Saturday Chitchat with Janine – Volume 139


Honestly, I’m usually obsessed with baking using pumpkins! This quote totally sums up my feelings most of the time,

“When life gives your pumpkins, make a pie”

Today, I’m not baking treats in the kitchen; instead, I’m crafting and decorating. So, why don’t we jump into pumpkin projects this weekend and let our creative side shine?

Here’s to having a fantastic time crafting with pumpkins!

Personal Note from Janine

During our visit to my mother-in-law, we embarked on an impromptu adventure to Martha’s Vineyard, a place we hadn’t explored in quite some time.

Since we opted to take the ferry without our car, we rented one upon our arrival in the charming town of Oak Bluffs. We had a fun time exploring the surrounding areas and eventually made our way to the picturesque town of Edgartown.

One of the things that surprised me was how the shops and homes decked out their exteriors with vibrant pumpkins and cornstalks. The decor was simple and natural.

It’s given me inspiration to revamp my front porch for the next autumn season.

In the meantime, I’ve been busy crafting various pumpkin-themed projects this week, and I hope you like them.

I want to say how much I appreciate this incredible community we’ve got here on the blog. Thank you all for being so incredibly supportive.

Here’s to friendships and embracing the the ever-changing seasons!
