COZY FALL AMAZON FINDS YOU'LL LOVE

Happy Fall, sweet friends! I know the calendar has not turned the season yet, but this past weekend we had flannel weather in the Midwest! You know by now that I live for all things cozy, festive, and pumpkin-spiced, and when September rolls in, I’m ready to refresh my home with textures, scents, and colors that feel like autumn hugs. And what better place to find seasonal treasures than Amazon? Thank you for joining Jill and I for our monthly Amazon link up!

 

I rounded up some of the cutest, coziest, and most stylish Fall Amazon finds that are already making my home feel festive. Let’s dive in—because it’s FALL Y’ALL!



The Must-Have Fall Blanket

This chunky knit luxe faux-fur blanket is basically like wrapping yourself in a marshmallow. Soft, snuggly, and perfectly neutral, it’s the kind of blanket you’ll want for chilly movie nights and sipping cocoa by the fire.

 

Woven Tray

Fall decorating is all about texture, and this woven tray brings it in spades. Style it with pumpkins, candles, or mugs of cocoa for the perfect seasonal centerpiece. I put mine in an ottaman.

 

Olive Green Cable Knit Cardigan

Fall fashion, done right. This cozy oversized cardigan pairs perfectly with jeans and boots. The olive-green shade screams autumn chic while keeping you cozy for pumpkin patch strolls or coffee runs.

 

Seasonal Pillow Covers

Swapping out pillow covers is the easiest way to refresh your decor. These black-and-white polka dot Pumpkin Pillow Covers with buffalo check bows add that playful yet classy fall vibe to any sofa or bench.

 

Apple Cider Candle

If I could bottle the scent of fall, it would be this Hello Fall Apple Cider candle. The warm, spicy sweetness instantly makes your home feel like you’re baking pies and sipping cider—even if dinner is takeout! AND what a great gift, packaged and all!

 

Festive Fall Mug

Can we even do fall without a MUG that says, “It’s Fall Y’all”? I think not! Perfect for sipping coffee, cider, or hot cocoa while embracing those crisp mornings. Bonus points if you add whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. I’ve literally owned this mug for four years and it’s my go to every fall!

Pulled from my Dishwasher...Just look at that Leopard Pumpkin. So cute!


Golden Leaf Stems

These faux golden leaf stems are a budget-friendly way to add warmth to your arrangements. Pop them in a vase for instant autumn beauty.

 

Hello Pumpkin Sign

Because every home needs a touch of pumpkin love! This little sign is a sweet accent for shelves, mantels, or entryways.


Knit Throw Pillows in Rust

Bring in that rich pumpkin spice hue with these chunky knit pillow covers. They’re cozy, textured, and give your living room that perfect fall-on-the-couch-and-watch-Hocus-Pocus look.


Every single one of these items is just a click away. Whether you’re decorating your living room, refreshing your bedroom, or updating your wardrobe, these finds will make your home (and you!) feel like the epitome of fall fabulous.

 

So, friends, tell me—which one of these cozy Fall finds is calling your name? Have you started decorating for Fall? I’m thinking about getting my mums this week! Remember when I was in the Pioneer Woman Magazine for my Fall Front Porch?

You can get a copy of that issue HERE or this year’s Fall issue HERE.

TURNING UNDER STAIRS STORAGE INTO A COZY BOOK NOOK

Friends, I’m so excited to share a little project that turned an overlooked space into one of the coziest and cutest corners! You know that small, slanted storage spot under the stairs that usually collects toys, bins, or random odds and ends? Well, it just got the sweetest makeover into a children’s reading nook for our grandchildren, and I couldn’t love it more.


Here’s where we started—just a plain little space that held toys and doll strollers. Functional, yes, but not very inspiring.

But with a little vision, this under-the-stairs area transformed into a magical retreat for little readers. Remember when I showed you my inspiration HERE.


Now, it’s a place where imagination blooms! Our remodeler added shiplap-inspired walls, a fresh coat of paint, and we added the sweetest details to make it warm and inviting. The blue shade is called Stardew from Sherwin Williams. Wait until you see what else did with that beautiful blue!

Pennant Bunting Banners HERE //Rug HERE

On the walls I hang festive Bunting Banners and a “Once Upon a Time” wall sign that sets the perfect fairytale tone. Mr. Nine spray painted it white for me. 

