Pop, pop, POPCORN BARS ~ An adorable & budget-friendly snack station for your Fall party:)

I just love the ongoing trend of treating guests to a snack station when you throw a party!  And these popcorn bars are perfect for any fall shindig, pumpkin carving, Autumn wedding, school snack, or even as a fun treat for trick or treaters on the porch in lieu of passing out traditional candy.

I don't know about you, but these make me want to start planning a Halloween hayride straight away!  Just see for yourself . . .

Aren't those just fantastic?  And best yet, popcorn is such a budget-friendly option that won't break the bank-but still packs a big punch!  A definite win-win, don't you think?!

Terrifically Tailgating ~ Unleash your Team Spirit!

As the days cool down (well, not here in Southern California but hopefully in your neck of the woods) and that unmistakable crispness of fall fills the air, it is football time!!  And whether you are a major fan or a complete foe of this (wonderful!!) time of year, you can't help but love a good party....or you wouldn't be over here on Juneberry Lane, right?

Here's a bit of inspiration on how to turn your run-of-the-mill tailgating party into a such a special little shinding ~ you'll keep your fanatic friends smiling even if the scoreboard doesn't look the way they want.  Take a look . . .

I can't think of a better way to keep your spirit up throughout this football season!!  Hope you had an awesome Labor Day and can't wait to fill your fall with all sorts of autumn goodness!!

Hay bale Heaven: Creative Seating on a Budget . . .

Thinking of having an outdoor affair...perhaps an Autumn wedding, a Fall Harvest Party in the backyard, a Halloween shindig, or just a few friends over for a rustic good time?  I just love the look of outdoor couches and chairs as the temperatures drop, but adding excess rentals to your event can definitely prove costly.

That's why these big old bales of hay just fit the bill when it comes to setting up an unforgettably chic & affordable special day.  Rustic & neutral enough to fit any palette, throw a few of these down and toss some pretty fabric and pillows on top and you have seating for as many as you need in no time!  Take a look . . .

Burlap & Lace ~ A Simple, Vintage Dessert Table . . .

Late summer calls for warm sunshine-filled days, a cool afternoon breeze, and soft, earthy tones to keep the heat at bay while we ease our way into fall.

That is why this Burlap & Lace dessert table by Jenny Cookies is so absolutely stunning...perfect for a late summer or fall birthday party, baby or bridal shower, or a small wedding and just bursting with vintage charm!!  Take a look . . .

There is something about that gorgeous lace that makes me swoon!  I would like a thousand dresses & tunics made out of that material:)

Pretty cake stands on antique suitcases look ever-so-nice!

And what about these tissue poms; also made with lace . . .

Loving these little pies with those rustic, wooden spoons . . .

Quite lovely, right?  I am so giddy about the autumn birthday possibilities for my sweet baby girl on the way right now:)  What a wonderful  to start the week!!  Have a great one!
