Corn Husk Garland, a Giveaway and an Anniversary x 2!

Confused by that title? Well stay with us!!
We promise it will all be clear by the time you get through this post!
First things first.
You didn’t think I could possibly be done coming up with ways to use corn husks in my Fall decor now did you? I’m pretty sure the produce guy gave me the stink eye when he saw me coming. It didn’t help that I took the last 2 bags of corn husks but, what’s a girl to do when she has another corn husky idea?
I give you my version of a Corn Husk Garland!
Now, please don’t judge my slightly unorthodox crafting skills.
I am part of the “winging it” breed of crafters!
I tried many different ways to get those corn husks (you’ll need 2 bags) attached to a piece of twine and some of them weren’t pretty…believe me!
But in the end, I found that good old fashioned staples did the trick.

I simply began layering them on top of each other and stapling them to the twine as I went.
As I added a corn husk, I positioned it to cover the staple in the previous one and so on and so forth until I ended up with this winding its way around my dining room.

To add texture I picked up a bunch of wheat from a local garden center.

I gathered them into smaller bunches and crossed one over the other forming an ‘L’ shape and then bound them together with twine.
It added just the right touch of natural texture to my Fall front porch!
And, here’s a peek at some more!
A simple wooden box with a square of linen tucked down in holds an assortment of autumnal treasures.
A lantern filled with sparkly pumpkins and a string of
battery operated lights gives off the perfect subtle glow at night.

I dressed up my outdoor pillows with some leftover orange whispy twine and a felt leaf.

Wrapped up like a present, the leaf almost becomes like a gift tag!

Thanks for letting me share my Fall Front Porch with you today!
And now….about that Giveaway!
Are you following the Picket Fence on Facebook?
Well, if not, now is the time to do it!
In honor of reaching over 1,000 Facebook Friends, we wanted to say a special thank you to those of you who helped make that a one-of-a-kind community. And, for still liking us even though we have been known to discuss everything from potty-training failures to DIY nightmares!
So, we are offering you a chance to win a
$30 Pottery Barn Gift Card!
Head on over to our Facebook page (located in our sidebar) to find out all of the details on how to win!
Let’s see…there was one more thing wasn’t there?
Ahhh…yes…something about an Anniversary x 2.
Did anyone notice the new Profile pictures in our Sidebar?
Well, you see, we sisters here at the Fence have a lot in common.
We both drive Honda Pilots.
We absolutely must talk with our hands.
We sound exactly alike on the phone…and in person for that matter.
And, we share the same
Wedding Anniversary Date!
Yep, we just have to share everything.
(Acutally, we just thought it would help our hubbies remember the date by having it on 10/10)
Heather and her Bama Boy were married 19 years ago today
and
Vanessa and her Yankee were married 13 years ago today

Happy, happy Anniversary to our wonderful husbands!
We love you for so many reasons, including your willingness to put up with the endless phone calls, texting, and face-timing that goes on between our 2 homes.
Don’t think we don’t notice you shaking your heads as you hear us howling with laughter from the other room! But, despite our craziness, you encourage our sister bond and we are grateful to you for it.
You are the loves of our lives…
well…not both of you to both of us….just Bama Boy to Heather and Yankee Boy to Vanessa…ummm…errrr…you know what we mean!
Happy Anniversary(s) Boys!

Love the girls at the fence,

    Your porch looks beautiful, Vanessa! And it’s so cool that you and Heather have the same anniversary. 10/10 is a great date, isn’t? I’m guessing that both 19 years ago and 13 years ago October 10 was on a Saturday. Good thing you got married six years apart! 🙂

    I’m obviously a follower of y’all’s, but I’m not sure if I’ve ever “liked” you on Facebook–off to check that out right now! 🙂

    Happy Anniversary to both of you!! Your wedding pictures are so beautiful…they look like something from a cover of a Harlequin Romance book!

    I love your front door Vanessa. I knew you would come up with something else that had to do with corn husks. They really are fun to work with and your garland is wonderful. I am going to have to try that too. LOVE the idea of putting the lights inside the lantern…I have been wanting to add something to the outside of the house like that for Halloween.

    It is rainy here (finally) and I am so glad to stay inside today and catch up on blogging! It is so fun to visit!!

    That front door of yours is pretty amazing…what a great use for corn husks. Oh, and I stole your pillow wrapped in twine idea, hope you don’t mind. Didn’t want to buy new pillows for the autumn porch so I just tied mine up!

    You guys are just so much fun!

This is such a busy time of year and I’m always This is such a busy time of year and I’m always on the lookout for easy recipes that use minimal pots and pans therefore requiring minimal cleanup. 🙌🏻

This one sheet roasted veggies, sausage and gnocchi definitely fit the bill! And I don’t know how I’ll go back to boiled gnocchi after tasting it roasted. 😋

Here’s how easy it is to make: 

Preheat oven to 425

Use any combo of veggies you like. I used sweet potatoes, brussel sprouts and red onion. 

Dice into small pieces and spread on a sheet pan. 

Slice up the sausage and add to vegetables. Then add the uncooked gnocchi. Drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil and add a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. You can also add any herbs you like! 

Roast in over for 25 minutes stirring once halfway through. 

While it’s in the oven, melt a stick of butter in a saucepan and add in two teaspoons of garlic. 

When you remove the pan from the oven, drizzle the butter/garlic mixture over the top and stir well to coat everything. Top with Parmesan cheese! 

Easy peasy and SO yummy! ✨

The first weekend in December seems like a good ti The first weekend in December seems like a good time for my annual gentle reminder about this month. I don’t know about you but, for me, December is a month of mixed emotions, ranging from joy-filled moments to ones that have me wanting to pull my hair out.

