Faux Caramel Apples and Chicken Wire Planters on #HappinessisHomemade

We have now survived the first week of middle school. Our 6th grader was more than ready to start even if Mom and Dad weren’t. Now we can relax for a few minutes and start getting into our new fall routine.

In order to get more done in my limited alone time I am getting more organized. In case you need some help in this area you might want to check out these 10 simple organization strategies.

WELCOME TO HAPPINESS IS HOMEMADE!

We have a new hostess joining the Happiness is Homemade crew starting this week. Please join me in welcoming Viktoria from Awesome Alice! If you are looking to learn hand lettering or maybe try your hand at some DIY projects, head on over and check out her page, follow her on social media, you know the drill.

Welcome to another week at Happiness Is Homemade. Wow, it is the middle of August. Kids are back to school, fall ideas are appearing and soon we will be sharing Halloween posts (I did see a couple already). I even saw some Christmas things at JoAnn fabrics the other day. Yikes, I am not ready for all of that. What about you?

FEATURES FOR HAPPINESS IS HOMEMADE #284

 I love anything with lemons and especially Meyer lemons. These shortbread cookies would be so tasty with a cup of tea. They are calling my name. Stop byThe Curious Frugal for the recipe. 

I love this vignette with sunflowers and lemons. So fresh and sunny.  You can find great tips on how to create An Uncontrived Vignette over at My Hubbard Home.

Do you wish you could take a bite out of these yummy caramel apples? Well, you just might be fooled since these are faux caramel apples. Only Lisa, @Fresh Vintage by Lisa  could think of something so creative. 

I am in love with these Chicken Wire Planters. How cute they look on her table! You can make your own, just head over to Farmhouse 40 for complete instructions.
