The Best 2024 Fall Festivals in Georgia
Anyone who knows me knows that Fall is my absolute favorite season and one of my favorite things to do in the Fall is go to Arts & Crafts Festivals. The festival food, the crisp air and meeting artisans from around the Southeast makes my heart happy. So, I’ve compiled a list of the best ones this Fall so you can be happy too.
Many of these I’ve been to before or I’ve heard about them from friends so I highly recommend any of these or all of them if you love vintage, unique foods and music.
The Most Epic List of Olympic “Metals” in Honor of the Olympic Medals
I don’t know about you, but I’ve been obsessed with the Summer Olympics this year. I’m usually obsessed, but this year took it to a whole nother level. Most people I know have felt the same way. There have been so many people on social media watching the Olympics, doing the routines and movements and I can safely say that we are all in.
Checkerboard is Definitely Still Trending in 2024
Checkerboard is still trending in 2024, even though naysayers keep being naysayers. Designers, including me, think that it’s a classic pattern that will certainly ebb and flow in and out of favor. But for now, it’s hot and really exciting. It’s being used in different applications like homeware, ceramic tiles and in artwork so I don’t see it going away in the foreseeable future.
Designer & Diy’er pumped up on caffeine and willing to create anything. I want to let women know they can do it and if they don’t want to, I will.