Wood Sign HERE // Chair HERE (it folds out) // Star Pillow HERE // Sunshine Pillow Similar HERE

The cozy factor comes alive with a soft, cloud-like rug underfoot, a little children’s chair, and pillows to snuggle with. (Everything came from Amazon except that darling sun pillow, which was too cute to resist elsewhere.) Low-profile wooden Book Ledges display colorful storybooks at just the right height for little hands, turning the walls into part of the design.

Book Shelves HERE // 2 Favorite Books HERE and HERE

I’m actually not done with this space yet. Several little things I want to add. But this nook has quickly become a favorite spot to curl up with a book, imagine new adventures, or just enjoy a quiet moment. It proves that even the tiniest corners of our homes can be transformed into spaces full of love and joy.

Alphabet and Numbers Signs HERE


So, if you have an unused nook under your stairs, consider turning it into a space like this—you’ll be amazed how cozy and magical it can become. And the best part? Almost all of it can be found right on Amazon, making it an easy and fun project to recreate.


From storage to story time—what a dreamy transformation!


And note…. Since next Monday, the first of the month, is Labor Day, Jill and I are changing the Amazon link up to next Monday, September 8th. See you there!

TRIP TO CAPE COD & NANTUCKET

Hi Lovelies! How’s your Summer? My precious mama and I just got back from a trip to Cape Cod. We took a ferry for a day trip out to Nantucket too. Such a charming part of the East Coast. Hope you enjoy these photos!


We planned this trip a year ago when we saw a piece on the nightly news about the hydrangeas out on Cape Cod in a town called Chatham! You know we love our flowers and the photos of the hydrangeas had us mesmerized!

Look how cute mom is in her blue dress! 

My Favorite color of hydrangea


Compliments galore o this outfit. 
The pants are so comfy! 
 

One tip is to fly into Providence, Rhode Island versus Boston. It’s a much smaller airport so we stayed the first night there and then a car service picked us up to take us out to the Cape with a shout out if you’re in the area to Elite Car Service because they were amazing!

Our Driver, dave...our return with Jordan was equally wonderful!

We stayed at a little Inn on Chatham called The Old Harbor Inn the couple that host us were just precious and we had a charming little coastal room.



And how about these matching pajamas called Lighthouse Keeper from Printfresh, lol? How perfect to find these since they had not only lighthouses on them hydrangeas as well! Get them HERE & HERE

 

One thing to note if you ever go out to see the hydrangeas in July is that they have on the cape what’s called the hydrangea festival but it’s not really a festival per se. It’s a garden tour. We thought this was going on all week long during the time we visited, but it was only in certain towns and certain days. We got lucky that our day in Chatham was the morning we were leaving, so we were able to still catch the gardens. But you do not even need to go on the tour to see beautiful hydrangeas all over Cape Cod! Everyone we talked to said they were particularly spectacular this year due to the spring we had.






LOOK at these up close!



The day before we left, we took the ferry out to Nantucket! I have to say I didn’t love it as much as I thought I would. 


Yes, the architecture is charming and the cobblestone Street on the main drag is just precious with great shops, but I think I liked the Cape more! It was so incredibly busy, no wonder people that live there get frustrated with all the tourists coming in. Plus, it rained the afternoon we were there and I can tell you, Nantucket, you need more covered spaces, lol! Everyone was miserable. Vineyard Vines was giving out free ponchos, lol!



That street, and the detailing, color on this 
house was different and a fav of ours!

The ferry takes about 80 minutes. Hindsight is 2020 but we wish we would’ve got a car and drove out to the outlining areas to see some of the bigger homes and beaches.

before the rain, lol!
 And, this years version of the all white Farm Rio Dress HERE
My advice to you if you’re planning a trip out to Cape Cod and want to see more than one town go ahead and rent a car. We are glad we did not have one and it worked out for us but if you wanna pack a lot more in, I would suggest to do so. And from what we heard from people, it appears people that go to Martha’s Vineyard and people that go to Nantucket have very different opinions, lol! I’ll leave it at that. And I also want to note some people out east can be incredibly rude, lol! We kept our kind hearts, of course, and everyone did compliment Mom and I How cute we looked in our outfits, which was very sweet.





My Dress HERE (under $30) // Bag HERE // Hair Bow HERE




Which Shot is your favorite?

 

One last question of the day, what do you do when people stare excessively? We encountered a lady who would literally not stop staring at us even when you met her gaze so tell me what you do when you get stared at? Lol!

 

Happy Week to you my Beauties!
