Happy Sunday, and welcome to Dirt Road Adventures! This is where we review all the exciting events behind the scenes, on the website, and the sources of inspiration I discovered online during the past week. This weekly recap ensures you don’t miss any of our adventures.
Hey friends, I hope you’ve had a good week. I’m spending the weekend with some of my besties in N. Myrtle Beach. Two of my long-time girlfriends moved here a few years ago, and we miss them being in Asheboro. But we keep the Fab Five tradition going with regular gatherings in Asheboro or N. Myrtle Beach. We are fortunate to have wonderful weather, enjoy some time on the beach, and dine at waterfront restaurants like Patios. We even got our photo taken with Bernie!

7 Must-Have Fall Home Decor Items To Shop For Now
To stay organized, I shop seasonally in seven categories. Here are my top seven must-have Fall home decor items, DIY projects, and other decorating tips. Although we are only at the beginning of Fall, many items are already on sale to make room for Christmas decor.

Thrifted Finds This Week
I have started looking for thrift store items for the fast-approaching Christmas season and have had some luck this week. A few weeks ago, I found this snowy print by Bob Timberlake, and this week, I found this smaller one by the same artist.
I also found two tiny oil paintings and had to have them. The attention to detail is impressive. In addition to my snowy art, I found a silver cream and sugar bowl, a decorative tray, a chunky candle holder, and a pair of ceramic candlestick holders for only $1.00. I have plans for all these goodies and will share them in the coming weeks. I can’t wait for your opinion on their makeovers.
