While flipping through an issue of Family Circle yesterday afternoon, I came across a clever and quick way of arranging flowers…one that was so simple, even a flower-arranging novice like myself felt certain of success. And this morning, while watching an episode of Barefoot Contessa (LOVE her!), she showed the exact same technique. It was …
It’s hard to believe, but Fall is almost here. Part of me mourns the passing of Summer and all that comes with it (flip flops! BBQs!), but another part of me loves all that Fall brings…including these favorite fall recipes! A lot of these I’ve tried, and others I’m planning on trying this season. Either …
Hello friends and Happy Monday! When The Wreath Depot contacted me about sharing some favorites from their fall wreath collection, I was happy to oblige.

One of the things I love about creating handmade for the holidays is knowing that people will be waking up on Christmas morning, all over the world, opening one of my creations. The order above was created for a sweet customer in Australia, and was so much fun to make. What do YOU love about …
Have you ever had one of those trips to the grocery store? You know the kind…you have to use the huge monster size shopping cart because it has the big plastic seats that your preschooler wants to sit in, then the first two carts you try have broken seat belts, and when you finally …

Happy October! Megan here, from The Preppy Planner, and I have a great DIY tutorial for you today that is Halloween themed. I love decorating and displaying pumpkins, but because I live in an apartment I don’t have anywhere to display a carved creation. So to solve my little problem, I found a great way …
Fall is here: the crisp air, the hot afternoon sun warming piles of leaves that are begging to be jumped in…the single, perfect golden leaf resting on the windshield…the crunch of dried leaves under running shoes…the chilly evenings marked by early-falling darkness. In fact, fall is already a couple of weeks old. All your super-crafty, …
Hello again, Burlap+Blue readers!! Carrie here, from Dream Green DIY. First of all, I have to preface by telling you, with immense pride, that the title for this post was dreamed up by none other than my tattoo-armed, fishing-obsessed, metal rock musician husband. I was sitting at my computer racking my brain for a title …
Hello, friends! It’s beginning to feel a lot like Fall around here, and I couldn’t be happier. We even had our first fire in the fireplace earlier this week, complete with a fireside picnic and smores, of course. We love smores in this house, and watching a three year old eating a sticky, oozing, gooey …
Good morning, Burlap+Blue readers! Carrie here, from Dream Green DIY, back to show you my favorite way to celebrate the fall season. I think I can speak for the majority of us when I say that boots, pumpkins, scarves and pumpkin spice lattes have us all leaping for joy over the beginning of fall. It …
