home from my Goodwill trip the hubs was home and I was not about to let him see me carrying yet another basket into the house so I hurried up and hung it across the dining room chair. Quite honestly, I forgot the thing was hanging there hiding from my hubs since we only use the dining room 3 times a year at best. So that is how the Goodwill basket came to rest in the dining room.  I completed the look by adding some pumpkins! (Side Note…I did completely scrub the basket with hot soapy water and let it dry outside.  I had a four hour window to get it done one day while said hubs was golfing)  I am not sure what our Thanksgiving plans are yet but if I do cook and we have dinner in the dining room, I’ll let you know if the hubs notices the basket!

Dried gourds and leaves in a basket for Fall

Hmmm, another basket that has been hanging out in the dining room.

Mini pumpkins in my office

I scattered mini pumpkins throughout the house.  I switch things up a bit from year to year but not too much.  I like the memories associated with all my pieces especially now that I have zero trick or treaters in the house.  It brings back memories of when the boys were so excited to get out there and run door to door.

You can see my post from past years here and here. In the last link, you can see my DIY sign for Fall that I used again this year.  I also added my Goodwill pumpkin candy dish.  Other than that I kept the kitchen relatively  simple by adding candles and mini pumpkins to my tiered trays.

Goodwill pumpkin candy Dish

Off the back porch, I added smaller mums and mini pumpkins to my green plant stand.  Another secondhand find.  This one comes from my home town which makes me love it even more.

Vintage plants stand decorated with the colors of Fall

Well, that’s all I have to share of Autumn leaves and pumpkins (and a few hidden baskets). Coming later this week, I will share my updated sunroom space. Whether you are decorating with pumpkins or Christmas trees, I hope you have a great week.

Until Next Time,

Dressing Up my Pantry with a Vintage Door

July 14, 2019 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

Where has this summer gone?  In less than a week, we are going to be seeing back to school ads and the bus stop schedule. I’m not ready!  It seems like only last week I shared my pantry organization.  It’s hard to believe that was back in January. Well, today I am sharing how I dressed up my newly organized pantry with a vintage door.  Not going to lie, I love it!

Back in January when I organized my pantry, I knew that I wanted a vintage half lite door.  Trying to find the right door was a bit more difficult than I expected. After months of looking, I finally found one in rough shape, a little too wide and about 4 inches too short.  Not to mention the smell!

Vintage half lite door

I absolutely love this door.  It was definitely a labor of love getting her to where she needed to be. It took a lot of stripping and sanding and painting but she was worth it, oh so worth it!

Vintage Pantry Door

I actually didn’t mind the stripping process.  Once I got the hang of it, I found it to be quite relaxing. I used orange CitriStrip that I had on hand.  I painted on a thick coat of the CitriStrip then covered it with plastic wrap and let it sit for 24 hours.  After 24 hours, I was able to scrape off the 4 different layers of paint. Then I flipped the door over and repeated the process.

My husband trimmed the door down an inch and a half on each side and we had to add four inches to the top.  We added to the top of the door so the bottom still lined up with the door trim.  We planed down a piece of wood to match the thickness of the door.  We drilled three holes in the 4 inch piece of wood and the top of the door.  We attached the extra piece of wood to the door with a dowel and wood glue.  Surprisingly, it was easier than I had anticipated and the fit is seamless.

I originally wanted to keep the door with the raw wood but I knew I wouldn’t be able to match the new wood to the old door. At this point, I was getting so excited to finish it off and had to pace myself on the painting.  I typically rush the painting process so I can finish a project but this time I left myself plenty of time to let the paint dry between the coats.

Vintage half lite door

I had to order a new door knob because the original knob and lock set was missing several pieces. Luckily, I was able to find an exact match here. I adore the ceramic knobs.

We have managed to keep the pantry organized since January and the glass now keeps me motivated to keep up the neatness! I love the finished look and now I’m on the hunt for a bubble glass door for my cleaning closet.

Vintage Pantry Door

I hope you all are enjoying your summer.  FYI, I am watching Christmas in July on Hallmark as I type this.  It is a true obsession and I do not use that word lightly!