There are so many expectations and we put so much pressure on ourselves to create magical memories. And for years I have felt the added weight of wanting to make sure my family had opportunities throughout the month to grow in their relationship with Christ.

We celebrate advent and read all of the appropriate Baby Jesus books and encourage a spirit of generosity and heavily emphasize the real reason for the season.

But sweet friends, I want to remind you today that one month out of the year does not a strong relationship with the Lord make. December doesn’t define our faith in Christ.

For our families or for us.

There are 11 other months in the year. 11 other months to live out our faith in front of our children. 11 other months to pray with them. 11 other months to help them wrestle through their questions and add depth to their walk with the Lord. 11 other months to encourage them to have generous spirits.

Let’s stop putting so much pressure on this one month out of the year. Let’s be surprised at the ways we might be able to celebrate the baby in the manger without a dozen countdown calendars. Let’s give our kids some grace when they are focused more on gifts because…well…they’re kids after all.

And while we’re at it, let’s give ourselves some grace too.

Grace when we think we should feel all the warm fuzzy feelings about Christmas but we really just want to take a nap. Or have a good cry. 

Grace that reminds us that this month will soon be over and we will have a brand new year ahead of us.

A new year filled with big moments and little moments and everything in between.

A new year to draw even closer to our Savior.

My hope for you is that, as you head into this season, you will be given fresh perspective and that you will give yourself (and your family) permission to just ‘be’. ✨
✨ The first Sunday of Advent is upon us and this ✨ The first Sunday of Advent is upon us and this year I created a super simple centerpiece for my dining room that incorporates the candles we will use each of the four weeks leading up to Christmas. While we will only light one candle each week, I used more than four so that the centerpiece would look a bit more filled in. In keeping with my goal to embrace a softer approach to my decorating, this arrangement works perfectly and helps to keep our focus on the beauty and the meaning  of the Advent season. For more ideas like this, check out my previous Advent post! ✨

#advent #adventcandles #simplechristmas #wearethehomemakers
In this season of motherhood, my soul is feeling a In this season of motherhood, my soul is feeling a bit more tender. When Christmas rolls around and I no longer have wish lists that include Lego sets or dollhouses, I find that I want my home to reflect this craving for all things gentle.

So our hot cocoa station this year is much more simple and done in a neutral color palette that just subtly blends in with the rest of the decor. It still feels festive and is definitely still “user friendly” but it’s just a bit less…well…less.

And, that’s ok. It’s not that this area won’t ever again have bright colors (maybe even pops of red!) but, right now I’m happy to have things this way.

With all that is going on in the world right outside our door, my desire is for our home to truly feel like a respite. I want it to be where we come and let our guard down, our heart rates slow and to be flooded with a sense of peace in knowing that here is where we can just simply be. I want it to be a place of rest. Rest from the constant onslaught of news and information. Rest from the seemingly small struggles of school and jobs that can so often feel like big struggles.

And, most importantly, we rest in the comfort of knowing the One who is Sovereign over all and is the reason this month is so very special and sacred.

Many blessings to you dear friends as we kick off this wonderful season! ✨
Next week is first Sunday of Advent. And contrary Next week is first Sunday of Advent. And contrary to popular belief, the celebration of Advent is VERY different from just simply doing a ‘countdown to Christmas’. It’s not about having little drawers filled with candy or doors to open with prizes inside. Those things are so much fun and definitely help to build anticipation as you head closer and closer to the big day.

But Advent, from the latin word ‘adventus’ meaning ‘arrival’ or ‘appearance’ keeps the focus completely on celebrating the arrival of the King who came in the form of an infant.

This is one of our favorite family traditions and over the years I’ve figured out how to incorporate the Advent candles into my decor without using the traditional wreath. I hope this gives you some ideas and inspiration as we head into this sacred season. 🌲

Why do I start decorating before Thanksgiving? Bec Why do I start decorating before Thanksgiving? Because it’s the Saturday after and my house is almost completely ready to start the season! So I’m sitting with my coffee and just soaking it all up knowing that now I can focus on shopping, hosting and preparing our hearts for the start of Advent. The only thing left to do is get our fresh tree for the front room and then the decorating is done. 

Starting early is a gift I give to myself and I’m always grateful for it! 🌲

I share this recipe every year because it’s JUST I share this recipe every year because it’s JUST.THAT.GOOD! 

And I have a confession ...I’d rather have cranberry sauce smothering the turkey on my plate than gravy any day!! And this, this right here? Well it’s the best (and easiest!) cranberry sauce ever!! I eat on crackers and sandwiches and sometimes just by the spoonful. It’s so yummy! And I’m just so very thankful for all of you that I’m going to leave the recipe right here instead of making you go to the blog to get it. I promise you won’t regret having this on your Thanksgiving menu but be warned...you may find yourself up in the middle of the night sneaking some helpings of this deliciousness. Or maybe that’s just me!

Ingredients:
2 pounds fresh or frozen cranberries
2 oranges
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup white wine.

Instructions:
Wash and pick over berries, removing any that are soft. Peel and dice oranges removing any seeds. Combine all ingredients in a large pot. Bring to a full boil. Reduce heat and continue cooking until cranberries pop open and mixture is thickening.
For best flavor, prepare and let stand for several days before using.

✨I want them to feel like this is a place where care has been given to details (but not to the point of being too stuffy or too busy or too overwhelming). 

✨I want them to feel like there is peace here.

✨I want them to feel like they are welcome…because they are. 

My home is a reflection of my heart and my heart is a reflection of the ONE for whom I live and try to honor and praise all of my days, but especially at Christmas.

How do you want people to feel when they come into your home?
