1.) I just shared a fall capsule wardrobe that’s full of fun ideas to spice up your autumn, and make you feel wonderful. It’s all casual, comfortable, and completely affordable!

2.) BESTSELLERS: this darling cream table lamp with a linen shade, my rustic wood lanterns in 2 sizes, this must-have denim jacket, this adorable embroidered fall pillow cover, and this striped crewneck pullover that I just got in grey multi, and LOVE, plus it’s on sale! And the bestseller BY FAR is this cute ribbed hoodie from Walmart. Just $17.98!

3.) FAVORITE QUOTE: “The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind.” ~Caroline Myss

4.) INSPIRATION FOR ALL: if you are thinking about adding beadboard to your walls, this post is full of ideas. Take a tour of this peaceful Cape Porpoise cottage, check out this colorful home full of vintage finds in New South Wales, visit this small charming cottage filled with soft color and style. 

5.) I stumbled upon this Etsy shop that sells hand embroidered items. There are little floral felt corner bookmarks, darling felt name banners, embroidered hair bows, snap clips, and so much more. It’s not too early to think stocking stuffers!

6.) There are still weeks and weeks of comfortable weather ahead, so here are some ideas for sprucing up your outdoor space: I think this 3 piece chat set is perfect for a porch or patio, this battery powered rattan lantern will cast a warm glow, this oval galvanized tub would make a great planter (make sure to drill holes in the bottom), and here is a bigger, round version. This cuddle chair and round ottoman set looks so cozy, and these beautiful wind chimes come in both bronze and silver. 

7.) BAKE SOME BREAD FOR THE FREEZER: now is the time to bake some bread and freeze it to enjoy when autumn arrives. Our favorite is this so moist zucchini bread, but we also love this pumpkin bread, this super easy banana bread, and this applesauce bread. 

8.) These posts are getting harder to write! I don’t want to bombard you with links, but coming up with all the inspiration is a challenge. I would love your input. Are you wishing for something special that I can help you with? Do you wish I shared more shopping links? Do you want more seasonal decor ideas? Recipes? Please let me know in the comments or shoot me an email: [email protected]. Thank you!

9.) I haven’t started decorating for fall yet, but I’m so ready! I have a craft and a new drink recipe that I’m working on, but after that, bring it on! Enjoy the rest of the week!

1). Last weekend, I visited my favorite Amish greenhouse. And it was stocked up to the rafters with all kinds of beautiful fall plants. Over the years, I’ve found a very Easy Way To Create Designer Planters for outdoor spaces. I think this post will help you too!

2. Here are my favorite finds from Amazon this week.

3. I’ve been making Raw Apple Cake for decades! This cake is so easy to make and my very favorite fall recipe. I wanted to wait until September to feature it on WWW, but why wait? I know you will love it too!
