Knowing today is officially the first day of fall, yesterday I worked on a twig wreath for my front door.
Gathered some vines, formed a wreath secured with wire, finished up by adding some bittersweet purchased this past weekend at the Country Living Fair in Columbus, Ohio.
Love my wreath, twiggy, simple, no nonsense, perfect for welcoming this time of the year. Just the look I wanted.
A few months ago, I contacted my niece who lives close to Columbus, asking her if she would be able to go to the Country Living Fair, a bucket list item of mine.
What joy for me when she agreed to make time in her busy life!
We decided to make a weekend of it! Along with my sister, we traveled 2 hours to her home, a farmhouse in the country. Just such a beautiful setting.
Some of her neighbors.
Early morning coffee on the porch.
A gift, homemade sweet pickles.
Amanda, next to my son, has given my life overwhelming love and joy!
We went to the fair on Saturday, it was filled with all the things you see in the Country Living magazine.
Spectacular weather all weekend.
The rest of our time was spent relaxing, visiting with Amanda’s family and friends, laughing, and of course, eating!
Thank you Amanda for checking off this bucket list item of mine, and especially for spending time with me!
The only bad part of our trip, leaving Amanda, so sad for us to say goodbye!
Simple living, simple sharing, doing simple things, with love.
Have a beautiful, simple, first day of fall.

I love your blogs! The wreath is simply beautiful. Like you say simple but beautiful. I also like just simple things and doing simple things. Have a great day!
Thanks so much!
Our weekend in the country was just so special.
