Also, today marks the last day of the big Fall Porch Tour bonanza that’s been going on all week.

We were living the dream!.I think I just mostly didn’t do a very good job of documenting all the things that made the house feel special and personal and like it was our home for real.

So I set out to do a bit better job of that this year, and I decided to let you in on it!.It’ll be mostly pictures for this one!.I really just walked around the house for five minutes and snapped some pictures of things I like that make me happy and that didn’t make it to the blog..

When you start with all your planning and decorating so early, you can start to feel Christmassed out around this time of year.I’ve been feeling lately that while I love it all, I’m ready for a break!

I’m ready to have my normal everyday house back!.

That’s exactly the time to get out the camera and make sure I take a moment to appreciate everything before it’s gone..I just bring back too much clutter.

And spend way too much, even though it’s all relatively cheap..The other reason is that I’m still a little freaked out by thrift stores sometimes.

I know we all do it, but when I go in, I always feel like everyone’s watching me.“What’s she doing here?
