Congrats again Jessica!

I’m celebrating the launch of some adorable Fall – Halloween – Thanksgiving products in my new Etsy pop-up shop with a special Pin it to Win it contest!

Fall is my most favorite season of all – the decorations, the parties, the weather – and I love going through Pinterest to find new ideas. Won’t you share with me some of your favorite ideas for the autumn season and also let me know what your favorite product is from the newly launched Sweet Tea & Lemonade shop?  Here are all the details of the contest that is open now through September 29.

Good Luck! I can’t wait to see what y’all come up with! Want to take a peek at what I’ve pinned so far for Fall? See my Fall Fun Pinterest board here.

I’m excited to announce the Fall edition of my pop-up shop is now open on Etsy.com!

I’ve stocked my Etsy shop full of adorable custom plates and platters that can be personalized to your family. These Halloween & Thanksgiving keepsakes will be fun to use year after year.

A fun and cheerful Halloween delight for your favorite ghouls and goblins! Dress up your table this Fall with this custom personalized melamine plate in chevron orange pattern with an adorably spooky haunted house!

This 10″ melamine plate can be customized with either a first name or a family name. Example: “Addyson” or “The Smith Family”. The message “Happy Halloween!” will be printed above the name. This will be a great gift and keepsake to use each year!

Plates + Platters + cuteness overload! = Oh my!

My sweet friend Cyn Kain was here last week to capture all of the Fall product festivities (not to mention photograph ALL of the everyday products that are launching on my birthday, October 4th!!). Get excited friends, it’s going to be amazing! I can hardly wait to share.

This little black cat Halloween plate is a favorite! I love the modern and bold black & white pattern. “No tricks, just treats!” is printed underneath the personalized name. This is also available in a platter design.

Halloween designs are available for order for a limited time only through October 17, 2013.

And our next favorite holiday on the calendar : Thanksgiving!

Gobble! Gobble! This adorable little owl is dressed up in Thanksgiving’s favorite mascot. What a fantastic addition to your Thanksgiving children’s table this Fall with a custom personalized melamine plate in harvest pattern with a super sweet turkey.

As with all of these, we want you to receive and enjoy your plates and platters as soon as possible, so you will NOT receive a proof of customization prior to production. Simply include the exact spelling and capitalization for how you would like your plate customized in the “notes to seller” section at Etsy checkout, and we will print exactly as you type it.

Thanksgiving designs are available for order for a limited time only through November 5, 2012.

Thanks so much for your kind words and support of these Fall designs. They are only a fraction of the goodness that is to come in just a few short weeks when the official Sweet Tea & Lemonade shop opens!

Well, my favorite season has come and gone, but I'd still like to share a few glimpses around the house of Fall. I know I say it all the time, but living in the South, particularly Nashville, with four seasons is spectacular! Every month holds a new surprise when you walk out the front door. Always something to be excited about next…in October it was the beautiful leaves outside and in our own backyard.

Couldn't resist doing a little photo shoot on the front porch! My two favorite pumpkins. (see Daddy in the reflection?) :)

And around the house….

My favorite thing is decorating the mantle. All the fall leaves really warm the room up! The different orange glass bottles are from Home Goods and the felt banner I picked up on clearance at Target last year after Halloween. The Pottery Barn clear glass vase I use all the time – I just switch out the branches and flowers depending on the time of year. I have a feeling this won't be here for much longer when Colin is up and about very soon….! :)

Front entry table…little straw owl (missing his "Boo!" sign)…

Mmmm pumpkin scented candles! And I love these little seed pods that look just like mini dried pumpkins. A great find at Target.

Spooky skeleton in the dining room.

Another shot of the foyer table.

And the big day…Halloween! Colin's first! He made it to one house (our neighbors) for trick or treating.

Hope you enjoyed our little Fall fest. Now back to winter which just arrived today with the first frost!
