Still At It!

I'm still sorting, purging and reorganizing. Even made a few trips to the local Dollar Tree to pick up some containers. I mean they are only a buck people! A few are now holding court in my kitchen as bins for my potatoes, onions, and garlic. But one of the round baskets is now in our car filled with the reusable grocery bags. 

I just have to remember to take them in the store with me! LOL

I'm cleaning out every cabinet in my kitchen and was shocked to learn how many tea boxes we had piled up. I love tea but this is ridiculous! 

I have them all in one big basket now, but I'm not sure that this is the long term solution for my problem. I have banned my hubby from buying any more tea at the moment though! 

Yesterday I started pulling out the fall decor. I still need to find some fall glasses, and maybe some silverware but I love fall decorating and can't wait to add some more things to my collection ( I like to catch knickknacks on sale and at the end of the season...which won't be long considering stores around here already have Christmas stuff out).

I finally found a spot for my thrift store shelves that I brought at the beginning of the summer. Now I want to change out some of my picture frames and maybe add a knickknack or two. Not sure yet. Will probably be tweaking this area for a while.

Speaking of tweaking. How do you like my mantel. I have a list of "must haves" I want to try and find to add to what I have already done so far. Including some candles, a new wreath and a fall themed runner. Sorry for the quality of some of the photos. I have been so busy that its just easier to snap a quick photo with my phone and keep it moving!

I even made a trip to Bath and Bodyworks this past weekend for their 2 for $20 sale. I love the smell of the pumpkin carving sampler they gave out for free with any home scent purchase. I've already burned one of the Autumn ones and in the kitchen I have been burning a pumpkin spice scent from Wally World. The next area I need to tackle is my diningroom and a couple of spots in my hallway and familyroom. Anyone else as excited about the Holiday season as I am?
