I found these adorable vintage thermoses and loved them as-is… but then I had the idea to give them a spooky-cute Jack-o’-lantern makeover for Halloween! 🎃

All I did was pull out my @cricut and cut a simple Jack-o’-lantern face from removable vinyl. Now I have two decorations in one! Display the plain side for your cozy fall decor, then simply turn them around when it’s time for Halloween decorating. It’s such an easy way to get more use out of your vintage finds!

This is one of my favorite easy Cricut Halloween DIYs because it takes just a few minutes, costs almost nothing, and gives thrifted decor a fun seasonal twist. If you love vintage Halloween decor, thrift flips, and budget-friendly Halloween decorating ideas, you have to try this one! Comment “Halloween” below and I’ll send you all the details! 

Would you leave them vintage… or are you team Jack-o’-lantern? 🎃🖤

If you’re looking for easy fall coffee table decor If you’re looking for easy fall coffee table decor ideas, here’s one simple swap that completely transformed my living room for the season! 🍂🤎

I’ve been working on styling my fall coffee table centerpiece, but something just felt off. The bright greenery mixed with my fall decor wasn’t giving the cozy autumn vibe I was going for.

Then I spotted these adorable fall leaf bud vases from Target’s Hearth & Hand collection, and I knew they were exactly what my centerpiece needed. Swapping out the greenery for these warm autumn leaves made such a huge difference, and now my coffee table finally feels cozy and fall-ready!

Sometimes it’s the smallest decorating changes that make the biggest impact. 🍁

Anyone else always miss the hair on their kneecaps Anyone else always miss the hair on their kneecaps no matter how carefully you shave?! 😂 Please tell me I’m not the only one!

I swear I can spend forever shaving my legs, think they’re perfectly smooth, and then the second I get out of the shower… boom. Hair still hanging out on my kneecaps. 🤦🏼‍♀️

At 33 years old, you’d think I’d have figured out how to shave my knees by now, but apparently not. 😂 Is there some secret shaving hack for smooth legs that everyone knows except me?!

Please tell me this is one of those universal girl problems and I’m not alone! Drop a 🙋🏼‍♀️ if your kneecaps somehow survive every shave. 😂

Poor girl is so determined to catch those bunnies… even though she’s never actually hunted anything besides a toy mouse. 😜 We’ll let her keep believing she’s the fiercest little huntress on the block.

I almost didn’t post this. After sharing all of ou I almost didn’t post this. After sharing all of our beach vacation content last week, it probably looked like we had the perfect trip. Smiles, sunsets, seafood, beach days, and we truly did make some amazing memories.
But social media rarely shows everything. What you didn’t see was my heart pounding every time I carried my beach bag down to the sand. Feeling so dizzy and nauseous that I had to run back to the condo just to throw up. Watching my heart rate skyrocket and my Apple Watch constantly sending high heart rate notifications, even while I was just sitting at dinner or relaxing on the couch. Imagine how high it gets when I’m actually doing something. You didn’t see my hands shaking so badly that putting on my makeup became a challenge.
Or the hours spent on the phone with doctors, insurance companies, and specialists trying to get referrals approved, MRIs scheduled, and answers that still haven’t come. After weeks of waiting, I finally got my brain, spine, and lower back MRIs scheduled, but they’re not until August 18. So now comes even more waiting and hoping for answers. 🙃
You didn’t see me checking my suitcase over and over, terrified I’d forget an important medication or something I might need while we were away.
And when we finally made it home? I ended up with what seemed like an allergic reaction, my right eye swelled shut, burned, and watered nonstop, my nose couldn’t decide if it wanted to be stuffed up or run like a faucet, and I topped it all off with a pounding migraine. This is the reality of living with an invisible illness.
You learn how to smile through the symptoms. You push through when you can. You rest when you have to. And you become really good at making things look “normal” even when your body is fighting you every step of the way. So if you’ve ever looked at someone’s vacation photos and thought they must have it all together, this is your reminder that you never know what someone is carrying behind the scenes.
And to my sweet hubby, thank you for giving me grace, slowing down when I need to, carrying the things I can’t, and reminding me that making memories together is what matters most ♥️

How to Style a Thanksgiving Tablescape

I’ve shared a lot of tablescapes in the past, but I think my Thanksgiving tablescape this year is one of my very favorites! I wanted to change it up a tad from my fall tablescape that I shared a little bit ago. I wanted something a little more elevated and fancy for our Thanksgiving table.

