FINALLY finished working on the quilt carved pumpkins today. Between creating the patterns, carving, and documenting everything that was a lot of work. But I’m absolutely obsessed with how they came out! Email subscribers you’ll get the tutorial and patterns in your inbox tomorrow morning!!!

There are a LOT of faux fall flowers out there, and let’s just say, they’re not all created equal.

I’m pretty picky when it comes to faux flowers because I want them to look as close to the real thing as possible…not perfect, overly bright, or obviously plastic.

So, I did a little browsing at Michaels and rounded up the best fall faux flowers that I would actually buy for our home (I did end up buying a few of the seeded eucalyptus stems yesterday).

I thought I would also share what I look for when I’m shopping for faux flowers:

- You want faux flowers to have muted, natural colors like you’d find in nature. You don’t want anything too bright or saturated. Those bright blue mums…skip them!
- Imperfect petals and leaves because real flowers are never perfectly shaped.
- Variation in color throughout the petals, leaves, and stems.
- Bendable stems so I can shape them and make an arrangement look more natural.
- Realistic leaves. Sometimes the flower looks great, but the leaves give it away, I hate that!
- Flowers that look good up close, not just from across the room.
- Stems I can use in more than one season (you know I love decor that can work for me year round).

And one of my biggest faux flower tricks is to not be afraid to bend, fluff, trim, or even remove a few leaves. Straight out of the store they can look a little stiff, but a few small tweaks can make a big difference. I’ve even been known to iron the leaves on a faux stem if they’re all crinkled to make them look more real!

If you had told me 2 years ago that Walmart would be one of my favorite places to shop for clothes, I most definitely would not have believed you.

And yet, here we are.

I love cute clothes. I love clothes that look expensive. I just don’t love the expensive price tag that comes along with them.

And Walmart has been absolutely killing it lately.

I’ve found so many pieces that I genuinely love, actually wear, and would have NEVER guessed came from Walmart.

Apparently this stage of my life is all about looking like you have champagne taste while paying Walmart prices.

*Note: I find most Walmart clothes to run true to size. I typically purchase either an extra small or small in tops, size 6 in bottoms, and a small or medium in the pjs. For reference, I’m 5’9” and about 140ish pounds.

This 2 pack of mini slow cookers are back in stock!!!! I love using these for dips, meatballs, and soups. If you want them, don’t wait. Usually once they sell out, they don’t bring them back until the following year.

Supplies you’ll need to make a dried hydrangea wreath.
