Fall Porch Time

Hi All,
It's a sunny, beautiful late summer day.  I have decorated the porch for Fall.  Looking forward to all those ghosts and goblins coming to see me, too!  The boys love the porch and sunning themselves.
Enjoy!

Fall is Coming!

Hi All,
I spent yesterday decorating for Fall.  I have a great attic space above the garage where I keep all my seasonal decorations.  I even had my carpenter put a real stairway up to it, so when I am hauling down totes, etc, I am safe.  Here are a few scene of Fall around the cape house.



We are expecting 60's for the weekend.  Excited!!!  Hope you are all getting into the Fall spirit!

More Favorite Things

Hi All,
We just returned from visiting our daughter and family in Vermont.  What a beautiful place.  The best part was, I got to spend time with my Grandson.  He is the best baby.  Well, you knew I was going to say that, didn't you???
Here are a few more of my favorite things...
The sweet, tiny window I had my builder incorporate into our addition, a few years ago.

My movie books and some bibles.  I have been collecting them since I was 17.  They are like old friends.

The little music figurine my Granny bought me, one Christmas.  She said it reminded her of the two of us making noodles in her old farmhouse.  Priceless!

The colonial blue tole lamp I found on ebay, several years ago.
Have a great week!

Favorite Things

Hi All,
Do you ever walk through your home, and as you pass by an item or photo, get a warm, fuzzy feeling?  I do, all the time.  We have lived in the same house for many years, since 1985, to be exact.  It is a part of me, and always will be.  
I thought I might do a series of Favorite Things, once in a while.  Hope you enjoy!
An olden lamp, bought at an estate sale of a dear lady I knew...

The old newel post, built for the house in 1939.  I wonder how many times my hands have touched it?

Me and my Dad, Grant Park, Chicago 1980.  A treasure, the picture and him.

I love transferware.  Pieces I have picked up, here and there, perched on a vintage Early American shelf.

Mid Summer Stroll

Hi All,
Life gets busy, doesn't it?  I have made a trip to Vermont to help move my daughter and her family.  I think they will really like it there.  I will be heading east tho, ALOT, as they took my grandson with them! lol  I mowed this afternoon, so took some pic of the yard.  Enjoy!







Hope you all had a wonderful 4th!
