Things Are Getting Busy Around Here
Hope everyone is having a great weekend! Thought I would post pictures of the last of the Fall decor I have around, because it will soon be history. Hope to get the tree up tomorrow, or Monday at the latest, since the Grands enjoy it so much when they come for Thanksgiving dinner. Then decorate for Christmas the weekend after Thanksgiving. Tried to lighten the picture, but it made it looked bad, so just pretend it is by candlelight. :-) ETA: I just noticed something - my bag of photo albums (that need to be updated) is sitting by the trunk - pretend you don't see that. :-D
Added another pumpkin to this area.
A quail under the cloche.
Added an extra pumpkin to the dining table.
Cute Salt & Pepper shakers.
And last - In the corner by the counter.
Things are going to get busy around here, so don't know how much I will posting the next couple of weeks. I made a major grocery store trip today so that is taken care, except for the fresh items which I will get on Wednesday. Will have a full house starting Tuesday evening until Friday, so house cleaning needs to be done. One of my Grands will be having her tonsils out this week - which she thinks is unfair doing it right before Thanksgiving. However, we assured her we would see that she had plenty of good things to drink and soft foods. I have done NO shopping for Christmas, so need to get started. Also need to finish some jewelry pieces for gifts, put monograms & rubons on candles to be included in small gifts, etc. etc.
Don't ask me why I scheduled to take a jewelry soldering class that is coming up soon!!!!
So - If it appears that I have disappeared - that is a short version of what I will be doing. :-)
I still plan on visiting around as much as I can to see what the rest of you are doing.
Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

Little Treasures
Time for "Show and Tell Friday" hosted by Cindy @ http://romantichome.blogspot.com/ Thanks Cindy for hosting this event again this week.I know many of you have probably seen these old sewing baskets around before. Apparently they were very popular at one time (early 1900's). I got this one at an auction many years ago and it is in good shape - many of them did not survive. Yes - that is where I keep my needles, thread, etc. You can tell I don't sew much anymore. :) The hat stand also is very old and it was given to me by someone who got it at an auction at a very old store in Arkansas. The hat I found at Stein Mart, and I added the flower. No I don't wear it - It is a child's size. An adult size was double the price and I don't wear hats anyway. :-) I just thought the stand needed a hat! :-)
This is my contribution to "Show and Tell Friday". Be sure and visit Cindy to see what she and the other participants have to share this week.
The weather is suppose to be great this weekend, so I plan on getting a good dose of Vitamin D! Have a great weekend!

Outdoor Wednesday
First I want to thank everyone that left the sweet comments on my miniature greenhouse post. After the holidays I hope to add more to it and also work on the San Franciscan doll house. That is the doll house I had to walk away from for a while, because I got frustrated trying to put the flooring in.I am linking to "Outdoor Wednesday" hosted by Susan @ http://asoutherndaydreamer.blogspot.com/ again this week. Thanks Susan for hosting this weekly event. My contribution this week is 3 more of the beautiful horses.
Candy Coated Champion:
Mari Posa:
A Ride in the Country:
Hope you enjoyed seeing more of these beautiful horses. Be sure to visit Susan to see what she and the others have to share this week.
Rained off and on all day yesterday, and a very gray, dreary, chilly day today. Hope it warms up for the rest of the week with sunshine - I am knee deep in leaves again and need to do something about it.
Hope you are having a great week.

Miniature Greenhouse
ETA: I am also joining "Sunday Favorites" with this post since the original was posted in January. Chari at Happy to Design is hosting the weekly event http://happytodesign.blogspot.com/, so be sure and visit Chari to see what she and the others have to share this week.I am late!! I knew there was something I was going to do last night or early this morning. Join in "Show and Tell Friday" hosted by Cindy @ http://romantichome.blogspot.com/ Thanks Cindy for hosting again this week. I originally did a post on my Miniature greenhouse in January and tried to post the original post here, but it was showing all the comments made at that time. I need to go to "Blogging School" . :-) The pictures were put in photobucket before I learned how to make them bigger, so sorry they are a little on the small side.
Bought the terraium container on clearance at HL several years ago. It already had the green crackled paint on it when it was bought.
The potting bench was originally a mini drysink that I whitewashed, and the table and the door I made out of scrapes of balsa wood and whitewashed them. The handles on the door are earring backs. I made one of the plants from leaves off of a faux plant and the rest I bought here and there - where ever they were on sale.
See the kitty playing with a ball.
I added the shingles on top.
Thanks for touring my miniature greenhouse. Be sure and visit Cindy to see what she and the other participants have to offer today.
Have a great weekend!

Outdoor Wednesday
I am again linking to "Outdoor Wednesday" hosted by Susan @ http://asoutherndaydreamer.blogspot.com/ . Thanks Susan for hosting this weekly event.
More of the horses. This one is named "Reflecting Change" - Still on display in front of the chamber of commerce.
"Horse Cents" - It is completely covered in pennies.
Just some more pretty Fall color.

Dab of This and That
What does this picture have to do with this post - NOTHING !!
I just know you are suppose to post a picture on every post! :-)
It is just where I sit many times when reading and writing posts.
JUST A RAMBLE: I do not like this time change ! ! ! It is 5:10PM and it is dark out there!!! :-( OK - On to something else.
PROJECTS: Did not join Met. Monday this week since the kind of projects I have been doing lately are not very interesting - just about as exciting as watching paint dry. Stuff like switching out closets - Warm weather to cold weather clothes. Major trip to WM to stock up on shampoo, hair spray, paper towels, etc., etc. You know - All those necessities in life that are a little less expensive there. 4 different projects that require a ton of paper work - that now occupy my dining table. Why can't I go ahead and get it finished and file the paper away you ask? Waiting for returned phone calls and someone else to do their job!!!!! Cleaning - Yep! Gotta do that occasionally. Planning Thanksgiving dinner and the grocery list, even tho that is not that hard to do since my bunch want the same things each year. Hard to believe I will be putting the Christmas tree up before long - I thought I just took it down!!!!! And the list goes on and on!!
AN OBSERVATION: Visited an elderly neighbor (mid. 80's) a few days ago that is a true Southern Belle. One of our other neighbors who moved back to New England where she was from originally, calls my elderly neighbor occasionally because she said she needed to hear her true Southern accent. :-) She does a lot of cooking/baking for her family and is extremely good at it. She makes her own vanilla flavoring from vanilla beans and vodka since she uses so much , and while I was there she made the comment that it was time to make some more as it takes 3 months to make it - she still had half a vodka bottle full left from her last batch! I almost asked her what she did with the little bit she had to take out to make room for the vanilla beans, but decide not to. :-)
Just a Dab of This and That !
Have a great week!
