Mitten Moments

Welcome to my Mitten Moments! 

Random moments from my week that I am sharing with you!!

Can It Be?

My middle son’s wedding is just a few weeks away!

I had a hallelujah moment this week, when I finally found my dress.

I think the Heavens may have parted….just a little, as I have been on the hunt for some time.

It’s blue and sparkly and oh, so pretty! I can’t wait for you to see it.

How in the world am I old enough to almost have TWO married sons??

Fall Is Coming!

Fall comes blowing in, this year, on September 22nd. I know so many of you have your fall decor already out.

Wanna know I secret?

I don’t have any out…not even a little.

Have faith, I will be working on my fall decor this weekend and next week, so stay tuned. I also have a fun and easy project I’ll be sharing.

For now, you can see my fall table and how to create it, from last year. The dishes were a great find!

It Happened Again!

As many of you know, I have a subscription to The Pioneer Woman magazine. It comes out quarterly and I keep getting two. Did I pay the bill and did Mr. Mitten?

Who knows, but this week I gave away my duplicate.

My friend, Cindy, from Reinvented Delaware was the winner!

It’s so fun to share!

A Good Saturday and Sunday

I am super excited for today, because I’m headed to an outdoor antique market with my beautiful daughter-in-law.

A day with her could never be anything but good!

I have a couple of specific items in mind that I’m looking for.

Wish me luck!

Oh, and in case you didn’t know, its the first Sunday of the NFL season! Me and my guys are here for it!

(Don’t mind our blurry picture…my guys are still cute blurry!)

And Now…

Here are some other WONDERFUL moments, I found this week:

This beautiful cheap wreath for fall

These amazing candles

These beautiful blue and white drapes & guest room

This step by step on how to create aged copper

These cute crochet chain pumpkins

I hope all the moments of your Saturday bring you more joy than you could imagine!

    Kim, so glad you found your dress for the wedding. Yay! I know how much you are looking forward to the wedding.

    We are big sports fans over in this home especially football both college and pro. And, now it is even more fun when you see one of your children as a weekend sports anchor even though it’s in a different state.

    Enjoy, sweet friend!

Can anyone tell me what this beautiful yellow flower is? 🌸 I thought it was a decorative vine in my pot…but I guess I was wrong. 

We had heat in the 90’s and crazy wind the last couple of days. Because of that, I’ll be spending part of the morning dead-heading my flowers. 

My sweet family will also be celebrating Father’s Day! I’m so excited to spend the day with my sweet grand girls, kids and Big Al. 💖
