This soap smells so fantastic, I don't know if I should use it, or eat it? It is definitely pretty "company" soap that would go great with any of these. By Century Farmhouse.

Gardenia candle from Naturally Me - another amazingly scented item!

Meet & Greet Emily Henderson!
A few weeks ago, I got this
I KNOW! Crazy, right?
You know what I'm thinking...
My favorite guest blogger
Everyone had a fantastic time. Hurricane Irene was the main conversation, and today I am hoping that all is well everywhere.
This is what I asked Emily about her show;......
Like that enormous red sectional/booth @ 5K
Answer; HGTV
2. Where is the Style Diagnostic filmed (looks like your house/studio)?
3. Do you shop for all of those crazy options you have spread out
4. How far in advance do you shop for the room
Answer; about a month
Emily is as cute, fun and sweet in person as you would expect. Finally, she said she was not sure of a name for her own style......
How about; California, West Elm, Girly, fun?
Tomorrow, I'll talk about the gift bags. Oh yeah, there was swag too!

Fall Gardening Projects
Fall is the perfect time to plant and transplant. Since I did not get enough gardening time in this season, I want to make sure I maximize Fall. Some of the things I would like to get accomplished...
Transform this....
into this
A Potager garden!
In the Fall, I also like to plant or transplant roses. Many people write that roses don't like to be transplanted...well, it can be tricky. Here's how I look at it; If I can't live with the current location of a plant, try transplanting. Either way, that plant will no longer be in the wrong location....and hopefully, success will be achieved.
This is my rose selection
White carpet roses.
The other plant on my Fall planting list is this
2 white hydrangea trees.
Do you have a Fall gardening project?

Fall Window Boxes
The weather is starting to change. You can feel the slightly cooler mornings and the less oppressive heat in the evenings. I'm starting to think about Fall. Once school starts......Fall comes fast! This year, I would like to decorate my window boxes. Here are some BEAUTIFUL images I found on Pinterest and Google Images
********* Update - go here for Winter Window Boxes **********

Do you take the time to decorate for Fall?
