Paint Dipped Pinecones

It is getting closer to fall! I'm starting to notice that the leaves are turning and the weather is slowly but surely getting a little bit colder each week. I've been on the lookout for some beautiful fall crafts and this one caught my eye!

Can you imagine having those pretty little pinecones all over your mantle or in a glass jar on your table? I love this idea! Check out the full tutorial here!

Pom Pom Balloons! {Feature}

I announced earlier this month, and I hope you got a chance to read it, that my hubby and I are expecting our first baby! Naturally, I have been on the lookout for great crafts for kids and then I stumbled upon this super cute idea for a kids party or I guess it could be for any party!

What a cool idea! I think almost any party guest would get a kick out of these cute balloons and I'm sure you would get plenty of fun comments on these whimsical decorations. Head on over to Design Improvised for the full tutorial!

Autumn Table Setting and Lanterns

Have you ever been to one of those houses for the Holidays and it seems like everything is perfect beyond perfect? The house looks clean, smells like pie, it's decorated beautifully, and to top it all off, when you sit down for dinner, the table is decorated with beautiful handmade decor.

Sometimes I get insecure when I go to homes like this because, I gotta tell ya, that's nothing like my house! For this reason, I rarely do any entertaining. Only for special occasions :) I actually like to be the one being entertained haha!

Once I start a family though, I'm going to have to learn to get better at entertaining. I think one of the things that will make a huge impact with minimal effort is making these beautiful table settings and lanterns from Craft and Creativity!

I love the leaves hanging from the chandelier. It is such a natural feel for autumn. And I like the chandelier itself too! I may have to go on the hunt for one like that :)

This table setting is also really natural and fairly easy to create! I love the wine bottle that is wrapped in leaves. It really dresses up the bottle!

Thanks to Helena from Craft & Creativity for sharing this great decor!
