Paper flower chandeliers, oh yes! There's a paper craft inspiration loop going on with Pajaki (Polish folk art paper chandeliers and a Christmas tradition, translated as "spider of straw"), and I sure don't mind. They're so lovely.

Here's a gorgeous spin on the natural Thanksgiving centerpiece from Kayte Terry at CraftStylish. Swoon! Those fabric leaves and those wool-stuffed acorns. OMG, love.

Last Thanksgiving, I wrote about the fun tradition of creating a gratitude tree. Here's a new idea for gathering your gratitude in a colorful and birdy-ful way.

I adore the work of paper-cut artist and nature loving mama Nikki McClure. Oh, I really do...
So bless the folks over at Sunset for bringing us an owl-and-nature-inspired jack o' lantern stencil from the talented artist herself. Swoon!

CafeMom LuminousMom always makes the best crafts. Check out her black pumpkin bats for Halloween. And no carving!

Ladders can usually be found stuffed in the garage, between the toolbox and the trash cans. But believe it or not, they make for some pretty sweet storage solutions inside the home.

If you're growing some hearty autumn/winter vegetables, you probably can't eat them all (do they multiply underground or what?).
Here's a cute idea for making a carrot vase (albeit that's one GIANT carrot) from the folks over on Design Sponge. Wonderful.

Instead of carving a Jack O' Lantern, I've been trying to talk my 6-year old into one of these adorable handmade pumpkins from Sea Pinks ($12), but he's not having it.
My son really really wants to "cut out a pumpkin and put fire in it."
*sigh* I guess there's no way out of this one...