And I think I nailed it! I found most pieces from Belk and they all just came together so perfectly!

How to Style a Thanksgiving Tablescape
Shop this space below:

This post contains affiliate links. Click here to read my disclosure policy.

The Before

I started off with a blank slate. Just my usual placemats and galvanized metal chargers that I use. Then my white tray that I use as a centerpiece.

I emptied everything off of it first to get ready to style my Thanksgiving tablescape!

Amber Goblets

The very first thing I saw while shopping at Belk were these beautiful amber goblets. This is definitely what inspired my Thanksgiving tablescape to begin with. I just love the bubbly glass texture to them.

They almost look vintage and I think that is why I was so drawn to them. If you know me, then you know I am a sucker for anything vintage!

I think these amber goblets alone make the entire table feel more fancy. Don’t you just love fancy and festive glassware?! It’s not everyday that you can drink out of something so pretty!

That’s why I wanted something a little more sophisticated than my copper mugs I had on my fall tablescape.

Amber Glass on Thanksgiving Table
I just love it when the natural light shines through all this amber glass!

Amber Vase

To go along with the amber goblets, I saw a matching amber vase that I thought would be perfect in my centerpiece tray. They had two different sizes to choose from and I hesitated at first about which one to get.

I was originally thinking that the smaller one would look better, but at the end I changed my mind and grabbed the larger one.

And I am so glad I did because it is the perfect size!

Battery Operated Candles

Who doesn’t love a cozy Thanksgiving Tablescape?! That’s why I thought it would be fun to add in some battery operated candles.

You don’t have to worry about the mess of wax melting from candlesticks onto your table with these beauties!

I found some beautiful mango wood candlesticks too and thought these candles would work perfectly on them. I got a small and a large one and I love the varying heights it creates.

I had one candle leftover after placing them on the candlesticks and I thought why not add it inside the vase?!

This created a cozy, ambient glow, especially at night. And I love how having the candle inside the amber vase really highlights the amber colors.

Which, as you can see, that was my main goal in creating in this Thanksgiving tablescape. I also love how these candles come with a remote control so you can easily turn them off and on.

Cozy, Ambient Thanksgiving Centerpiece
Look at that cozy glow from the candles!

Festive Thanksgiving Plates

The next part of my Thanksgiving tablescape are these festive plates. I got a gold-rimmed dinner plate which I love because it’s not too over the top.

The gold can be carried into Christmas and even New Years as well. You know I love to get pieces that can easily be transitioned into other seasons and/or holidays.

My salad/dessert plates are a tad bit more Thanksgiving related. As they all say “Blessed, Thankful, Grateful, and Gather”.

But they also have a gold rim around them and beautiful gold leaf detailing as well. You could also break these out early and use them during the fall too if you wanted to get more life out of them this season.

Other Details

Another fun detail I added in is this beautiful jute table runner. This definitely can be used over and over again as it is a great neutral piece.

And it is the perfect length to lay under my tray that I always use for a centerpiece as well.

You may also remember these beautiful florals I used from my fall table this year as well. I decided to bring them on into my Thanksgiving tablescape too since they were the perfect color scheme.

Well, this is everything that I did for my Thanksgiving tablescape this year. I hope you enjoyed it and were inspired a little bit from it as well.

Are you hosting Thanksgiving this year? And if so, are you planning on doing a tablescape too?? I would love to hear all your ideas below!

If you’re looking for easy fall coffee table decor If you’re looking for easy fall coffee table decor ideas, here’s one simple swap that completely transformed my living room for the season! 🍂🤎

I’ve been working on styling my fall coffee table centerpiece, but something just felt off. The bright greenery mixed with my fall decor wasn’t giving the cozy autumn vibe I was going for.

