October Memories

I have been a slacker, lately, when it comes to posting.....We have spent 2- 4 day weekends out of town plus preparing for the Fancy Flea in Plant City....just feeling overwhelmed.

The two weekends in October were absolutely beautiful! Wonderful weather....fantastic time spent with family celebrating birthdays!

How about this GRANDson? Gheez did I have fun with him this visit! He is so much fun to watch....growing so fast, playing patty-cake, running in his walker, crawling around and pulling up on everything!

Our son, daughter-in-love and grandson

My husband and I at the pumpkin farm.....

The entire family was able to make the trip....so glad to have my daughter and her hubs could make the trip too....

The boys took the jeep "off road".....better take this thing to a car wash in a hurry!

Thanks, Grant and Mandi, for hosting the weekend!

The next weekend was the sisters' trip to the Country Living Craft Fair in Stone Mt. Ga.

The fall harvest display was the meeting place for lunch......incredible color here.

Vendors everywhere....fabulous merchandise....so much to choose from!

I had my photo made with Cari.....HGTV's star of "Cash and Cari".....she had an amazing booth!

I can't thank my sisters enough for the lovely weekend! They organized everything....even a scavenger hunt for the birthday presents!

It is stunning how two weekends away can make you want to retire......not old enough yet...

The color change and cooler weather was refreshing....ready to tackle middle school again!

Thanks again, Sisters! What a blessing you are to me!

Fall Decorations-Kiss Old Rusty

Thanks to Sabrina, my sister, I have a terrific collection of fall decorations. This morning I was putting together for the front porch welcome center near the front door. It turned out to be 1/2 day project....I asked my husband to clean the front lights....ended up with new lamps at the front door! Blessings!

My favorite new element....and the star of the show.....is the rusty barbed wire star from Atlanta!

It is paired with the rusty bedsprings pumpkin, also from Atlanta......

The clay heart is from Paris.....a trip with sister#3 last spring...her favorite pottery shop right down the street from the Artist Park, Montmarte.....

This clock was found in Paris at L'Objet qui Parle.....It took me over an hour to clean with q-tips all the dust in the cracks of this piece....

The yellow wagon is a gift from my other wonderful sister.....How cute is that scarecrow?

The fall plaque was created with Modge Podge, a canvas, and Ellison diecuts from scrapbook paper...

cut 6 leaves, 4 pumpkins and

small letters to spell fall.....glue down one sheet of fall paper, arrange the elements and glue following directions on the Modge Podge container.....

I spruced up the fall wreath with some hydrangeas.

The wheat bundle helps fill the space against the white wall of the house.

I did use a real plant in the shabby chic planter box....I grow ivy in the front of the house....

This is a cute, four-sided wooden pumpkin with metal leaves hanging from the natural bow....

Thanks for stopping by.......I hope to see you again real soon.

Please feel free to leave a comment. I enjoy each one of them so very much. I know folks are busy and don't want to take the time....go ahead.....make my day...
