Sunday Smiles Book Love

Hello sweet friends, I hope you are well. It is finally cooling off. I can’t wait for cozy weather and Sunday Smiles Book Love.

Sunday Smiles Book Love

This past week we moved Sweet Guy back to college. He’s still living in the apartment we furnished for free last year. 

As we were rearranging the kitchen he mentioned that he would like a knife block. But not a boring one. This idea fits the bill!

Cute Coat Rack

The guys also need a coat rack. I think a trip to the thrift store is in order so I can make this one.

A Magical Literary Inspired Week

It’s been a lovely literary inspired week at Decor To Adore. I was inspired by magical forests in creating my new fall hearth decor.

Decorating The New Hearth

There was a fun sew along to create Mrs. Dashwood’s cap.

I taught two friends to make the cap in a charming sewing circle in this video.

An Upcoming Holiday Event

I also announced on Instagram an upcoming holiday event, #ALittleWomenHoliday. This event is open to everyone. If you create any Little Women inspired crafts, recipes, decor just use the tag on social media or let me know. 

A Little Women Holiday

Whew, what a week! I am a bit exhausted so I will be taking a few days off. 

I’ll see you next Sunday!

    Such a cozy post, Laura. The book rack is adorable Anything made out of books or that use books in a vignette is right up my alley. I have made the tiny books out of those little candies to give to my 1st graders at church for our Books of the Bible party with a little Bible verse many moons ago!

    Lots of fun ideas for books and what to do with old books. The little chocolates decorated like little books are awesome. What a cute little treat to share with some teachers or librarians. 🙂
    Looking forward to your Little Women posts. Have you ever thought of using Anne of Green Gables for inspiration? Another charming well loved book series that captures the heart.
    Thanks for sharing your lovely ideas! 🙂
