Saturday Suggestions: Inspirations for Your Weekend

 

                Thank you so much for your kindness and texts yesterday as I took a day to collect my thoughts. Yesterday was a better day. Today is a BIG day, and I can’t wait to tell you more about it next week! Meanwhile…here are some links for your Saturday.

I love a good buffet setup. In our current home, we often serve food buffet-style to groups, because we like to maximize the space on the table for actual eating! While we typically keep that buffet presentation simple at our house (because we’re using our everyday countertops), here are some cute ways to have an adorable buffet presentation. So if you’re setting up a proper party somewhere, this might help you keep it amazing! Several of the ideas incorporate DIY, so if you don’t own a bunch of fancy serving pieces, that’s okay!

I love the original Little House on the Prairie, and one of my favorite characters was Albert. I know he is a controversial character for some, since he wasn’t in the books, but I loved him (and possibly had a crush on the actor back in the day). I ran across this tiny interview that tells how Albert’s character even came to be. I’d never heard this before!

I know that when it comes to house décor, we are pretty deep into fall already, but if you haven’t decorated yet, and/or you feel like you need to add a mid-season refresh, Heidi has some simple ideas for your kitchen!

I love a good hymn on the piano, and that phrase is not usually followed by “and this sure was a funny one!” But I happened upon this rendition of the hymn “He Keeps Me Singing,” played in the style of various composers. It made me smile – and jealous of his talent!

Brooke’s blog is based on petite fashion, and even though I’m not petite, I like her style and enjoy seeing her outfit ideas. In this post, she styles one (very cute!!) dress multiple ways. It’s a good fall inspiration, so if you’re looking for some ideas, here you go!

Have you heard of these Advent boxes? They are higher in price than I would normally spend for an Advent calendar, but I think it’s really cool to be able to sample treats from local places. They have them for most states, some regions, and even adventures like Route 66. It could be a really fun and different sort of Christmas adventure! I drooled over the Indiana box, by the way.
