Guest Post ~ Homemade Caramel Sauce

Today I am guest posting over at Wayward Girls Crafts sharing an awesome fall recipe.  Caramel Sauce.  Mmmmm.  Seriously.  Go check it out because it is pure awesomeness.

Also, I announced the winner of NewMomDesigns, so check it out to see if YOU won!   I know some of you are waiting for the tutorial on my felt acorns.  I am postponing it until I hear back from a little a blog I know, so keep your fingers crossed for me that they will pick it up!  In the meantime, scroll on down and check out these yummy caramel shots then head on over to Wayward Girls Crafts to read my post!

Homemade caramel sauce is the perfect fall gift.  I gave one of these for my friend's open house.  On the top I wrote a little note, "Your new home is too sweet."  I wrapped my felt acorn ornaments around it, so she could use them for Christmas.

This would make a fun gift for a friend for any occasion or with a little note "An apple a day keeps the doctor away" for a thinking of you gesture would be a cute Get Well gift.

So read a little bit more about me and find the recipe here.

Bedspread Dilemma

I didn't think it would be so difficult to find a bedspread that I loved within a reasonable price.  Overstock, West Elm, Crate and Barrel, CB2, Pottery Barn, Z Gallerie, Sears, Bed Bath & Beyond, Macy's, Belk, Target, Kohl's, Arhaus, Amazon, Dwell Studio, Anthropologie, Moxii.   Yeah, yeah.  Some of those I checked out were already out of my price range but I was hoping for a good sale item.  I can have dreams, right?  I am torn between making one or buying one.  I would just rather buy one to save myself some time, but there are advantages to making one myself.  What is even more difficult is I have not picked out a color scheme.  Well...
Originally, I was sticking with these colors.

My curtains are already the second color down.  They might be slightly darker.  I feel peaceful and relaxed when looking at this colorway.  If you have not checked out Design Seeds, it should be on the top of your to-do list.  Errr, second after reading my blog.
So I find myself flip flopping about the colors.

Now if I can pretend for a moment in time that money is not an issue, here are some spreads that I do love.

Check out that scalloped edge!

This one is just fun, youthful, and colorful.  Love it all.

This is actually a sheet set, but I would totally turn it into a duvet.

This is a beautiful Mexican coverlet that would go well with my above mentioned colorway.

Because I can never get enough gray and chevron.

What would you do?  Is there a website or store that you like that offers a great selection of bedspreads?
