Enchanting Inspiration No. 13 {Link Party and Highlights}

It feels like summer is over. AJ is officially back in the school, I’m crunching over leaves when I run and Drew has pre-school orientation in a few days. So tonight I’m hosting a fall dinner for friends in honor of AJ and Warren both returning to their teaching jobs for another fall. And it’s going to be 85 degrees. 🙂

This week I’ve been happily collecting armfuls of hydrangeas at my parents’ house and decorating with them. Few things make me happier than simple bouquets of flowers placed around the house… especially when I didn’t spend a dime for them. If you follow me on Instagram you’ve already seen how I stuffed this gorgeous bag full of them to bring them in the house!

Let me introduce you to some great finds via the Enchanting Inspiration party last week.
