Autumn Season Home Décor by Zazzle

 This year I found all that I needed for the autumn season at Zazzle. I shopped the seasonal home decor designs and found uniquely designed pumpkin and sunflower table runners and decorative birch box signs for wall decor or as a table accent.  

Know that before shopping online I did shop locally at home decor and craft stores in my area but really couldn't find the autumn decorations that appealed to my taste.  All of the stores seemed to have the same design, and honestly, I wanted something unique that allowed me to personalize with my own words or upload my own artwork and knew that  Zazzle.com would allow me to shop the independent designers or I could create what I needed by uploading my photographs.

Here is the birch wooden box sign that I bought at Zazzle. The design features a watercolor pumpkin with leaves and a grouping of sunflowers in the background. The birch wooden box signs are a great way to accent your autumn-season decoration, as you can set them upright on a table or hang them on a wall.

Here are the photographs I took of the pumpkin and sunflower table runner that I bought at Zazzle.com.  It looks better than what is shown on the website.  You can use it for your end-of-summer and autumn-season home decor. 

  

 

Living Accents LED Solar Crackle Light Product Review

 This beautiful crackle glass solar light will add a cozy ambiance to your yard and garden. 

Shop for high-quality outdoor solar pathway lights at ACE

I shopped at ACE hardware and found the living accents solar-powered LED path lights and liked the high-quality look of the crackle glass globe and stainless-steel hardware.  I bought six at $9.99 each.

The light was easy to put together. Set the globe into the stainless steel base. Then press the small black button on the side of the crystal light base to change the color from white to multiple colors.   Set the solar pathway lights in an area that gets a minimum of six hours of direct sun. Switch to the on position and you are done with the installation.

My solar lights come on at dusk and stay lit until midnight.  The lights are bright and the interchanging green, red, and white colors look beautiful. I think the living accents LED solar crackle pathway lights are beautiful and I am a very satisfied customer.

 Here are my photographs.

Personalized home decor is a thoughtful gift for new homeowners

Know that many of my friends have bought new homes in the last year and normally I shop locally for home décor gifts but found that nothing was to my liking. I also thought that all of the stores featured the same product designs.

So I went to my Zazzle online store and created my own home sweet home and new home gifts and décor products.  Here are a few of my favorite product designs. Know that you can personalize many with your own words. For example "home sweet home" you can buy as shown or add your own words.

The blue and white gingham pillow was created from handset carrot illustrations three carrots were added, then arranged by hand to look like a bunch.  Then a  blue and white bow was added as an overlay. This collage-designed throw pillow would compliment a country-style home.

Now if you know the person, and know their style and their bathroom colors you may want to buy them a monogram bath towel set. A few years ago I bought my mother-in-law a monogrammed bath towel set and she loved it. 

Normally I don’t buy gifts like this but had heard her say that she shopped at many stores and couldn't find a uniquely designed gray towel set for your guest bathroom. Since I knew she liked lilies I created a watercolor floral design that consisted of pastel pink and yellow lilies on a gray background. I also personalized the hand towel with her initials.

Here is the towel set that I created for my mother-in-law. 

The hand towel features the monogram.

Cute Kid-Style Aprons/ Zazzle Product Review

 

This past winter holiday I bought my niece's darling snowman-designed aprons at Zazzle.com.  I bought the girl's specialty aprons that were personalized with their names and the girls loved their gifts.  Know that I had never bought an apron at Zazzle so I didn’t know what the quality was, nor did I know how the printing would turn out, but not knowing didn’t stop me from personalizing the aprons with the girl's names and shipping the aprons sight unseen.

The winter snowman design was adorable, the ink colors used in the printing were perfect and both girls were excited to see their names on the aprons. 

Here are photographs of the aprons.

The aprons are easy-care polyester with a twill texture finish. They come in three sizes small for kids, medium which is for an adult and hits above the knee, and large which is longer and hits below the knee. There is an apron size for everyone so if you want to create a "mommy and me" look.

The kid apron designs aren’t just for cooking/baking cookies. They can also wear them when they are painting, planting flowers, or doing other activities where their clothes need to be kept clean

Here are a few cute kid-styled aprons that I created at my Zazzle store.
