fall, farmhouse, farmhouse style

So this week it has been just a few shy of 100 degrees…but the first day of fall is upon us.


So regardless of temps, I gradually put out a few fall things this week.


I hope that wherever you are…fall is on your radar. I hope that your allergies are under control and that your pumpkin spice game is strong.


Psssst…you’ve got a little candy corn in your teeth. Jaaaaay kaaaay! It’s pumpkin bread. 😉

Love from the Farmhouse,

Happy Pumpkin Season!

autumn, fall, pumpkin season

It’s here! Are we excited?  You bet your pumpkin muffins we are! Today, my mom bought us a cozy throw and some Pumpkin Spice Celestial Seasonings tea. I am armed for pumpkin season.

On a farm it’s always exciting to spend time outside when it cools off.  I can’t wait for a bit of cooler weather for fresh pumpkins on our porch. I actually bought some discounted throw pillows for the porch swing today. A gray and white Moroccan print. Supah cute for fall and winter. Eeeeeeep!

I hope that you are as excited as we are!

Love from the dirt road,

fall, farmhouse style, tuesday

Hey everyone! Are we runnin’ full steam ahead after the long weekend? I have things going around here…pretty much. It does feel like a Monday though. 

Did everyone have a good holiday? We did. We decided at the last minute to have a little weekend get-away. It was fun! Yesterday though…we just kicked back a bit. That is always nice too.

I hit a couple of different Targets while I was in a town or two that actually had one. I had seen some things on Instagram that I was interested in picking up. They were fresh out of the checked throw pillows that I was after…but I picked up some cloth napkins…and may actually make them into window treatments. Fun…fun!



Are you guys starting to decorate for fall? I’m not just yet…but maybe soon!

Have a great evening!

Cozy Is On It’s Way

Hey Guys! Come on in for a bit. I thought that we would just chat a little today about Cozy Is On It’s Way.  Here in Southern Missouri we are feeling thankful for that fact.  Yes…it’s the first of August…but hopefully by the end of next month…the humidity will have let up a bit. By the way…I already have this wreath hanging on the front door of The Farmhouse. I loved it the minute I laid eyes on it. Cozy to the core.

Do you guys have a Rae Dunn collection going?  I am a sucker for pottery of any shape or form…so I love hunting for these mugs. This summer I stashed them in an old locker basket. So fun.  I am actually having a cup of hot tea now.  It’s a blend of organic rose, lavender, and chamomile. It’s very good.  I know…you probably think I’m crazy…but it’s cold in here with the a/c.  I’m telling ya…around this time of year, thoughts of fall are very exciting.  I need to round up the few little things that I put out for the kids when it’s Back to School time. I have also been using Mulled Cider wax in the warmer. Our whole family loves it.

If you follow along on Instagram…you have probably noticed a nod toward the cozy part of the year.  The new black and white plaid curtains in our red room (It used to be red. lol!) are wonderfully cozy.  We also have a new braided rug in our entry. I really do love summer and all of it’s fun…but as a homemaker…the cozy time of year just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Kind of like this hot cup of tea.

Love from The Farmhouse,

Kelli

Falling Back

fall, pumpkins, time change

Do you guys live in a time zone that will set their clocks back?  We do.  Here in Southern Missouri we live in an area that is very rural.  I am told that the time change helps the farmers.  I’m all for that.  I also enjoy falling back a bit more than I used to.  You know, the coziness and all.

Some people hate it.  I understand.  It is a bit sad to lose that hour of daylight in the evening.  At one point in the year, it’s dark by about five o’clock.  For me…it’s a fun time to burn candles and make soup.  (My poor family. So much soup. lol!  Actually tonight, I might make tacos.)

SONY DSC

Whatever you enjoy…I hope that if your clocks do get set back…you adjust easily.  We do struggle with that a bit around here.  As with most things though…we adjust.  God is good to give us grace for that.

Have a wonderful Monday, sweet Dirt Roaders!

Adding a Touch of Cozy

cozy, fall

When fall arrives…I have cozy on my mind. (Not leaving. #oldsong)

I pull out the throws and quilts, and search the thrift for more afghans.

I burn candles and melt wax that smell like fall.  The mulled apple cider wax is our favorite.

  
Life isn’t always easy and very rarely feels perfect, but for some reason…adding a touch of cozy makes it feel so much better. I’ll bet that ol’ Proverbs 31 gal thought the same thing. 😉

 If we can welcome our family and friends into our homes, offer them a warm blanket and a warm cup of something…cozy will be accomplished. I like that.

Happy Wednesday.

fall, home decor

Are you there yet?

  
Are you dreaming about cooler weather and crisp leaves?  

  
Are you putting out pumpkins and candy corn?

  
Tell the truth. 😉

   
I’m not quite doing all of that…but I am hankerin’ a little.  Dreaming…maybe.  Ready for a new season…undoubtedly.

  
Love from the Farmhouse,

Kelli

Whatcha lookin’ for?

Welcome to our stretch of the dirt road! It is filled with junkin' trips, culinary experiments and anything to "fluff the nest" which is our farmhouse. I love home decor that fits my family. I love a simplicity that we can live in. Maybe that is why the country life is so appealing to us. It's a place to breathe deep...and enjoy the journey. Join us! We would love to have you. (You might even see a chicken or two.)
