We respect your time.

This newsletter will take

3:33 minutes to read.

Start a short list of fall essentials you may need to pick up before the season arrives, like a sturdy rake, fresh candles in autumn scents, a cozy throw, or a new doormat, so you’re ready to welcome the season in style.

Get Your Home Ready for a Cozy Autumn

As summer draws near its end, I love to give my home a cozy vibe...wrapping in warmth and inviting textures with items that are not just beautiful, but functional as well. Here are some picks to welcome fall’s snug charm:

Bedsure Fleece Throw Blanket: Soft, lightweight, and irresistibly plush, this blanket wraps you in comfort while still being perfectly practical. The rich forest green feels just right for fall and transitions beautifully into the holiday season, making it a cozy staple you’ll enjoy for months.

PurpleEssences Maple Leaves Cotton Table Runner: This hand-woven cotton runner featuring rustic maple leaf motifs is durable, machine-washable, and perfect for daily autumn styling.

Dobuyly Brown Quilt Set Queen Size, Boho Plaid Patchwork Bedspreads Coverlet Set: This boho plaid patchwork coverlet blends warm autumn browns with a cozy, lightweight feel. Perfect for layering in cooler months, it adds instant seasonal charm to your bedroom while remaining soft, breathable, and easy to care for.

Topfinel Fall Decorative Throw Pillows Covers: These corduroy-striped square covers add a warm, western-modern touch to sofas, chairs, or the bed. They slip over standard inserts for an instant seasonal refresh. Why have a ton of decorative pillows, when you can have just a few and switch out the covers now and then?

3 Pcs Mason Jar Centerpiece with Wood Tray and LED Lights: This charming farmhouse-style set features three mason jars nestled in a rustic wooden tray, accented with warm LED lights for a cozy glow. Perfect for dining tables, coffee tables, or entryway displays, it adds instant seasonal charm and inviting ambiance to any space.

On another note...

When September rolls around, I love pulling out my hobby supplies...and now I’ve curated a fresh idea list for you:

Creative Hobbies & Crafting Essentials You’ll Love

The Power of Psithurism

Have you ever paused during a walk in the woods and listened to the gentle rustling of leaves stirred by the wind? That soft, almost whisper-like sound has a name...psithurism (pronounced SITH-ur-izm).

The word comes from the Greek psithuros, meaning whispering. It perfectly captures that soothing, meditative music nature makes when air passes through trees. Many people describe the sound as calming, even healing...almost like nature’s lullaby.

Adding psithurism to your vocabulary isn’t just about knowing a new word. It’s about noticing and naming those small, quiet joys in life. The next time the breeze brushes through the branches, you’ll have the perfect word for the experience.

"I look forward to every issue of your newsletter because the tips actually work! They’re simple, doable, and I can see the results right away in my home and daily life. Thank you."
