A Few Things Here and There

Here is our new kitchen faucet…we absolutely love it! 

 

It almost makes me want to do the dishes!  This was a great, quick 30 minute project for my husband and I, to do together.  I already had changed faucets before but I wanted to let my husband be involved since he really enjoys learning new things.

 This past Friday our fair started so I have my hands full since the kids have off school!  Once the fair is completed (September 29) I will have a post on some of our favorite things from it.  To date we’ve been consuming tons of apple dumpling and cider!  Oh and my new *favorite*…Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream.  That is heavenly, really tastes like a real pie and “screams” fall time!

Now that it is starting to feel like fall time, we are starting to get into the mood to decorate for fall.  I had already started some on our porch (as seen in this post).  We made a few ‘fall time’ purchases at the fair, which I will showcase at a later date.

Here is a free quote printable that I typed up.  I saw it somewhere else but did not like how it was being used with all dark colors.  You can find it here!

  

Hope you enjoy!!!

The Lazy Summer Days

Not too much to say about the crafting front after the past few days- since we just got back from the beach.  We go to the same place every year and even stay in the same condo-room!  Kind of funny I think but it is something that we enjoy.  Eating at the ‘normal’ places, which is neat how we made this a yearly tradition for the 5^th year in a row.  The much dreaded 5 hour ride is well worth it in the end!  This is the view from our ‘every year balcony’…

This week may end up being a trying week for us, since we are preparing for the floor installation.  After all this ‘mayhem’ is done with, I will definitely be back on the prowl for inexpensive crafts to do.  My husband always asks me how come when I want to do something it always involves $, so I think the next craft I do is going to entail reusing old things.

I must finish my cleaning and make-shift decorating of my porch today.  Here is what I got done so far:

What I've done so far on the porch

The hats that are on our bistro table (3 of them), I am going to hang them up on our empty wall on the porch.  Under the bistro table there is this awesome wire bowl that I found in an attic and was planning on spray painting it silver and using it as a catchall for our kids outside toys!

Hope you enjoy!
