Etsy Envy: November Finds

As I dined at one of my favorite local lunch spots this week, I spotted a wonderful little quote painted on the wall...

"The fondest memories are made when gathered around the table."

I thought this was so fitting for today's post! This month's Etsy Envy centers around the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday - the perfect time to enjoy a wonderfully delicious meal & fabulous conversation, all while being surrounded by those you love the most. =)

If you're hosting Thanksgiving at your place this year, here are a few fun items that are sure to make a lasting impression & set the tone for those fond family memories....

Personalized "Big Turkey" & "Lil Turkey" aprons by Heather Rogers Designs
Expecting to have {kid-sized} helping hands in your kitchen this year? Help them play the part of Thanksgiving "chefs" with these adorable personalized aprons!

Pudka Pod Potpourri by Huckleberrie Primitives Candle Co.

A subtle Country Harvest scent a great way to accent your home this autumn holiday. I've always found this scent to be so relaxing & inviting. I'm sure your guests will, as well! Plus, the lovely fall colors will blend well with your other decor.

Rustic Candlestick Holders by bragging bags
Finish off your perfect table decor with these chic, rustic candlestick holders! The colors are so neutral that you could even get away with leaving them out year-round. ;-) (At least in my household, anyway - brown hues seem to be my favorite color palette!)


Vintage-Inspired Place Cards by Ask Amy
Impress your guests by customizing each place setting with these pretty place cards. Complete with pretty fall foliage and autumn hues, they'll tie in well with the rest of your table decor.

Retro Tea Towel by Kitch Towel
....and if you're heading to someone ELSE'S house for the holiday, check out these fun & festive tea towels! Paired with your favorite soup mix or some homemade pumpkin bars, they make the perfect hostess gift. =)

Signs of the Season

Here in Indiana, the temperature is gradually beginning to drop – a tell-tale sign of the imminent fall season, which brings a smile to my face. =) The season of football, tailgating, colored leaves, and pumpkin-scented candles. What’s not to love?

Last night, I attended a reception for Perfect Wedding Guide’s Fall Issue – another tell-tale sign that the season is about to turn. {Be sure to pick up a copy for more info about local bridal shows, area vendors & fabulous wedding tips!}

While I was at the event, I had the opportunity to try out the photobooth from Clikz Photobooth here in Indy. {Can you imagine having one of these during your cocktail hour & reception? Total blast!} Not only does Clikz give each guest a printout of their 1-minute photo session, they also upload all of the photos for you to see after the event. Check out the photoshoot we shared with Lori from Boldly Chic Events…

It doesn’t get any more fabulous than that, folks. =) Enjoy your last few days of summer, because fall is just around the bend!

Fabulous in the Fall

First off, I'd like to note how much I love that fall weddings are becoming so popular!

I'm starting to see the requests ramp up from September, October & November brides, and I couldn't be more excited...their colors schemes and endless decor possibilities are so inspiring!

The soft and inviting look of rich reds, foliage greens and neutral tones just get me every time....
