Fall wreath and craft ideas

Fall is definitely my favourite season. Pumpkin baked goods, cinnamon and apple cider, sweater and boot weather, I love it all. Last week I picked up a relatively inexpensive grape vine wreath at Michael's and some miniature glittery pumpkins (check out their flyers for coupons off regular priced items to save a couple bucks).

I found some orange flowers and feathers at the dollarama and set to it.
Of course there are loads of possibilities with wreath making, but I wanted something simple.

Three orange flowers, light green ribbon, some "feather" looking leaves and half of a glittery pumpkin make a cheap but beautiful door decoration!
Nevermind paying 20+ dollars at the craft stores, this cost less that 15$!
Plus you'll have leftover items to create other things such as the hanging door knob decoration I created using jute twine :)
Enjoy crafting with your little ones or, with a glass of warm apple cider after a day at the pumpkin patch.

Happy fall!

New home, Newly Married....

Hello again! 
It feels like forever since I have posted on this blog (it's been two years!) but hubby and I have been very busy in the last two years with our girl. We have moved three times (relocated to a new province!) and are now finally settled in our new home. We were married September 1st and what a great day it was.

Hubby + I
I am hoping to get back into the blog scene as I am ...well quite frankly bored at home. I have lots of upcoming posts, so stay tuned. If you'd like to explore my other social media outlets, check out my twitter @caitHooper & follow me on Pinterest caithooper :) 

Thanks for checking out my blog. Come back again for my newest DIY posts, rants, and flea market findings

Cheers
Caitlin
