Fall is all around me!

Fall has officially arrived in Michigan! I am anxiously waiting for the trees to be ablaze with color so I can take some photos. I have been really lax lately keeping up with my blog and photos so I thought I would throw a few at you today. Nothing spectacular, but I wanted to check in anyway. :)

Love my white pumpkins and bittersweet!!

I have done a little creating and made a few tags this week. Numbers 1-12. 

On my buffet...kinda messy, but it is what it is for now. I am working on it...slowly.

Don't you just love this tiny white pumpkin??  It only measures about 1 and 3/4 inches in diameter.

I LOVE IT!

Found it in growing in my garbage pit. :)

I also LOVE my velvet pumpkin made by Becky over at Timewashed. 

A corner of my dining room with more bittersweet.

A lovely pumpkin patch right up the road from me. 

I love the crates...I wonder how much for one of those? lol 

This pumpkin patch is across from our house and is FILLED with pumpkins!

Happy Fall everyone!

Simple blessings

I fell in love with this cloche on clearance at Home Goods a couple months ago. I passed it up the first time and just kept going back to it. I finally put it in my cart, paid and walked out the door.  I have not regretted it. It can be used so many different ways and in so many different settings, but for now...white mini boo pumpkins.

I have had the mercury glass bowl for a few years. I picked it up after Christmas clearance at Target one year...75% off...it was a deal steal!!

I think my blingy earrings add the crowning touch to these pumpkins.

Cherish simple blessings...that is what I want to do this fall and actually all year through. I want to focus on the simple things and not get caught up in all the drama and hooplah that sometimes comes along with the holidays.  Easier said than done I am sure, but I am going to try.



I don't think a person can ever have too many mini pumpkins. :)

Some of my mini boo's have a few blemishes, but that is okay.  I am not perfect either, but I am so thankful that God loves me anyways. I know that He loves me for who I am and who I am striving to be and not by what has happened in the past or what may happen in the future. He loves me unconditionally and that is the most perfect form of love.  Thanking Him for that love today and everyday!!

I actually got creative today and made a stocking from old feedsack fabric with a ruffle and matching roses so I will be showing that soon. Although it looks like it was made for King Kong as the pattern was 24 inches long!! I want to make my own pattern and make a few smaller ones soon too.

Linking up with Faded Charm today for White Wednesday. So sorry that I can't comment to everyone who leaves me a comment. My internet is just too pathetically slow these days. I do try to get to many that don't work out. I will keep trying though.

Chippy white...shabby white...

I have been eyeing this adorable stand at the

antique mall where I have my booth and just

had to give in and pick it up last time I was there.

I suppose I have loaded my pictures backwards,

because first I had it sitting in front of a long

vintage window, then I added the square frame and

next I added the oval one. Just pretend they are the

other way around. lol.

I also took a few pix of my tiny white boo pumpkins

sitting on a spring or two that I had covered with cloth.

Is it SO cute or what??

Remember the cupcake stand that I shared last week

that was at my sister's house with her tiny *boos* on? Well looky what I found at the Goodwill for $2!

It started out black , but hubby spray painted it white for

me. Love it.

Happy White Wednesday!

White Wednesday, Mason Jars & Marshmallows ~

Call this a

marshmallow wednesday

doesn't that have a neat ring to it...

I thought about my teeny tiny marshmallows

and knew I just had to post them today~ I am also loving anything silver these days with that wonderful aged patina~ I know, I know ridiculous to have so many photos of the same thing, but I just couldn't stop ~

I was also playing around one day with part of an

old bodice with lace attached that had

seen better days.

I made a snip or two and then glued it around

this pint size

mason jar~

Then I added some of the old crocheted lace trim at the top, along with some seam binding ribbon and wa la

a candleholder was born. I thought I might make some of these

to put in my Etsy shop,

but just haven't had the time yet.

one of these days...I hope ~

Stop over at Faded Charm and see more WW posts~

White Wednesday Makeover ~

I took everything off of my 5 foot long shelf

in the kitchen yesterday and redecorated the

whole thing for fall~

I purchased the jug that has the hydrangeas in it at the flea market down on the corner this summer for $1.00. Love these sparkly pears and old ironstone lid ~

I purchased several of these small white pumpkins at the festival last Saturday. 5/$1.00. Love old bottles, silver and mirrors ~ along with mercury glass candlesticks and old lace~ Loving vintage photographs ~

and

white~

Have a beautiful day today and be inspired by things

that you love and already have. Just move them around

from room to room and make it look totally different

with fresh arrangements ~

White Wednesday ~

White Wednesday seems to sneak

up on me too fast.

I had a post all scheduled for today

and about 10 pm last night

it hit me that today is Wednesday

again so I had to change it~

Are these the cutest little vintage shoes ever ?? Look at the sweet little buckles ~ I love WHITE pumpkins for fall. I purchased this vintage plate at the Goodwill for 55 cents ~ Yet another view of the precious shoes I wonder what the little girl was like who wore these. Was she a dainty little blonde and blue-eyed sweetie, or maybe a brown eyed girl with a lot of spunk, or even possibly a beautiful curly top redhead ?

Some goodies I picked up recently~ I hope you enjoyed my quickly thrown together

White Wednesday today.

Be sure and visit Kathleen at Faded Charm
