Happy October! I seriously think this is my favorite month of the year. I'm not quite sure why since in Florida we have no brisk weather or changing leaves happening. Maybe it's because I know somewhere right now the foliage is starting to turn orange and red, and pumpkin spice has again taken over the entire world. Leaves are crunching under cute boots, and the smell of wood burning fireplaces is filling the air. Ahhhhhhh.....
Ok, maybe I'm getting a little carried away. But that's how Hallmark portrays October in all of their fall movies so it must be true. Right?? Because we know Hallmark never lies!😝
Anyway, even though it's still 80 degrees outside I'm dying to start pulling out the winter textiles, and my favorite right now is velvet! I'm sure you've seen all the yummy pics on IG and Pinterest full of soft crushed velvet sofas and throws. Maybe you've even been thinking about adding it to your decor this season, but are unsure where to start. Fear not! I have a whole list of swoon-worthy goodies for you. So grab that pumpkin spiced latte, or pumpkin spiced donut or- well you get the idea, and enjoy!
In case you're a little nervous about going too velvety too fast, I've got you covered. This runner is the perfect way to change up your tablescape, and gives you just enough velvet inside those super cute pumpkins! Add a fall centerpiece and voila! It's time to have that dinner party you've been dreaming about.😉
