Vintage Farmhouse Fall Wreath: Thrift Store Basket Upcycle

Friday's Find #215

TGITF Friends! Like most of this week's finds, I'll be using this fabulous vintage basket as fall decor. I have childhood memories of seeing large shallow baskets like this one used as wall decor. Now they're back and I've seen them styled from boho chic to farmhouse decor. They are fetching a pretty penny on Etsy, but I'm already getting attached to this one. I can always sell it later--right?

Friday's Find #214

Thank God it's thrifty Friday, Friends! When I began collecting jadeite several years ago, my first finds were from thrift stores. For those of you who share my obsession with the vintage green dishes, you know they're getting harder to come by at all and a rare thing to score in thrift stores, these days. Every once in awhile, I'm delighted when I come across the occasional find--or two--like these restaurantware saucers. Score!

15 Minute Fall Decor from Repurposed Dish Towels

Hi there, Friends!  When my brother and his family visited San Antonio for a mini vacation a few weeks ago, I met them at the resort and spent the night to celebrate his birthday. Unfortunately their vacation was cut short due to Hurricane Harvey, but we were able to have a nice dinner and visit the following morning. On my way back home, I stopped at a few stores that aren't available in my rural town, including Ross. It was there I found these adorable dish towels. I'm so glad I picked up these two sets, because they were perfect for starting some crafty fall projects during all of the wet weather. For today's 15 Minute Fix, I'm sharing two different ways you can repurpose dish towels as fall decor.
