Where did the summer go??

Holy smokes is it fall already??  Didn't the summer just start?  Well I guess if it went that fast then I know we had a good time, right?  Between the camping, visits to Wyoming, and an epic opportunity to see the total solar eclipse, I can safely and confidently say that yes we had a good summer.  

Now that we are decorating for fall and bidding summer adieu, it's been super fun to create new decor for maybe one of my most favorite seasons.  We have just rolled out some of our latest wooden decor for home just in time to decorate for fall.

Psst Mom, Don't Read Until Mother's Day

With Mother's Day coming up, I wanted to create a thoughtful and lasting gift for my mom to enjoy.
I thought of the best gift to give her this week, but first we must make it!!  My mom and I share the same love of books and gardening, so when this idea came to me I knew it was perfect.  I stumbled across this quote on Pinterest that embodied both the things we love.  So here's how this customized Mother's Day gift turned out!

Homemade Life is on the Move, But First...

It's official, Kelli's Homemade Life is on the move.  We are doing a split with the the launch of the
Discovery Homes Colorado blog.  Discovery Homes is a real estate and inspiration blog for all things home and gift.  We will be giving tips and tricks for buyers and sellers, but also some home inspiration ideas as well.  With that said, I still want to keep you update on all things garden, chicken, and kitchen.  This post fits both homemade gift and the Discovery Homes Colorado theme, so it's the perfect transition.  Discovery Homes recently had a wave of real estate closing which means it's time for making gifts, and what's better than a glass of your favorite spirit with a custom made etched set of glasses for the occasion.

I created this one for a referral that I received from a friend.  Knowing his favorite spirit was Vodka, I created glasses and a gift tag to have a drink on me.

Just recently closed on a home with a small builder, and it made perfect sense to etch his company name on glasses with a bottle of his favorite scotch.

And last but certainly not least, it's always wine time right? Which makes these glasses perfect for any wine lover, especially for my good friend on her birthday.



We launch our new website, DiscoveryHomesColorado.com, next week Monday September 14th, where you will be able to buy these glasses, and create your own custom glasses for purchase as well.  Come check us out next week, we can't wait for you to see what else we've created.

Guess What Today Is? It's Closing Day

This is always the best day, closing day.  In the real estate market it is the culmination of a lot of hard work, but ultimately happiness on both sides.  Seller gets to move on to new and different adventures, and the buyer is happy to start a new chapter in a brand new home for them. The day wouldn't be complete until a little thank you gift is given.

What do you get for sellers who are moving states, and can't take something too big?  A little personalized welcome decoration for their new home, complete with custom coasters, custom kitchen hand towels, and a handmade monogrammed candle with lantern.

Went to my gifts board on Pinterest for my inspiration.  These coasters were easy to make, and even easier to customize.

Went to my silhouette to design the custom monogrammed stencil for the kitchen hand towels.

And last but not least is the hand painted monogrammed candle with the lantern.

  Congratulations to my sellers, who are now officially off on their new adventure.  Thank you for letting me be your real estate agent, couldn't have asked for better clients!
