Fall Decor

Wow! With Halloween already past us and Thanksgiving right around the corner, I found some pics that are not spooky and just right for the transition of Halloween and Thanksgiving. How much longer after Halloween do you leave up your decorations? Do you decorate alot for Thanksgiving and how? I have always been a little stumped on how to really decorate for Thanksgiving. I usually just try to incorporate more orange and other warm colors. I still leave pumpkins up too. I think these picture are perfect examples of how to keep some fall decor around through Thanksgiving, even though you may be itching to decorate to Christmas!

I love Fall!

Fall is in full swing here in Michigan..well almost nearing the end actually! November is just around the corner, and then it starts getting real cold! I do not mind the cold, or the snow..just the wetness and wind! The other day it was so windy, it was blowing leaves off the trees left and right and it looked like a mini leaf blizzard. Hence, our yard was COVERED in leaves and I decided to do a bit of raking with the help from my little guy. These are the pics I got.

Halloween Creeps

So hubby and I went to a Halloween party last weekend

and it was alot of fun! He went as a creepy guy and me, just a hodgepodge of things! People did NOT even recognize who he was! We cracked up..it was a good time! He wore this old, old sweater and tight navy blue polyester pants and a fanny pack. Plus the beard and glasses. (That's his real hair) J/K!!

Rain Rain Go Away!!

Happy Friday- or should I say Happy Dreary Friday to you! Geez...it has been raining for like 12 hours straight and I am sick of it! I don't think the sun has come out in at least 3 days now and it depresses me! I need to get some new pictures of new items in my etsy shop and I need sunshine for that! Please come out sun! :) So we have a busy weekend (as always) with lots of stuff to finish up and start! I am going to attempt to re-cover an ottoman my friend gave me. I promise I will try to get pics of the process! So I will leave you with a picture of some pretty mums from my porch. They remind me of sunny fall days. Oh, how I want sunny fall days and not rainy fall days!

Old Table

I found this old table at an estate sale I went to a couple weeks ago. I saw it right when I walked in the door and knew it was coming home with me! The price fit too! 15 bucks! I don't quite know where it's new home is going to be- I am sure it will move around the house like alot of my items do! I loved the bright blue door and the old handle. Too cool! The top is very rustic looking, just how I like it!

New On Etsy

Check out some of my new pillows on etsy! The shop is starting to really pick up with the holidays fast approaching! Better get my sewing machine roaring!

Canoe Trip

A couple weeks ago we went up north for the weekend for a little getaway. The weekend was GORGEOUS and we found a little canoe place to go canoeing. Both my husband and I have only been canoeing a couple times, and the lady warned us that it had a fast current and lots of "hazards" to look out for. I was a bit nervous, but it ended up being a blast! It took a good 3 hours to get to the pick-up point, but it was a super busy weekend and we actually had to wait in line almost 45 minutes to get a canoe. They were swamped. But it made for good laughs as everyone was bumping into eachother and tipping! Here are some gorgeous scenery pics I got!
