Grace at Home No. 319


Dear friends, welcome! I'm so glad you're here for this week's Grace at Home party, where we celebrate all the ways we make our homes places of grace.

I'm alternately horrified and thrilled that today is the last Thursday in October. Horrified because the year is passing so quickly and especially because the first round of edits on my book (Mythical Me: Finding Freedom from Constant Comparison) are due to my publisher one week from today, November 1. So much work to do! And thrilled because this time next week I'll be turning those edits in and I can check that project off my list. It's been a long time coming, that's for sure. I'd surely appreciate your prayers for this last intensive week.

Meanwhile, I'm glad to see the ways you're making your homes places of grace. Here are some links from last week that caught my eye.

It's nearly time to take away the jack-o-lanterns, but I for one still want my home decorated for Autumn. Debra from Shoppe No. 5 created a leaf garland out of leather. Isn't this a pretty fall decoration?

If you'll be carving a jack-o-lantern this year, you might enjoy this recipe for honey roasted pumpkin seeds from Dagmar at Dagmar's House. Don't they look delicious?


If you're hosting a dinner party this Fall, you'll be inspired by this gorgeous Autumn table setting from Fabby at Fabby's Living.


If you'd like to get a head start on creating Christmas decor, check out these darling paper tassels, courtesy of Jennifer at Celebrating Everyday Life.


If you're in the mood for some Fall baking, I can promise that you'll never find a pumpkin bread recipe better than this one. 


And if you need some food for your soul, you'll appreciate these wise words from Karen at Growing Together in Grace and Knowledge.


A big thank you to everyone who joined last week's party!  I'm so grateful for each person who links up. If you've been featured, feel free to grab the "I was featured" button.  I'd be delighted if you'd like to  display it.

Now for this week's party!  Grace at Home is a place for you to share anything related to making your home a place of grace. I invite you to link posts about

  • DIY projects
  • decorating
  • recipes
  • hospitality
  • homemaking tips
  • parenting
  • marriage
  • faith
  • self-care
  • soul care
Whatever you do to make your home a place of grace, I'd like to hear about it.  Here's what I ask of you.  Please include the permalink to your post, not your blog's home page.  Please let people know that you've linked up.  No more than three posts per person, please.  Note that if you link a post here, you are giving me permission to share your post, including a photo.  And visit at least one of the other party participants--that's what really makes it a party!

  1. Hey Richella! Time is really flying! I will be in prayer for you as your deadline approaches. I have a deadline, too. This Monday, I release my first e-book: "A Wise Woman Builds: The Art of homebuilding". So I'll be editing all weekend. So much to do! I'm looking forward to checking out Fabby's table scape. Thanks for hosting and have a blessed weekend.

  12. I pinned that recipe for Dagmar's roasted pumpkin seeds a few years ago when she originally shared, and it's a winner! It's been repinned over 3,000 times from my board alone! Richella, thank you for featuring various bloggers' styles. There is so much inspiration around!
