Sensational Sunday Love Links!

This morning it was 28 degrees when we woke up!  Brrrr!  A bit frosty-but it is to be expected here in Minnesota.  Although I am not excited about the colder weather-it's presence here isn't all bad. There is something about the 'cold' snap that seems to draw out the fall colors in the trees, and I've been out capturing their beauty this weekend!!

Speaking of fall..... here is what I've been up to this week to fill our house with a touch of my favorite season!!!


I made a batch of these delicious Fall inspired muffins!!!

I created a simple-budget friendly centerpiece and  Fall tablescape!!!

And I did a complete makeover on our electric fireplace-and added a few fall touches to the mantel!


Now let's get to my LOVES for the week!!!


1. This chandelier over at Dear Lillie is just GORGEOUS-and I'm totally loving her nod to the neutral fall decor!!

2. Jennifer-author of the blog Sweet and Simple Living has  a recipe that combines two of my FAVORITE foods- Pizza and bread!!!!  I don't even know her, and yet-how can I NOT love her???

 

3. Jody and Stan, from the blog, Rooted in Thyme, are in London and I'm drooling over every photo they share of their trip!!!  Especially their latest post on the Borough markets!!!


4. Marty-author of A Stroll thru Life, has a knack for adding simple touches with a big WOW factor to her home-and I'm definitely crushing on her new leopard print pillows!!!

5. For those of you who have been following for awhile-you know how much I love finding treasures!  This mining cart that Jann, from Have a Daily Cup of Mrs. Olson is a true gem-and I adore how she incorporated it so perfectly  into her fall porch.


6. Angie never ceases to amaze me with her creations!  Who would have thought to re purpose a futon frame into this adorable chalkboard shelf???  You got it-she would-and I am in LOVE with it!


7.  I often wonder if my dreams are bit far fetched and even unattainable, this quote was exactly the reminder I needed this week!


Have a Sensational Sunday sweet friends!!!

Blessings,

Christine
