Hi Friends - There are so many talented ladies who blog about their homes, decorating and entertaining. Being a part of that community is such a pleasure. Several of us are sharing our fall entertaining and tablescape ideas today. If you're just coming from From House to Home - Welcome! Wanda has such a beautiful blog. Every fall, I fall in love with the season all over again. Who doesn't love the warm, sunny days and the crisp, cool nights. I look forward to everything ...
And the River Rises
Living on the river is a magical place to be until the river rises. It decided last week to break all time records and rise 13 plus feet. We are officially Living Large on an Island. Our only means of transportation in and out of our home is a row boat or for the not so faint of heart, hip wadders and a long tiring trudge down the road through thigh high water.

Create a Kitchen Collage
I discovered PicMonkey and I really had a lot of fun figuring out how to use this amazing tool. It is pretty easy to negotiate but best of all it's FREE. Because it's so cute, I just had to share this Kitchen Collage that I created using PicMonkey. It's a montage of all things that are good on our urban farm. I've also stumbled upon Canva which is a great design tool. I've used it for just about everything from my Facebook page cover to party invitations. ...
