Your weekly dose of new ideas, helpful hints, favorite items, and tidbits of wisdom…from a trio of lifestyle bloggers who love to share! 

WELCOME TO THE WISH LIST!

Ann | On Sutton Place

1.) When August arrives, and the days are getting shorter, my mind begins to think about fall. It’s a lovely time of year, so I’m celebrating by sharing over 75 ideas that provide endless inspiration. Included are cozy decor ideas, fun and easy crafts, free printable wall art, and so much more. This post is truly the ultimate guide to celebrating autumn, and I encourage all of you to enjoy and savor every minute.

2.) Fall is the perfect time to enjoy warm, comforting meals. From hearty soups and stews to sweet pumpkin and apple desserts, this collection of recipes captures the flavors of the season. Whether you’re looking for easy weeknight dinners or special dishes to share with family and friends, you’ll find plenty of inspiration. Get ready to fill your kitchen with the cozy aromas of fall, and discover new favorite recipes to enjoy all season long.

3.) Curated especially for you, this collection of wonderful fall decor items is divided into easy sections so you can find exactly what you need.

4.) FAVORITE QUOTE: “If you pay attention to the patterns of your life, you’ll realize everything always works out. Everything always takes you to a greater destination. You always grow and the things you think you can’t survive you somehow divinely make it through. That’s life. Always remember that.”
~Found HERE.

5.) INSPIRATION + IDEAS: take a look at this photographer’s charming Swedish summer cottage in the woods, and if you love before and after photos, this Colonial fixer-upper will blow you away!

6.) One of my favorite websites is The Design Files, and the team features design inspiration from Australia. This quaint miner’s cottage in New South Wales retains all the details and ambience of its heritage charm, styled to perfection with paintings by local artists and handmade details.

7.) EARLY FALL FASHION FINDS:

• I just got these slim twill cargo pants, and love them.
• Also got this floral embroidered top that’s feminine and comfortable.
• You can wear this classic denim shirt just about anyplace. (25% off)
• This block print blouse can be dressed up or down.
• This autumn print tee has adorable sleeves.
• I’m loving the fall vest trend, and here’s one with side buttons. Comes in 3 colors.

8.) NEUTRAL LAMPS: if you are wishing for a small update to one of your spaces, an easy thing to do is replace your lamps. Going neutral will allow you to move your lamps from room to room. This creamy white glazed lamp has texture and a perfect shade, this double gourd design is a great height, and I love the silhouette of this tall, slender modern lamp. This glass lamp is stunning and comes in 3 metal finishes, and this set of 2 rattan wicker lamps will also add texture and interest.

9.) RECIPES FOR LATE SUMMER: this tomato galette is the perfect way to enjoy tomatoes from your garden or the farm stand, this corn chowder is amazing when made with corn fresh off the cob, and you will never taste the veggies in this chocolate zucchini cake!

10.) That’s it for another week. This weekend is all about fall porch decor, so make sure to stay tuned!

ANSWER TO #7: Hydrangeas have allergy-safe pollen, so they make perfect gifts to those who are sensitive or allergic to flowers. The full moon tonight is called the sturgeon moon, and it is also called a blue moon and supermoon. Very rare! It’s a blue moon because it is the third full moon in a season (summer) that has four full moons. And it is a supermoon because its approach is so close to the earth. Now you know.
