Hope your St. Pat’s Day was fun! I wanted post my family photo (one of the few I have of all 6 of us) before Easter! Yikes, this year Holy Week, seemed to sneak up on me, how about you?

It is hard to believe it has been a whole year since my family announced that I was expecting. Click here, to view a home video that we made last year, for our special news. Little did we know than how much (twins!) our lives were about to change forever!

Love,

Jess

P.S. What does it say about me, that I made the cookie photo larger than my family in the collage? hahaha – love them both!

A Few Shamrock Touches

Shamrock ribbon in a jar

Sideboard cleaned up for March

During my last thrifting trip I picked up a framed shadow box with a silver clip inside. I think it was for a wedding photo or something. I added in a shamrock ceramic ornament.

I propped a vintage St. Pats postcard up on a black scalloped pedestal candle holder.

Erin GoBraugh (Ireland Forever)! Anyone else have a black speaker to decorate above the TV?

May joy and peace surround you

Contentment latch your doors

And happiness be with you now

And bless you evermore

Love,

Jess

Welcome to my home.

I love to celebrate the harvest season. I do not really get into the spooky stuff. But I do love the beautiful colors and natural inspirations that are around for fall.

I am linking up with Kimba over at A Soft Place to Land for an Autumn/Halloween decor and craft “party”.  Check it out and add your own photos!

I spurlged this year and bought a metal frame pumpkin from a local arts and crafts store. It was on sale for $5.

This charming little stained glass window hanger was a hand me down from my MIL (Mother-in-Love) aka Grammy Kris.

I made filling for the cornacopia from ribbon, leaves from outside and faux autumn berries on a stick. I usually keep my autumn handtowel in the emtpy bowl-they were all in the wash pile! The apple corer just happened to be by the bread box it is not a decoration but it could be if I weren't using it everyday! That's what 20 plus pounds of apples will do!
