White Pumpkin Love

I am really loving white pumpkins this fall. I definitely can see them on my dining room table this Thanksgiving with my Brown Transferware Johnson Bros. Turkey Plates.

White Roses & Ironstone

Who doesn't just love the look of white roses and white pottery?
they are so fresh and calming.






Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Does everyone have thier menus planned and turkeys thawed?

The Chair Stands Alone....

For the past 13 years the office of my "day job" sat above an olde time county jail. It served as a storage area for county surplus, as well as a setting for several movies and TV shows after its closure. Now my office has been moved to a state-of-the-art building away from the scenic town it has been in (sniff, frown) The county held a large surplus sale to get rid of old items that are no longer used. Here is the little chair I bought for $1.00. Less then the cost of a Diet Pepsi! I do plan on cleaning up the layers of dust and painting it eventually

If only this chair could talk, the stories it would tell........


Have a stupendous week.



Finally, another post.....

I have been such a bad bad blogger. It is still a new habit that I need to develop. I need to post more often. I went out of town to the Grand Canyon with my mom and sisters and have been busy with moving to a new office for my "day job". I have however, been thinking about you all in blog land. I ran into a friend today while out starting the 1st of my holiday shopping and she shared with me she had a blog, so I told her I had one too. Now the pressure.. I better get this updated before she sees my outdated blog and does not want to become a "follower".


I know everyone has shifted into full time Christmas decor mode but I am still loving Autumn and the beauty it brings. I am on hold with my decorating because I have hardwood floors being installed in my great room this Monday and then carpets shampooed next Friday before my company arrives from Denver for Thanksgiving. So here are a few posts from my recent world until I get some holiday decor up and photographed. I am dying to put out my mercury glass and greenery and try some new ideas.
