Today is probably one of my favorite days of the year. It's the day I get to show you how I decorated my front porch for Christmas. And it's the day I join a talented group of decorators as they show off theirs. I'm excited to welcome you to the annual Atta Girl Says Christmas...
Vintage Wooden Bowl Updated For The Holidays
You have no idea how long I've searched trying to figure out what to actually call this thing. It's technically a monkey pod item. Monkey pod bowls and serving pieces were popular in the 1950's (the mid-century modern era). But was it made for nuts? Made for candy? Made for crackers? You got me because...
Fall iPhone Wallpaper Backgrounds
Last holiday season I created some Christmas Phone Wallpaper Backgrounds that were the hit of the Christmas season! OK, so Rudolph wasn't knocking on my door high-fiving me or anything, but they were downloaded quite a few times. So this year I decided to make some Fall Phone Wallpaper Backgrounds to tide you over until...
Bright And Cheerful Fall Porch Decor
Normally I decorate my fall porch with lots of pumpkins, cornstalks, and tons of warm fall colors. A couple of vintage thermoses or picnic baskets scattered about.

A big part of my front porch decor is a fall urn, container or arrangement beside my front door. It just shouts Hello, It's Fall! Let's get this...
DIY Tiered Tray From Dinner Plates
A few weeks ago while wandering through Walmart I found these cute Pioneer Woman melamine plates that came in three different sizes. They're made to mix and match and sort of give off that eclectic thrift store vibe. Although I don't see them online anymore, I have seen them at my local store in the...
DIY Faux Enamelware Basin | Great To Use As Planters
I love to use some of my vintage enamelware basins and washtubs in the garden to hold pots of flowers. It's a good way to dress up (or dress down) your typical flower pots and give them more of a vintage/farmhouse/rustic vibe. But then because the basins are sitting out in the elements they tend...
