Fall Weekend Recap

Via Pinterest
Happy Sunday! Wow, this weekend flew by! As much as I wish the weekend was longer, I still enjoyed myself this while it lasted :)
Saturday started off with a little sleeping in followed by one of Ryan's (usual) Saturday morning breakfasts. Waking up to the smell of coffee and knowing that there are pancakes in your future make for a happy girl! We spent some time around the house for a while...but it didn't last long because we were antsy to get out and enjoy the amazing weather. We decided that Franklin would be our destination for the day and Ryan's parents, our companions :)
The trees are starting to change!
Pretty countryside
We met up and visited a bunch of little shops, walked around and eventually stopped for lunch at Puckett's. I'd been to the Puckett's on the other side of town, but not the one in Franklin....their BBQ  and sweet tea won me over and I plan on going back again!
After lunch we spent a long time wandering around antique malls and little businesses (looking for a bar cart for our place). After the boys were tired of antique shopping, we headed back home and spent the evening hanging around the house.
Ryan made a new friend :)
Loving all of the cute fall decorations...and the boy :)
I started feeling bad (attach of the allergies) on Saturday night so I definitely slept in a little on Sunday too. We have spent the day cleaning, grocery shopping and even crafting! I finally decided on a fall wreath! I made one using some artificial flowers, thin wire and a twig wreath.
This sums up my weekend :)
 
Another part of the seasonal decorations around the house!
I also made a quick and cute print for the dining room. I threw some tissue paper and a quote on card stock into a frame I had laying around and voila! A cute, cheap, and easy piece to add some personality to the dining room :)

Fall Treats ~ Wreaths

This weekend I decided that it was time to bring out the fall decorations.....except I couldn't decide on which decorations I wanted to use! I don't like to use Halloween themes because that doesn't last through November. I also don't like to use anything that's too gaudy, anything that is too large, and I definitely don't like a million little decorations all around our (already small) apartment.

After all of the restrictions I set it looks like I'll probably just hang a wreath this year. 
Now for the fun part--picking one out :)

I think this one is my favorite!