To my dad, good luck tomorrow. I love you and will see you week after next! XOXOXO

Until Next Time,

The Home Holiday Tour Continues

December 20, 2018 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

Today wraps up my Holiday Home Tour with a peek into my sitting room right off of the master bedroom. This is a small space with soaring ceiling. Even with the tall ceilings, it’s cozy and warm and I am usually the only one that uses it which is perfectly fine with me. Chick flicks, HGTV, Bravo and Hallmark on repeat all day every day. This is definitely a no news zone!

  Master bedroom sitting room dressed for Christmas

Holiday Home Tour

I’m still loving the shiplap on the fireplace wall.  It really helps break up the deep, dark navy walls.  The mantel is dressed with a Christmas swag that is made of metal and I adore it not only because it is fabulous but it was a gift from my sweet friend who knows me so well! I think of her every time I walk into this space!

 Switching up the look of the glass jars for each season is a quick and easy decor change. The frosted pine cone branches that I used are from Michaels. It’s a simple change but makes the space look new each time I change it out.  The wooden NOEL letters were moved up to mantle last year. They are placed in a vintage chicken feeder. I’m keeping them in my space so I don’t have to walk into the kitchen and see LEON spelled out from an unknown prankster.

My flocked Christmas Tree was purchased from Walmart a few years back and I have to say it is one of my favorites.  It is really flocked nicely and it’s a breeze to put together.  It is so lightweight and easy to handle.  I picked up another tree from Walmart last year for our sunroom and it is also a great tree.  For about $120, the quality is topnotch!

Sitting Room Home Tour

A vintage Bell Atlantic wooden ladder decked out with vintage Christmas stocking.

I’ve shared my vintage Bell Atlantic ladder before and I bought it specifically with Christmas in mind. I knew that I wanted to hang vintage stocking from it. She was a bit rough when I bought her and some doubted my purchase but she cleaned up nicely! Love, love, love it!

I ordered the vintage stockings from ebay because they remind me of the ones my mom, dad and  brothers had growing up. They even have a glitter mom and dad glued on them just like my mom did with all of ours.  I am thinking of stringing some Christmas lights on the ladder, I still have 5 days to do it, right? Hmmm, maybe I should hang some lights tomorrow!

I wish that time would slow down so we could just sit back and enjoy the season. I do like the hustle and bustle of the Holidays but I am ready to slow down for a bit! I am officially done wrapping and will do some more baking over the weekend which I enjoy doing.  Fingers crossed that my ebay package arrives tomorrow. It’s been delayed twice.  I cannot wait for it to come!  I have become completely obsessed with tracking it! I will post a picture of it on Instagram if it ever shows up on my doorstep! It was a total impulse buy and I cannot wait to share it with you in all its vintage glory!

I hope you all are enjoying the season with family and friends and have some time to take it all in this weekend before the chubby man in red flies through the sky on Monday night!

Until Next Time,

Holiday Home Tour

December 16, 2018 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

Only nine more days until Christmas and I am finally posting  part of our Holiday Home Tour.  I really do not switch things up too much from year to year.  I like the traditions we have in place and the memories we have created but I do like to add a few new decor items whether they are DIY projects or new to me items.  Today I am sharing our dining room and my home office. With that said, sit back and enjoy our Holiday Home Tour. I am so happy you are here!

Home Office Holiday Home Tour

DIY 25 sign

The sign is a new addition this year. I was inspired by Heather Tartaglia from The Morning House.  I made this DIY just like all of my other signs that you can check out here and here. I like the view into the sunroom from my office.

Pencil tree with DIY Braided

I bought this pencil tree at Michaels a few years ago for a little over $30.  I flocked it last year with this product I bought on amazon.  I used the same flock on the DIY star topper that I made from twigs gathered from our yard. It was a quick and easy project that I will try to do a mini tutorial on later this week.  The braided garland is also another DIY project that was inspired by Erin@CottonStem.  The last new item in my office is the tree collar that I ordered from Home Depot. I really like this tree collar because it is adjustable, you can make it larger or smaller and it latches with a hook and chain.

Here's an up close view of the braided garland.

Here’s a close up of my DIY braided garland.  I picked up my chunky yarn at Michaels and used my 40% off coupon so it ended up being a little over 17$.  I love this new addition to the tree! Thanks Erin for the great idea!

Dining Room Christmas Holiday Tour

O.k.we are switching gears and heading into the dining room.   I added a few touches of Christmas sprinkled throughout the room. Here are a two of my favorites.

