Mini "Pumpkin" Cheeseballs

These are amazing! I can say that because I ate my fair share of them at the party. Very easy to make and no cooking needed - which is just how I like it! These will be a hit at your Thanksgiving get-togethers!

Chocolate and Peanutbutter Acorns - from 50 Shades of Fall Pinterest Party

It's cold, rainy, Thursday and October.  Could there be any better reason to stay indoors today and make Peanutbutter Chocolate Acorns? We knew you'd agree.  Unless you're.... well, a little... squirrelly.

Mother Nature's Tablescape - from 50 Shades of Fall


Hello and Happy Weekend! 

Our feet haven't touched the ground since last Sunday's Pinterest party.  What a great day with fantastic people.

We promised to follow up on all of our "pinned" ideas so you can delight in creating them too. Today, we're going to talk about our Fall Tablescape.

I always love Fall, but there's something exceptionally special about THIS Fall and all its glorious colors.  Is it just me -  or has the drought brought upon the most amazing Fall changing of the leaves ever?  Thank you, Mother Nature.

Since that Mother Nature seems to know her stuff, we took a few cues from her when it came to tablescaping for our 50 Shades of Fall Pinterest Party.  We used her very own fruits, colors and textures to build a natural, casually elegant tablescape.

Stop and Taste the Lemonade

Well helloooo September! Fancy meeting you here at White Street Market where time flies faster than a Midwestern summer.

Gosh, the end of summer is bittersweet for us Illinoisans. Yes, we love our Fall, but oh, that Summer! She is soooo sweet with her flip flops, swimming pools and lemonade stands. I'm not sure anything says “summer” quite like a cluster of sweaty kids passing a long summer’s day selling lemonade from a sidewalk.

Vintage Dresser Makeover

Welcome to our Monday Makeover!

Tonight, we're featuring one of my favorite redo's to date. This vintage dresser had me at hello :)>. With it's rounded front, fluted sides, and keyholes, I knew it had so much potential. The drawers were all in fabulous shape so the only real "fixing" I did was to the feet. They had some major chunks out of them, so I did a couple of rounds of wood filler and sanding, and they were as good as new!
