Alfresco dining is one of my favorite things to do! Any time of year is ok with me…but early fall is my top pick overall.

Crafting with friends is one of my favorite things to do! Not only is it a chance to get creative but to catch up with my pals! Late summer is such a great season to craft with natural items right from the backyard. Pine cones, leaves, and acorns are plentiful this time of year making it easy to come up with endless supplies, making it an affordable activity too! I’m excited to share some easy ideas for hosting a tiny craft party for friends or for your kiddos too! It’s really fun to see each person put their own creativity to work. So gather together and make something pretty with the help of Mother Nature!
