A Few Touches of Fall!


It was time to get out what few Fall decorations I have.

Who would have thought pumpkins would be so hard to find!

But because of all the rain we had, they haven't hit the grocery stores as quickly as they have in the past.


My mom actually found me some small ones on her way to the coast!

Yeah!


Even though my son is 18 (18, I can't believe it)he just turned 18 this past week.

He still loves it when I add holiday decorations around the house.

I hope you're enjoying the season.

R-O-S-E-S


I have wanted some pretty flowers in the house.

And since my beautiful pink rose bush isn't giving me the roses I want right now.

It was time to take a trip to the store.

$6.99 for a dozen at Fred Meyers!

Now you can't beat that!

It's 80 degrees and sunny in Portland right now, a beautiful Fall day!

I hope it's beautiful where you are!

A Little Re-Arranging


So, I did a little re-arranging today.

I don't know if it was the fact that it felt like Fall ant it was rainy today or that I'm fighting a cold and do not feel like doing anything.

Or maybe it's because after I looked at the pictures of my corner hutch I was ready to do something a little different.

Whatever it was I decided to play around with a few things.

For starters I decided to pull out an old buttermilk jar I had in the cupboard.

I love the graphics on it and decided to display it.

Then I rummaged through my supplies and pulled out a few old boxes.

You just can't give a new box the beauty that an old one brings.


I've been collecting a lot of old silverware and it's hidden in the cupboards also.

I haven't found the perfect box to put then in but this one will have to work for now.


So, now I'm on the look out for a small old wood box with cubbies or sections to hold my silverware upright.


Or, I might just have to see if my #1 can take some old wood and put sections in this wood tote.

That sounds pretty good too!

Well, I better go, I can't wait to tell my #1 about his new project!

I know he'll be thrilled!

Bottles & Books


Old bottles....

I just love most everything about them.


Their shape...the old metal lids and chippy worn paint...old labels turned brown from age...


Old books.....


Don't even get me started on that!


I found a bunch of old books this past week-end.

Fifty cents a piece!

Now you just can't go wrong with that.


Aren't the covers wonderful.

These are some of my favorite books to find.


Not to mention the sweet pictures in many of them.

And old photos....


Don't even let me start...
