You ladies are too fantastic! Do you have any idea how hard it is to narrow down highlights from the weekly parties? So hard. Here are a few I love this week.

Fall decor is starting to show up and I'm so excited about it! Gather all those fall materials and make some pretty crafts like this fall wreath at Love Laugh Create.

Naptime Crafters built this amazing play kitchen with running water! My kids would have WAY TOO MUCH fun with this in their playroom!

Add a little touch of whimsy to a couch, chairs or a bed by adding some fun his and hers pillows! See these at Let's Make This Pretty.

The fancy stitching on pants is quite the rage. You can make pants that are rockstar worthy by doing what I Am Momma, Hear Me Roar did.

Stencils are being used on so many things right now including clothing. Brassy Apple stenciled a skirt to make it super fabulous.

Another thing you can stencil is the tops of table and benches. This one by Tattered and Inked looks so spectacular.
