Fabric Pumpkin Burlap Banner

I can't believe tomorrow is October!

I absolutely love this time of the year.

September is still warm enough that I don't feel the season change too much, but as soon as October comes we decorate for Halloween, start planning costumes, and the overall feel just completely changes.

The other day I decided to make this pumpkin banner to add to our decorations this year.

I love that it will work for Halloween and Thanksgiving.

I was able to make this whole thing in a little less than an hour.

I've got lots of pictures and instructions for you, but please let me know if you have any questions.

*Also, if you aren't feeling too crafty I have these for sale over at my Etsy shop! Click here to find the listing.

Kitchen Counter Declutter

For the longest time I have been trying to come up with a better solution for storing our fresh produce.

Some fruits and veggies go in our fridge, but for the rest they've always just been put in a kind of pile on our counter.

A few people suggested a fruit bowl or a fruit stand, but I still didn't like the idea of it on the counter. I wanted to free up as much counter space as possible so I turned to the internet and started searching for ideas.

I had seen a couple of hanging baskets but it wasn't quite what I wanted, until I found this shelving kit for only $27 on Amazon! 

(I’ve linked this shelving kit and all of my recommended household finds HERE)

I have a pretty small pantry door, only 18" across, so this 12" wide set was perfect! 

It was on back order for a week, but it finally arrived yesterday and I put it up right away.
