Granny's Hoosier and more

Hi All,
I am trying to do better about this blogging business!  I really do miss all of you.  Life gets busy, sometimes.  I know you who have visited me before have seen my Granny's Hoosier cabinet, but I wanted to highlight it today.  I had a new pantry built in my kitchen, where her cabinet used to sit.  I decided to move it in the dining room.  I really like it there!
I will do a post soon, on my new pantry!

I decided to decorate it with my vintage onion pattern dishes

A closer look

Sweet dishtowel

That is Granny and the little music figurines I gave her, many years ago for Christmas.  She and I always made noodles together.  This reminded me of us!

Just added this for fun.  This is in my bath

I love all things Colonial or Early American.  Can you tell???

Christmas Cheer!

Hi All,
It has been awhile since I have posted, but I wanted to share some Christmas Cheer with you!  I hosted our yearly Christmas party with my tennis group.  I made a traditional dinner which included, honey baked ham, loaded hash brown casserole, coleslaw, apple cranberry and sage stuffing, rolls and pumpkin pie cake for dessert.  Hope you all are having an enjoyable holiday season!

Merry Christmas!

More Fall

Hi All,
The temps are cooling off in Illinois.  That makes me want to nest in my beloved Cape home.

I bought a pumpkin cookie jar this year, very similar to Mary's.  I won't bother to explain who Mary is, as you must know by now what a huge fan I am of The Mary Tyler Moore show?!

Finally,  got my chalkboard door done!
Hope you are having great Fall weather!!!

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!
