Saturday Morning Gather is my weekly newsletter where I share what is going on at Vintage Home and also share inspiration and things I have found during the week that I think you might enjoy.
In case you missed it last month, I am starting something new for the 3rd Saturday of every month.
In addition to the typical things I share on Saturday Morning Gather, I will also be sharing some fun things that some of my blogger friends have found, as well.
This will be a great way to share lots more ideas and inspiration with you from some other peoples perspective.
If you’ve been around a while, as always, I am so grateful to you! I truly appreciate you showing up and continuing to support my blog.
Gather round and grab your coffee or favorite morning drink of choice and let’s take a look at what’s been happening this week.

Last week, on the blog, I shared how to transition your home from summer to fall decor.
If you missed it, and need some budget friendly ideas to ease into fall decor before you’re ready to bust out all of the pumpkins, you can see it here….
And this week, I joined some blogger friends for “Thrifting with the Gals” series as the guest host this month.
I shared ideas and inspiration for how to style your thrift store and estate sale finds.

This week I am in Key West to work on a design job.
I have been to Key West a couple of times, but only for the day.
It was a port for the day when we were on a cruise a couple of times many years ago.
I am looking forward to spending the week there, and being beside the ocean.
For the most part, we will be at the client home working long hours, but will go out for dinner and hopefully a little shopping one day for the client’s home.
I hope to share pics throughout the week on my Instagram stories.
my home and office for the week
and some other amazing things my friends and I found….
Vintage Home Designs
- I shared this adorable pleated lampshade on my Instagram this week, and so many of you loved it! I got so many messages wanting the link.
It comes in 2 sizes and you won’t believe the price! I replaced a shade on a lamp in my sitting area with the larger size for a change, and I am loving it!
There is also a really cute blue pattern one that I bought, as well. - Last month I shared a super cute and cozy outfit that I have been wearing this summer.
I discovered last week that it also comes in a long sleeve version, so I just got one and planning to order another color.
It has been a great travel outfit this summer and still cute for running errands or a lunch date. - I am a sucker for all things pumpkin, so I had to have this cute white pumpkin shape soup tureen. I think it will look cute this fall mixed in with my ironstone soup tureen collection.
There are also small individual soup bowls with a lid that go with it. - And can we talk about this glass pumpkin dome?? It is a bit of a splurge, but it would be so amazing for fall decor and functional, as well.
Living Large In A Small House
- I’ve started decorating for fall and I love the plaid throw and lumbar pillow that I recently purchased from Target.
- These faux florals look amazing in my fall entryway.
- I found these frames at Micheals that I used to frame the FREE Printables that are on my blog.
- I’m loving these fall salad plates that would be beautiful on a fall tablescape.
WM Design House
I know the daytime temperatures are still high, but I can feel the evenings cooling off. Or maybe it’s just my imagination because I’m so ready for fall. How about you? Here are a few things I am looking forward to.
- I cannot wait to slip on my cozy sweater coat for a relaxed evening around the fireplace or throw this blanket over my legs.
- I will add lots of fall decor around my home in the next few weeks, including these gorgeous hammered brass candlesticks and linen throw pillows. I love the soft-washed linen material with the raw edge they have.
- I bought these faux pomegranates last year and loved the pop of color they give on my coffee table in a beautiful wood vase. They are just the right amount of color.
Reinvented Delaware
- Have you seen the amazing fall clothing that Walmart offers in the Time and Tru Line? I’m eyeballing some sweaters to wear with jeans. A zippered sweater in green and one in gray would be perfect for those chilly nights.
- And here are a few more that I am considering for those fall and winter months: a v-neck with cute shoulder details in gray and this gorgeous blue, and this chunky knit cardigan that comes in black and neutral cream
- Our kids live away and like to come for the weekend. So my office often is converted to a spare room on the fly. This 18″ King Size inflatable mattress is perfect for our daughter and son-in-law who is 6’4″! The mattress needed an extra deep fitted sheet and this one is so soft! Maybe they will stay over more often now!
- Two things I use over and over in my kitchen are this magnetic microwave splatter cover (this thing saves me so much microwave cleaning since you can throw it in the dishwasher!) and a roll-up dish drainer that is also a veggie drying rack. It rolls up and tucks away when I’m not using it!
South House Designs
- Transitioning to Fall? Scents are a great starting point. Perfect timing. Pier 1’s celebrating their birthday with 61% off many items. Their highly rated, really large and beautiful $39.95 candles are included!!! At $15.59 maybe I don’t have to decide between Pumpkin, Apple Crisp or Rustic Woodlands (three of my favorites).
- This long lumber pillow from Hearth & Home would be great along the back of the couch. swapping out for two brighter blue and white Summer throw pillows. It’s long enough it would probably fill a loveseat. The texture is perfect for transitional coziness.
- Home Goods always has an amazing assortment of seasonal decor accents. This crystal ball with swirling smoke inside caught my eye. It would be a great focal point in a tray display. Along with this tower skulls.
- Seasonless question: Have you tried Tube Mascara yet? Woo hoo! I love it! My fave, this one from Tarte, is on sale (that never happens) for $15. (shipping included!) That’s a steal. Hurry over while it lasts. They call it lash extensions in a tube. That might be over-selling it a bit, but I do agree it’s great!

Oh, good! I’m so glad your finding some fun things here.
Those lampshades would be amazing on some of my vintage brass lamps1 Thanks for sharing Michele!
Yes, that would look great! And the price is amazing!
You sure have had a busy week Michele. Love the lamp shades, hmmm. the question is which color do I want.
Yes, very busy week! And I’m loving the shades. I got the larger size in the gold color, but I am using the blue ones in a client house this week. Both are so cute!
