Love… One Sip At A Time // A Valentine Tea Party
I started hosting tea parties in an older home propped as pretty as you please on the corner of a quiet street. A family of four in a two-bedroom, one-bath home made for a tight fit, and tea parties felt downright snug, but no one would change a thing.

You get the idea. So when I thought of a love for this Fall, how could I not feature owls on one of these #write31days? Felt and Pinecone...
Fall Decorating – 16 Ideas!
When I jotted down these fall ideas for this month’s challenge awhile back, this idea made the cut. My plans included a walk through my yard, a pair of clippers, and lots of photos. But the weather has a way of changing things up, much like the seasons.
