This week’s post will be rather short, mainly a new video and some pictures. At this stage of my life, writing a blog post and producing a video is a bit much for me. So I will share what I have and hope that you enjoy!
Recently, my husband and I hosted a church-wide fall party at our house. This party has become somewhat of an annual event, and our church family looks forward to it each year.
This year a kind friend from church came and helped me decorate. I forgot to take pictures of all her beautiful work, but I did create a short from the party. All the lovely leftover pumpkins and mums now grace my back patio, a pleasant memory of our fall party.
My dream is to have a farmhouse with a covered porch someday. Sometimes in the waiting for something different, I have missed blessings right under my nose. Sure, this patio gets rained on, but I am loving this seating area. I am learning to blossom where I am planted instead of grumbling about all the things I wish I had.
A few leftover butternut squash and darling mini pumpkins grace the top of my music cabinet.
The weeds and flowers I harvested to decorate for the party were too pretty to throw away, so I used them to make a simple, natural wreath. With a hot glue gun in hand, I made this wreath in about 15 minutes. As you can tell, I like to use natural elements in my home which whisper, rather than shout, “Fall is here.”
How are you decorating your space this fall? Happy decorating!

You always amaze me. Your artistic eye is something I wish I had.
First I want to thank you for having your church family into your personal space! I am truly blessed to be part of your church family!
I continue to see the beautiful world you have created inside and outside your home! The placement of items brings your space into the fall season. I haven't started to prepare my apartment for the fall season, I will soon place little items within my space to bring fall inside. Thank you for all you do for your church family!
Happy Fall Ashley stay safe and warm!
Always sending prayers
