Here's another one of my boxes that I use to decorate with at the holidays-it looks great just sitting on a side table!
Can't tell you why I bought this or where I'm going to put it-I've run out of places to put things-I think I thought it might be a great storage piece for my husband's office across the street-ya right-I've taken up his office and work-out room with my extra stuff-do you ever think this kind of thing can help a problem of buying more stuff-not sure-but it helps to have a place to put it. Or there's the option of selling it next year at Ella Mae's Barn -I'll have to think of that one over the winter and get it home first to find a place to put it!
This is one of my favorite things to do with pumpkins-the first thing I do when I buy them-throw out the spring/summer flowers(wish I could save them like Marydon does!) and replace them with pumpkins-doesn't feel so empty that way!
Would you please pray for my Grandma Ella Mae and our family? For the past couple of years she's been losing her eyesight to Macular Degeneration and just this past Friday fell hitting her head and bruising her hip. She's was in the hospital for the weekend and has just been put into a nursing home so that they can give her therapy. This is a very difficult time for my mother, as it is for anyone in this circumstance, but we hope that she will regain her strength and be able to come home. There are other underlying issues that I cannot speak of so I'm asking for prayers for that also. Thank you as we put her in God's hands!
Sorry- Sold within the first hour listed
I bought this pillow from a friend's antique shop several years ago. The shop had many primitives and usually the only time I decorate with these colors is the fall. She made this pillow out of old sweaters and then would stuff the inside with old clothes she would buy in bags from a thrift store that was stained or ripped that they couldn't sell. It makes the pillow kinda lumpy like old ones and is a great way to recycle. She was great at picking out sweaters that had great textures!
I live about 30 minutes from where I work and sometimes I go to my parent's house for lunch or dinner when I'm working. Just last week my mom made chicken and a baked potato-and when she cut it open-she says -that looks like a pair of mittens-do you want me to take a picture? I said sure(knowing my bf-Tete-and other sometimes post food-I usually don't because I eat a lot of peanut butter on toast or cereal-I don't cook at all!). So here's one of those freak things of nature-maybe it means the weather yet to come!!!
I went garage saling a couple of weeks ago and picked up this step-stool. Most people would say-why'd you buy that? I guess I like the color, I thought it would be a good display piece, good to put potted plants on in the spring, cute for the kids to sit on to take pictures, fun to use as a plain ole stool-
Have I convinced you yet?

I hope you all are enjoying this time between Halloween and Christmas. I find it's a time to really slow down, reflect, and just enjoy the beauty around us!
With such pretty fall weather here(not to last long in Illinois!)-I decided to take full advantage of it-and what better way than a good old-fashioned soak in a tin tub full of leaves!
Last year she gave this one-it has a surprise to it-one side is a doll head .......
and the other has a bear head!
I couldn't resist-was at Walmart at 6:00 am-yes-that's early-was on my way to work an grabbed these for only $1.00 each. Can never resist a fun wig!!!

Went to work on my booth yesterday and these sweet little baby shoes came home with me. They were in a glass jar with a bunch of baby shoes-I thought these were the cutest and they were only $5.00..jpg)
Remember the post about the Mad Gasser house( August 19th) where I got my free farm table? Well, the gentleman who gave it to me also had some old iron beds that he saved from the house and they were in the back of his truck. I asked him about them a couple of time over the last 2 months and he told me he was checking with his relatives to see if anyone of them wanted them. I, of course, told him that I would be happy to pay for them but after two months(even though they were still in the back of his truck) I was just about ready to give up(not that I needed them!-just really, really liked them!). He finally gave me a call and I went by and bought them both for $40. I was pretty excited because they also had the rails(most beds don't). They're in a little rough shape-but I think that makes me like them more. The top one has a great green patina and both have wonderful details! Not sure what I'm going to do with them-but I'll think of something!
