The 17 Best Small Makers on Etsy
I can’t say enough about how much I love Etsy. I’ve been a customer for years and order all the time from my favorite shops for gifts, all of my fabric and items that I can’t find anywhere else. All of these shops are listed for the uniqueness of their products. There are many makers in the United States that offer a product that you can’t get anywhere else, but I tried to include a mix of both domestic and international sellers.
The 52 Best Fall Decor Ideas You’ll Love
I have been waiting for the longest summer ever to end because here in Atlanta, it was sweltering with humidity, mosquitoes and scorching sun. It just tires you out and this one was hotter than it’s been in years if you’ve been watching the news. I can feel it, can’t you? It’s Fall ya’ll and I’m digging it. The slight nip in the air, the longing for a pumpkin spice latte and the football players gearing up for a great season; it’s the most wonderful time of the year. I love Fall in all its glory.
The Best Fall Exclusives at Target from Opalhouse Jungalow, Hearth & Hand Magnolia and Threshold McGee & Co.
Target has been so good for several years now. It’s not the Target of my childhood which was much more in line with Walmart. They’ve made so many strides forward in fashion and especially in design.

The 34 Best Fall Football Party Essentials
It’s Fall y’all. One of the best things about Fall, for me, is football. I remember growing up and watching football every Sunday with my dad and brothers. I guess I was indoctrinated into the sport at an early age and grew to love it. And I especially like football when it’s outside. I have memories of sitting outside when it’s freezing with blankets and hot chocolate. I have twin brothers and a son who played football starting in Little League and went all the way up through college. I was also a cheerleader and the best times were cheering for football games on Friday nights. Needless to say, I have a lot of experience in tailgating and throwing Superbowl parties or just on any given Sunday throwing a football party.
