What we’ve been up to this week
Fall In The Field
Last weekend, we attended Fall In The Field at Renninger’s for the first time!
We loved it and found a few new treasures we’ll share with you soon!
We discovered booths filled with antiques,
handmade wares,
gorgeous heirloom pumpkins,
beautiful handmade wreaths, and so much more!
It was a lovely day, and we had so much fun we have already penciled it on the calendar for next year!
I’m setting a goal to hold out and buy my pumpkins from there!
I can already picture my 2024 Autumn porch in my mind, lol!!
Family Visit
We love it when our family and friends come to visit!
It was great to spend time with Rich’s sister and her hubby before they headed to the beach!
A cold front came through (hallelujah), and it’s the first time I’ve worn leggings and even took a sweatshirt since the sun wasn’t out!
We took them to the Oakland Nature Preserve, where they could experience Fall in Florida!
It consists of a few dead leaves on the ground
an occasional patch of colorful leaves,
gorgeous flowers,
and interesting berries!
After our nature walk, we headed to Disney Springs for lunch!
Then, we started our Christmas shopping and got all the gifts for the littles on that side of the family!

It was a blast Rachel! You would love Renninger’s! If you get tired of the cold in January or February, you should come down and go to the Extravaganza!!! Hope you have a great week!

Wow Donna. You’ve been busy! Renningers’s looks amaZing!! Can’t wait to see what you got. Your porch looks so good and perfect timing to welcome guests. Family time is the best! Thank you for featuring my vintage brown transferware. I appreciate it very much. Have a fabulous weekend. XO- MaryJo

Hi, MaryJo! I adore your brown transferware collection, and hope to find more at Renninger’s Extravaganza in November! So I was happy to share it! Yes, we love visiting with family! Have a wonderful weekend!
CoCo says
Catching up on all your fabulous projects, Donna! I’m so excited you guys got to go to Fall in the Field at Renningers. All the pumpkins in the barn/covered area were wild to me. That same family brings their pumpkins every year and it’s always so much fun to see what new varieties they’ve cultivated. I could fill my entire porch with their pumpkins and cornstalks! Sending you hugs and I’m excited you’re enjoying all that Fall has to offer. It’s such a special time of year, CoCo
Donna Allen says
We had so much fun and I can’t wait to go back next year and buy some pumpkins and corn stalks from them!! I found some great home decor items that day too! Yes, Fall is such a great time of year and it’s my favorite! Thanks for stopping by!
