just a quick post today. not much going on,a quiet sunday....here's a a cute little punkin head i got for a gift a few years back! his legs are so cute, they just flop around. i came across these prisms that i had given my gram for her birthday a long time ago. her birthday was in February so that's why i bought her the hearts i think. she love to have these hanging in her windows and see the rainbows on her hardwood floor. i decided to hang them in our front window after i put ribbon on them instead of the wire. now when i walk by, i think of my sweet gram and smile.

have a nice evening!

i LOVE fall! i love the colors and changing leaves,all of it. this is my kitchen table..... and the little cabinet in the kitchen. does anyone know what these little pumpkins really are??

went to the grocery store today and it looked so pretty, the hay bales lined up along a split-rail fence with pumpkins,gourds and mums setting around. when i got inside they had a sample tray with sliced apples on it and i usually won't take samples but, i wanted to try these apples. they are really good. kind of a sweet/tarty taste. very good. they looked freshly picked from the trees. now i know all apples do grow on trees but, these just had a "look"about them....;) they are called"honey crisp" apples. you should try them out.

bud really loves pumpkin pie but, i don't make pies soooo i found this recipe for "cheater's pumpkin pie" over at http://bleulune.typepad.com bud said he really liked it and i thought it was good too! best part is, it's easy and no crust!! :)

Have a nice evening and enjoy the beautiful harvest moon!!

since it is officially the first day of fall, although it is 80 plus degrees outside and very humid, i thought i would put out some of my favorite halloween stuff. i love these little guys by linda mitchell. so cute

this little witch came from a mountain village in italy. there are/were three elderly sisters that make these in their home and sell them in a village shop. this witch has blond hair, a smile on her face, a blue broom and yellow shoes! i don't think you can see them but, there are stars on her dress! just a little different than what we interpret here in the u.s.

these are some of the halloween tags i made with"crafty secrets" darling vintage cut outs. they are a favorite of mine. i usually put these all on a grapevine wreath. (i need to go & get a new wreath)

have a nice day!

does this red wooden bucket look to christmasy? i also have a natural color bucket but, thought this added some color to the hearth. maybe i'll put the natural one inside the red one..... today i went to one of my favorite little places in town and was so surprised to see that they had gotten in some "1803 candles". i've heard lots about them, you know that they smell wonderful and burn nice etc. so i got the one called "spice box". it does smell yummy, can't wait to light it later tonight. they are soy candles, so, they don't leave black soot on everything, which is nice, since i'm not to fond of washing windows every time after i have candles lit! lol, who does that anyway right? ;)

here's my little cully napping with his "lamb chop" in dad's chair. poor little guy is really missing bud since he is working out of town this week. around 5:00 he starts watching the door for bud, it's amazing to me that he knows the right time to start watching, even tho bud won't be coming thru the door until friday! he's a smart little dog.

have a nice day!

just been adding and moving stuff around this morning. i hope you can see the old keys i put on this tray. i added some ribbon and thought they looked ok here...? then i got this framed ceiling tin out and sanded it down cause it was way too red and hung it on the wall in the family room. i forgot i had it! it's been in the closet in the basement for probably 2 years now!! i think i have too much stuff....naw....

i painted, this frame creamy white and put it around the hydrangeas on the dinning room table,sort of like a tray? too weird? hmmm i like weird i guess cause i plan on leaving it for awhile! ;)

then i put these apples in this jar and put my rosary beads from my first communion around the knob. seems to me i have been seeing this alot in people's decorating. i probably should have an apothecary jar instead of this kind of jar but, i just wanted to use what i had. this is setting on our entryway table. something different anywho.....

well, i guess i will go back to moving stuff around. more pictures later.have a nice day!

i just love my little cully! he cracks me up, this is how he lays while i'm at my computer!! maybe all dogs do this but, i think it's so cute! a couple of weeks ago i ordered this "wrist key" holder from "bellapinkboutique" what a great idea! since my keys always end up at the bottom of my purse i don't have that little problem anymore!! she has all different kinds of fabric and lots of other fun stuff.

i'm on a roll around here painting everything. i re-painted this tray and love the way it turned out. now it's on to the frame around my entryway mirror and the table in there also! i'm never satisfied for very long and have to change things a bit as you probably have guessed if you have been reading this blog for a while!

have a nice day!

Remember, the day,Sept.11,2001, where you were? I do and I'm sure all Americans do on that terrible day. I'm so proud to be an American where we are free and can live as we choose. I'm also glad we have taken major steps to stop terrorism and so grateful to all the men and women who fight for our freedom.