A view into my Office at Christmas time.

I use my bread bowl as a center piece by adding some greenery with red glass beads and some gold ornaments.  I like the glimpse of the Office Christmas tree you can see peaking around the corner.

Large vintage copper bowl with a vintage table cloth on the buffet table

 This buffet is my absolute favorite piece of furniture in the entire house! I’m a bit obsessed with it to say the least.  I picked up the vintage table-cloth over the summer when I was home junking with my mama. I actually bought it in the vintage store that used to be our old apartment. You can read about that here.   I remember mom used to have one like this that she used for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day dinner. I like to think that this was actually hers.  I’m always on the lookout for vintage Christmas textiles. I guess it just reminds me of Christmas time from my past. I hope my boys will one day look back at our traditions and pass some of them on to their future families.

I hope you enjoyed this small little glimpse into our Holiday Home Tour.  I will be back tomorrow with a mini tour of our Kitchen and Family Room and end the last home tour on Tuesday with our Sitting Room Christmas decor.  Thanks for stopping by to visit us!

Until Next Time,

Cozy Christmas Home Tour

December 21, 2017 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

Hi everyone! I am back to share another peek into our Christmas Home.  Other than the kitchen, the rooms I am sharing are where I spend most of my time.  Today, you will see our sunroom and our sitting room off of the master bedroom. The sitting room is the coziest room in the house. Even though it is small, I love having a Christmas tree in here.   So let’s get started in the sitting room.

Cozy Christmas Home Tour

I love the vintage feeder. I added some greenery and the red letters to add a pop of color.

I love this sign above the bed! You can see how I made it here and here.  The process is the same.

I didn’t get around to sharing the faux fireplace my husband built for our youngest but I wanted to show you how cute it is decked out for Christmas.  I will post the design and build in a separate post.

Cozy Christmas Home Tour

Next, I will show you the sunroom.  This is where we hang out the most but Santa leaves the gifts under the tree in the Family room which you can see here.

Flocked Christmas Tree from Walmart

I ordered this tree from Walmart.  It is heavily flocked and kind of sparse looking which I adore. I forgot to mention but the tree in the sitting room is also from Walmart.  Both of them were CHEAP!

Mini Christmas tree with a vintage table cloth for a tree skirt

A few years back my husband came home with a little table top tree and we have continued with that tradition.  I think it is so cute.  The tree skirt is actually a vintage table-cloth that I picked up in Florida several years ago.  It reminds me of one my mom used to have. I think decorating for Christmas brings back so many happy memories and that’s why I enjoy it so much.

You can see a glimpse into my office and the foyer in the picture above.  My goal for tomorrow is to do a final Christmas Tour which will include my office and the foyer.  I finished my baking again today since someone pretty much wiped out everything I have baked up until this point and I have already decided I am on a break from the gym until January so I should be able to do a final post.  I say should just in case I get sucked into the Hallmark Channel again.

Until Next Time,

Christmas Home Tour part 2

December 19, 2017 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

Yes, this was supposed to go up on Sunday but I am truly obsessed with the Hallmark Channel at the moment.  I cannot get enough of it hence the late post and now the need to double up on the rest of my room tours.  So today will be both the kitchen and the dining room Christmas tours.  On a positive note, most of my wrapping is done as well as my baking!

O.k. let’s get started in the kitchen.  Most of my kitchen has remained the same with just a few new items to share.

My white kitchen decked out for Christmas with pops of red.

Christmas Tree with Tree Collar

The banner hanging in the window is new this year.  I picked it up at our local barn show.  It is reminiscent of a vintage banner that’s why I love it.

I love my husband's vintage red truck decked out for the holidays.

My husband’s red truck is an oldie but a favorite, especially with the wreath on the bumper and a Christmas tree in the back of the truck.

Goodwill finds and a little something vintage

This little ceramic camper is new for this years decor.  I picked it up at Goodwill last year after Christmas.  I adore this piece and it will always remind me of the sweet woman that bought it for me. I was strolling around Goodwill after Christmas last year and they had several pretty Santa mugs and these little campers.  So I was scooping them up and putting them in my cart and when the sweetest woman came up to me and we starting chatting about what I was going to do with them.  I told her I would keep a few for myself and the rest I would fill with candy,  it would make a great hostess or teacher gift. So she started loading her cart up and thanked me for the idea. When I went to pay, the kind woman had already paid for my purchases and had already left.

