Grace at Home No. 349


Hello, friends! I hope you're having a wonderful day. I'm here in the South where Summer is lingering, lingering, lingering. . . it's supposed to be 96 degrees today! Oh, please, Lord, let Autumn come soon!

I'm so glad you're here for the Grace at Home party, where we celebrate all the ways we make our homes places of grace. Here are some highlights from last week's party I think you'll enjoy.

Despite the lingering hot weather, I'm trying to get my house ready for Fall. If you need inspiration for decorating your front entry for the season, I think you'll love this post from Ashley at Simply Designing--including a free printable.


If you like using pumpkins in your Autumn decor, you've probably swooned over some of the velvet pumpkins for sale--and you might have found them to be prohibitively expensive. Julie from My Wee Abode to the rescue--she wrote a detailed tutorial for making your own velvet pumpkins. As you can see, it's possible to make these in any color you choose. Aren't these gorgeous?


If the leaves are starting to turn in your neck of the woods and you'd like to preserve some of them, you should check out this post from Justyna at Falling 4 Fall--she explains nine different methods for preserving these beauties.


If you just want to dream about beautiful Autumn spaces, you'll love this post from Pam at Everyday Living. Gorgeous!

If you're looking for a fun craft project, you should check out this gorgeous tray created by Lisa from Fresh Vintage. Just look at the handles! Wouldn't this make a stunning gift?


Even if the weather here is still hot, I'm ready for pumpkin treats. If you're like me, you'll be glad to get this recipe for pumpkin cookies with caramel frosting from Andrea at Living on Cloud Nine.


The older I get, the more I realize that what people are all craving is connection. Would you agree? This post from Carri at Down Aspen Lane offers some fresh insight about creating connection with others.


As for me, I shared some ways to create a beautiful bedroom on a small budget. I'd love for you to check it out!

  7. Richella, thank you SO much for the lovely feature, and the amazingly kind words. I LOVE making those velvet pumpkins, and it's still my favorite post to date! Hope your weather cools down soon. Last week was pretty bad, but we've cooled down now for a few days. Praise the Lord!
