I have an easy decor trick for you today. I set my Spring table up recently and then decided hmm… maybe I should make this my Easter table. Want to know my secret? (you’ll have to keep reading).
Let’s first take a look at my Spring table. Freshly cut flowers are from my garden. That took some planning… from last Fall. I make a reminder on my calendar to plant bulbs!
Aren’t the daffodils so pretty? They almost look like faux flowers!
And now here is my Easter table…
Ready for my easy trick? I ADDED BUNNIES. TA DAAAAA! I told you it was easy. I’ve been collecting these little Steiff bunnies for years. My mom would give me one in my Easter basket for many years and I’ve purchased a few here and there too.
I also put a little Lindt chocolate bunny on each place setting.
A picture of my mantel with a few added Spring touches on it.
By the way, this room smells AMAZING because I am burning my Diptyque Tuberose and Orange Blossom candles. SIIIIIGH. I only burn these when I want to feel extra special. Today felt like one of those days with the pretty daffodils!

It’s been one year since the pandemic started. Are you wearing the same clothes that you used to? I think it’s time to clean out your closet!
Purge!
Let’s get real. Go through your closet and ask yourself… when is the last time I wore this? Am I going to wear it again (honestly!)? Lastly, DOES IT EVEN FIT? You might have gotten the covid 19 pounds from stress eating! If you don’t even want to try it on and see if it fits, then it’s time for it to go! Same goes with shoes!
Post Pandemic Professional
If you worked in an office and now don’t… are you going to put those office pants on? Again… do they even fit? For many, the professional scene is forever changed as many companies have found they can make do with many days working virtually from home.
Empty out your closet completely
Now that you’ve purged what you’re not going to keep, empty everything out of your closet so you can start fresh. Is there a better location in your closet for some of your most used items?
Get organized!
I’m talking baskets, bins, dividers. Measure your closet and figure out what size baskets/bins/dividers you may need. Use labels, if you would like! Also, a simple way to make your closet look great is to organize hanging clothes first based on color and then within that color range based on sleeveless, short sleeve, or long sleeve. This will save you so much time!
Use All The Same Hangers
An easy and not-too-expensive way to achieve a great looking closet is to use the same type of hanger for everything. This makes it looks like you had a professional organizer a la The Home Edit or Marie Kondo come in and do it!

Have you seen Bridgerton yet on Netflix?
If not… what are you waiting for? There’s period costumes, a handsome duke and a feast for the eyes of beautifully decorated rooms!
While I am sure many adored the Bridgerton’s pastel set, I liked the Featherington’s household’s colors as well! So fun!
I had fun putting together this little mood board to shop below! So many things I want for myself!

Today is Amazon Prime Day! I’m highlighting a few favorites here from my Amazon shop!
My #1 favorite item from Amazon is the Kindle Paperwhite! I LOVE this. It is also waterproof. I have an Ipad too but this is better for reading and causes less eye strain. If you are an avid reader, I would strongly consider getting a Kindle Unlimited membership which has unlimited reading of over 1 million ebooks plus tons of audiobooks. Also if you love Audiobooks, try a free trial of Audible (which I also have and love – I listen to audiobooks on my commute!).
I love these hangers for the closet. Come in several of colors.

As the weather starts to cool and the evenings are getting longer, that means we have more time to sit at home nestled up under a cozy blanket reading a good book! I’ve rounded up some new art and design books that I thought would be great reads!

I know I never used to write about children’s shopping finds BUT since I have a daughter now I find myself shopping more for her than for me! As far as I’m concerned, she can wear all the cute clothes and I can wear a grain sack… so long as it’s French 😉
Aren’t all of these outfits like SOOOOO CUTE?!?! Ok I could not figure out how to get these into the widget, so here are they are too!

