~Fall Inspiration and Simple & Sweet Fridays #127~

I know I'm thinking about Fall early,

but our pumpkins our growing in the garden and it makes me think of

~FALL~

I just bought the new issue of 

The Country Journal. 

They had a beautiful Fall tablescape in it and

it inspired me to create a little Autumn too!

I used some burlap landscape to use as a tablecloth.

I love the Rustic feel to it.

I added some sunflowers for some color.

I also added some Bee Skeps, Pumpkins and Candles.

I used my dishes from William Sonoma.

The French script on it and Roosters are my favorite for a 

Fall Tablescape.

Some pretty etched glassed I found at Home Goods and 

orange pumpkin dessert plates add more Autumn color.

Looking forward to dining outside for Fall.

I wanted to share with you our chickens 

are laying about 2 eggs per day so far.

We named the dark one,

Dora, the Explorer because she loves to jump up on our table and say hello.  The blonde is Lucy Lou, because she reminds me of a Charlie's Angel. Always doing different stunts.

They're a wonderful addition to our family.

I'm getting used to getting up at 6am to open up their cage.

With a cup of coffee, it starts my day with a smile.

~Garden Plates and Simple & Sweet Fridays #75~

I've been wanting to add some china plates to the garden.

 I ran across some chipped and miss-matched plates my mother had left me. 

I knew she would love this idea using them in the garden as markers.

I used a Deco Color marker. 

Hopefully it was last, at least through the summer.

Then I recycled some old wood stakes from a barrel.

Stan helped me drill holes in the plates.

Did I ever tell you I have the best husband.

Of course, we needed a thyme marker.

I wanted to treat Stan with dessert for helping me make the garden plates. 

I love any recipe using filo dough. I made him a

 Cherry and Almond Strudel.

Had to share my new lavender with you.

So pretty!

Happy Thursday everyone!

Surprise! Our New Blog!

Carly surprised us again with a new blog!  She believed it would be a great way to share all of our home ideas and crafts on a separate blog.  She thought, "Rooted in Thyme" would be for gardening and "Thyme for Home" would be for homemade projects.  Looking forward to posting creative ideas.
