This is how we’ll spend our Summers.. How did we ever get so lucky?I’ve shared some of these photos on my old blog before, when we were going through the home inspection stage of buying our house, but I thought I might just show off a bit again for any newbies out there..

Grab three corns together and tie them tightly with twine, then stand back and admire..Pure harvesty goodness.. Why don’t you make some too?

Trust me, you’ll love them.We live in a 100 year old house and we have no fireplace.How is that possible?Now, we have an old unfunctioning chimney, just no fireplace.

It’s OK, house, I still love you..I decided I still needed something mantle-ish to accommodate my decorating needs, so Chris built me a little something..

The top is reclaimed barn wood and the legs are old 2 by 4s that Chris took out of the wall upstairs when we was re-studding Kennedy’s closet.. I’m not quite done decorating it yet, but I’m sharing it anyway.

I wanted to get some hay and maybe a big mum for underneath it, but I then I didn’t.I really love Pottery Barn and would buy everything from them if I could.

I often order gifts for others from their website, but when I saw this idea in their latest catalogue, I thought I could make a decent version of their idea with Kennedy and it would be a fun way for us to spend some time together.Plus it cost me like $11 in materials..

This was such a fun project.We picked up some felt in orange, black and white..