The Santa beside the camper is a vintage napkin holder that I have had for a while. I picked it up at our local antique shop.

Christmas Kitchen with Pops of Red

Christmas Home Tour

Ok, now onto the dining room.  We will have our Christmas Eve dinner in here as well as our Christmas Day Brunch.

A dining room dressed for Christmas.

I absolutely love all the pops of red this year in our Christmas decor.

A dough bowl filled with greenery and shiny gold Christmas ornaments for a simple centerpiece.

I will set the dining room table on the 23rd for our Christmas Eve dinner.  I will do an instagram story of the table once it’s complete. I picked up some new napkins on etsy that are super cute. I will probably use my vintage Christmas Ironstone for Brunch and my holly china on Christmas Eve.

Have yourself a Merry little Christmas DIY sign in the dining room.

I made this sign last year.  You can read about it here.

Tomorrow, if I don’t get sucked into the Hallmark Channel again, I will do a post on a few more rooms.  Hopefully, I will be caught up before Christmas Eve.  Thanks for stopping by…

Until Next Time,

Why I Like Shopping at the Vintage Market

September 18, 2016 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

Last weekend I stopped by a local Vintage Market Place called GypsyFaire.  A friend had mentioned it to me, so I decided to check it out with my husband.  It was awesome!  I cannot believe I have never been and it is literally 15 minute away.

I love shopping at Vintage Markets. I always walk away with something unique.

You all know that I love shopping vintage and consignment shops and places like this is one of the reasons why I like shopping at Vintage Markets. It had so many unique pieces.  I love when you can find pieces that are different, one of a kind pieces and simply put… Fabulous.  I could have spent hours walking through the market but I had my husband with me. Next time, it will be a girls trip.  Even though it was a quick walk thru of the market, it was very successful!

I have been on the lookout for a nice fireplace tool set and finally found one for our outdoor fireplace. It is a nice heavy cast iron set. This piece will be perfect outside.

Fireplace Tools

I have been on the lookout for a set like this one for a long time.  We have an outdoor fireplace that we like to use but every time we would have a nice fire roaring, the person manning the fire would always use a stick to poke around at the logs. Not that there is anything wrong with that but I guess I was feeling nostalgic.  My dad always used a fireplace tool set to poke at the fire when I was younger.  I feel like the older I become, the more I want pieces of my childhood in my home.

I have found many sets at Goodwill and a few at some antique shops. They were either too expensive or not conducive to the outdoors. The fireplace tool set we found at the Gypsy Faire is solid forged iron.  It was so heavy, I had trouble lifting it.  This is perfect for the elements outside.  I won’t have to worry about it being knocked over every time the wind blows and I won’t have to watch the males in this household poking the burning logs with a twig ever again!

So once we found the fabulous fireplace set, which I might add was about 6 minutes into the market, my hubs was quickly heading to the check out line. He kindly said I could continue looking around but I kind of felt the pressure to move it along.

Finding Unique Pieces

I did manage to snag two other pieces that I adore. First up is this vintage door knob photo holder.

I love this vintage door knob that has been repurposed into a lovely photo holder.

Isn’t this piece delightful?  I think it is absolutely charming! My favorite thing at the moment is displaying snapshots throughout the house in unique little holders and this one is spot on…perfection.

Vintage Door Knobs

As my husband was moving rapidly to the front of the check out line, I was able to scoop up something I had had my eye on since we first walked into the market.  I don’t know about you but sometimes it is hard for me to shop for seasonal items (except Christmas items) when it seems to early in the season for it. Case in point…this pumpkin.

I am loving this decorative rusty metal pumpkin candle holder.

I loved it when I first saw it but it was 98 degrees outside, I was sweating like I had just completed an intense workout (which I had not) and it was the first weekend in September.  I know Pinterest has been full of pumpkins and Autumn Home tours lately but I think I will wait until October or at least the last week of September!

As my husband inched closer and closer to the front of the line, I thought last chance and I grabbed it! I am so happy that I did.  This rusty pumpkin will fit in quite nicely in my home this Fall.

The GypsyFaire opens the first weekend of each month.  I am sure this trip was the first of many to come.

Until Next Time,
