Friday Favorites

I am linking up over at Momfessionals, A Little Bit of Everything & Grace and Love Blog:

Below is a random assortment of things I love...to smell, eat, see, decorate with, etc!

FALL CANDLE TIP:

I love candles!  I typically enjoy the more $$ candles...Circle E, Tylers, Swan Creek, etc.  Actually Swan Creek are my favorites!  Anyway, during the Fall I LOVE the Pumpkin Spice candle from....WALMART??!!  Seriously, I discovered it a few years ago and it smells amazing!  To me it is the perfect Pumpkin scent!  It is super fragrant and crazy cheap!  The medium size is $3.50, the large size is $5 and they sell a package that comes with 2 large and 3 small (not shown) for $10!

Now, although I LOVE the candle, I HATE the label...they must know this because it is an "easy peel" label!  I take it right off and put a chalkboard label on instead :)  I got those from the $1 bin at Michaels.  Go get you some....you will love them!

FALL FOOD LOVE:

I love pumpkin food.  Making Pumpkin Bread is one of my favorite activities this time of year.  I love going to Einsteins Bagels and having the pumpkin flavored goodies, etc.  I was strolling through Target and found these Limited Edition Bagels and thought I would give them a try....OMG!  LOVE!  They are amazing!  I will be so sad when they go away for the season!  Go try them!

Random Decorating Tip:

I love trying new, unique, cost effective things when decorating.  In my guest bath I found an old window and use it for the window treatment.  I posted this on Instagram and got lots of positive feedback so I thought I would share it here as well!

Think outside of the box when decorating!!  There are no rules!

Great lighting idea!!

A store that I love in downtown McKinney called Doozie's Corner just opened a new location and I went to check it out.  They had these beautiful lighting fixtures/chandeliers above and I thought it was so clever what they used!!!  They are tomato plant stands with crystals hanging off!  SO creative and such a cost effective way to do a ton of lighting!  I thought they would be so cool in the backyard of our future farmhouse one day...

MORE favorite lighting ideas:

Check out this chandelier...I saw it on Pinterest and though it was amazing!  Love the combo of the crystal chandelier with the rustic whiskey barrel!

Favorite Craft Ideas:

I love a good DIY and found these this week on Pinterest and thought they were great!

I LOVE all things mason jars so when I saw this wreath made out of old rusty mason jar lids I fell in love.  I need to make one of these for Christmas time (could really leave it up all year!)

You can buy the one below and many more like it HERE

Then I saw this one using mason jar lids to make a pumpkin!  So clever!!  You can read how to do your own HERE:

Here is another example of a mason jar pumpkin!  You can read all about this one HERE.

I have been seeing lots of Coffee Filter wreaths online so I decide to make my own and I LOVE the way it turned out.  It was simple and cheap!  

I bought the wreath form from Walmart for around $5 and then bought natural coffee filters for around $3!

I did not do a "how to" post on this, but you can see how to make one HERE

Here is mine:

Thanks for stopping by!  Hope you found some things you love too!