In this post: Fall table decor ideas with nontraditional Fall colors of pink and green!
This is a sponsored post featuring Hot Skwash Pumpkins from LoveFeast Shop. All images and opinions are completely mine.
I am very excited to share with you my Fall tablescape for this year! This year I am partnering with LoveFeast shop to feature Hot Skwash velvet pumpkins. I received these beautiful pink pumpkins to feature in a post. Keep reading – I have a special discount code for you at the end of the post!
For years (seriously – search the blog… you will see!) I have slowly been purchasing and building my velvet pumpkin collection. Needless to say, I was thrilled when LoveFeast shop approached me with an opportunity to collaborate! Now that I think of it, I think I bought my first velvet pumpkin in 2008. So I REALLY like these pumpkins!
This year I was inspired by the pinks and greens of Fall colors. PINK?! Yes. I know. It is not a traditional Fall color. BUT if you look at a tree turning colors there is a myriad of colors: green, yellow, orange, dark pink, red, brown!
The velvet pumpkins come in tons of colors. On my table there is a combination of blush, guava, rose, magenta, lipstick, chartreuse and moss.
They also come in many sizes. They look best when you mix and match several colors with several sizes. If you have no idea what sizes and colors you would choose, LoveFeast Shop has some curated sets to choose from.
Decorating tip: Pair your pumpkins with some natural greenery or flowers to make them look their best, like I did for the centerpiece. The big pumpkin in the center is guava and is 8″ for size reference.
I love using velvet pumpkins in my Fall decor because they are so versatile! I like to use them on my mantel, as well as little vignettes throughout the house.
Decorating Tip: Place a small pumpkin on each place setting. Below is a 3″ Rose pumpkin on the plate.
Here is a slightly different look. I placed a blush colored pumpkin in the centerpiece. It’s so easy to just mix and match them!
What I love about these pumpkins is that they are made of a silk velvet which make them luxurious and give them a really nice color. I also adore the real dried pumpkin stems that are used. The real pumpkin stem is what makes them so charming! I love the whimsical curls of the dried stem.
They are also nice because they never go rotten! To store them in the off season, I carefully place them in plastic storage bins.

The French just do some things better, such as croissants, and baby clothes as well! I thought I would share my favorite brands and stores with you (and also for me so I have one convenient place to have them all!)
Classic French brand. Known for Breton stripes and yellow jackets. As of this time, their website does not ship to the US but there are retailers (such as MeliJoe) that do carry them.
I actually just discovered this Parisian store while writing this blog and have saved it! However, I was informed by a reader there is no shipping to the USA.
Yes I know H&M is not French – it is Swedish but I like H&M because not only do they have great prices, but they do have cute children’s clothes. The only caveat is that you have to search for them as IMO there is a lot of ugly items too. I have found some cute dresses, lace collared one pieces, lace socks, waffle knit sweaters – oh yeah, and all 100% cotton.
A fixture in France – They have great sales, ship to the US. I read they are like the French “Old Navy”. For me, many of their clothes are not quite “classical” enough, but they do have some great bargains.

I have always liked the Louis Vuitton Neverfull handbag, but if I purchased it my wallet would be… never… full… (I laughed and cringed as I wrote that).
They are a nice canvas bag that has many different functions – work bag, travel bag, diaper bag, gym bag, and just a plain ol’ handbag!
However each year their price rises and now I just can’t bring myself to buy one for its cost!
So I went searching for similar alternatives bags to the Neverfull!

Sharing my favorite finds for the Home!
Hydroflask water bottle, 32 oz – I LOVE my Hydroflask wide mouth water bottle and to find one on sale is very rare!!! I have had ice in that thing remain unmelted 24 hours later! Seriously!
Le Labo Basil Hand Soap – Le Labo never goes on sale. This soap “is made with antioxidant sea buckthorn, rosemary leaf to soothe and sugar cane to cleanse. It pairs basil with verbena, a citrusy and vegetal alternative to most aromatic notes, which increases each facet of the basil. The soap comes in a bottle with an easy-to-use pump.”
Voluspa tin candle – comes in many different scents, but Japanese Saijo Persimmon is my favorite!
Diptyque set of 5 travel size candles – my most favorite candles in the whole world on sale in a set of 5. I wish the set had the bigger candles, BUT this is a great foray into Diptyque and lets you try their bestselling scents.
Le Labo Santal 26, Set of 3 Candles – A Nordstrom exclusive of a luxury brand that *never* goes on sale. Santal 26 is the scent that made them famous. The notes of the candle are: Top: violet, cardamom. Middle: iris, ambrox. Base: Australian sandalwood, cedarwood.
Silk Pillowcase set – Silk pillowcases are supposed to decrease the likelihood of you getting wrinkles. Whether there’s a study on that or not… who knows.
Pink Wine Glasses – Always thinking ahead… would look great as a tablescape for a pink vintage themed Christmas, or Valentine’s Day, or Spring, or Easter!
Nordstrom Faux fur throw – comes in 4 colors and is so soft and cuddly! I remember last Christmas they had these out and I face planted into them as they were so soft! (Note to self: there will be no face planting into blankets in the store anymore w/ covid)