Then I spotted these adorable fall leaf bud vases from Target’s Hearth & Hand collection, and I knew they were exactly what my centerpiece needed. Swapping out the greenery for these warm autumn leaves made such a huge difference, and now my coffee table finally feels cozy and fall-ready!

Sometimes it’s the smallest decorating changes that make the biggest impact. 🍁

Anyone else always miss the hair on their kneecaps Anyone else always miss the hair on their kneecaps no matter how carefully you shave?! 😂 Please tell me I’m not the only one!

I swear I can spend forever shaving my legs, think they’re perfectly smooth, and then the second I get out of the shower… boom. Hair still hanging out on my kneecaps. 🤦🏼‍♀️

At 33 years old, you’d think I’d have figured out how to shave my knees by now, but apparently not. 😂 Is there some secret shaving hack for smooth legs that everyone knows except me?!

Please tell me this is one of those universal girl problems and I’m not alone! Drop a 🙋🏼‍♀️ if your kneecaps somehow survive every shave. 😂

Little Miss Charlie was not impressed with those b Little Miss Charlie was not impressed with those bunnies hopping around her yard uninvited this weekend! 🐰😹

Watching my indoor cat go into full “hunter mode” over the rabbits outside the window had me laughing so hard! 😂 And can we talk about those little back leg kicks at the end? I lose it every single time! 🤣

Poor girl is so determined to catch those bunnies… even though she’s never actually hunted anything besides a toy mouse. 😜 We’ll let her keep believing she’s the fiercest little huntress on the block.

Tell me… does your cat chatter at birds, squirrels, or rabbits through the window too? 🐈

I almost didn’t post this. After sharing all of ou I almost didn’t post this. After sharing all of our beach vacation content last week, it probably looked like we had the perfect trip. Smiles, sunsets, seafood, beach days, and we truly did make some amazing memories.
But social media rarely shows everything. What you didn’t see was my heart pounding every time I carried my beach bag down to the sand. Feeling so dizzy and nauseous that I had to run back to the condo just to throw up. Watching my heart rate skyrocket and my Apple Watch constantly sending high heart rate notifications, even while I was just sitting at dinner or relaxing on the couch. Imagine how high it gets when I’m actually doing something. You didn’t see my hands shaking so badly that putting on my makeup became a challenge.
Or the hours spent on the phone with doctors, insurance companies, and specialists trying to get referrals approved, MRIs scheduled, and answers that still haven’t come. After weeks of waiting, I finally got my brain, spine, and lower back MRIs scheduled, but they’re not until August 18. So now comes even more waiting and hoping for answers. 🙃
You didn’t see me checking my suitcase over and over, terrified I’d forget an important medication or something I might need while we were away.
And when we finally made it home? I ended up with what seemed like an allergic reaction, my right eye swelled shut, burned, and watered nonstop, my nose couldn’t decide if it wanted to be stuffed up or run like a faucet, and I topped it all off with a pounding migraine. This is the reality of living with an invisible illness.
You learn how to smile through the symptoms. You push through when you can. You rest when you have to. And you become really good at making things look “normal” even when your body is fighting you every step of the way. So if you’ve ever looked at someone’s vacation photos and thought they must have it all together, this is your reminder that you never know what someone is carrying behind the scenes.
And to my sweet hubby, thank you for giving me grace, slowing down when I need to, carrying the things I can’t, and reminding me that making memories together is what matters most ♥️
Remember those viral Pottery Barn-inspired jack-o’ Remember those viral Pottery Barn-inspired jack-o’-lanterns everyone wanted a few Halloweens ago? 🎃 I couldn’t justify the price, so I made my own… and they’ve been my favorite DIY Halloween decorations ever since!

They’re so easy to make, budget-friendly, and honestly look just as cozy on a porch, fireplace mantel, or front steps. If you’re looking for high-end Halloween decor on a budget, this DIY is for you!
