had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends!
Hopefully I’ll be back to show you what I’ve been working on and
haven’t finished yet! I’ve been really busy plus watching kids.

Part Two of Vermont

Hi everyone, Happy Veteran’s Day!
I think I left off on my last post when we were visiting Stowe Mt. After that
we went to Ben & Jerry’s where we took a tour of the factory ate ice crème
and watched and listened to an employee tell about how it all started. It was
very interesting!

I couldn’t tell if this was chalkpaint or not but I thought it was pretty neat, we
were at a restaurant in Burlington, Vt. and all the doors were like this.

Hubs and me with the Green Mountains in the
background.

After saying good bye to our relatives we took a ferry and
crossed Lake Champlain, it took about 30 minutes.

They frown on having docks on the lakes so they have boat
houses instead that you can see on the left. We took the
scenic route home which was beautiful!

Hope you enjoyed seeing Vermont, I loved all the scenery…it is a very beautiful state!
I still wish I could have brought their Good Will home with me.LOL
I’m also working on something, I have it all primed but today it turned to cold to
work on maybe in my next post I’ll give you a peek at what I’m working on!

Home from Vermont



We are home and what a great trip we had, we drove to Burlington,  Vermont and had Buster with us who
travels well, he likes the car so it was easy having him in the back seat!
They told us we missed the peak of the leaves by a week but it couldn’t be helped because we
were going there for my sister-in-law’s surprise birthday and didn’t have a choice.
I did take pictures with my iPhone as much as I could plus tried to see the sights myself, so
here we go:
This is across from our nieces house where we stayed, notice all the evergreens!

Another home to the right of her place!

It seemed like a lot of people decorated around their mailboxes
on this street! 

vermont 026
I was pretty amazed at the look of this Goodwill… a lot of people there too, I scooped up
some Halloween decorations they looked brand new, they had everything! As you can
see Burlington is a really nice place. I asked where their Target was and they told me they
don’t have them there because on there businesses the signs are to be very small no big blingy ones
high up in the air, so Target said “no way” I was a little disappointed!  I saw a Lowe’s sign and
if I hadn’t really looked I would have never seen it, it was really strange oh, and you should
have seen McDonald’s arches,  they were maybe as high as my shoulder!

Saturday  night was surprise party so during the day we drove to Stowe Mountains,
you can see the neat General Store they had, but expensive!

The church was beautiful, to bad about the wires!

Lamp and Boxwood Wreath

Hi everyone, how are you? I’ve been reading how the tree leaves are finally
turning in some of your states, ours trees get more naked everyday what with some
of the windy weather we have had.
I did want to show you what I did after seeing this on 21 Rosemary Lane,
I loved the look of Rosemary’s lamp so I decided
to do the same but then remembered I had one in the basement that wouldn’t need the
spray-paint.  
 
Boxwood wreath 007
 
Didn’t take me long to wrap and hot glue the twine, I also took the burlap shade
from another lamp and put it on this one. The only thing I’m missing is the cute tassel
Rosemary used on hers. 
Boxwood wreath 008
I think it turned out great and such an update on something that I already had and
didn’t cost a penny! Do you like my two little pumpkin spice tins? I’ve had them for
years and always bring them out every fall!
 
Boxwood wreath 010
 
Now I want to show you my boxwood wreath that I got with my credits
from Josh and Main,  I’ve always wanted one! I have it hung on my window that
came from an old milk house.
Boxwood wreath 001
 
 
I’m trying a little bit of red in my home and remembered it was down
in the basement, at first I thought I had sold it but finally found it,
so relieved!
I love ribbon that is used on some things that you buy, this was
wrapped around throw so I always save them to use.
 
 
Boxwood wreath 003
 
So hard taking pictures of this wall! I hung on the narrow wall
coming into the livingroom/diningroom
 
Boxwood wreath 006
 
 
Remember to stop by Rosemary’s blog to see her lamp, much more amazing
then mine I promise!
 
Thanks for stopping by hope you have a nice evening!

A Little Bit of Fall Entryway

    
Hello everyone! What a windy warm day we had today, leaves were just flying off the trees and
it was so nice to have a warm day because soon they will be gone until next year!
 
I wanted to show you my entryway for fall, I had the front door opened to let more light in
while I took some pictures. As you come inside the closet is on the left of the entryway!

I tried not to over do with the fall décor in here so a little garland over the mirror and
wreath on the inside of the door and a pumpkin that was a giveaway win is all I put in
here!
 
entryway fall 2014 002
 
I had an empty space to the right and figured on using a chair but the door swings open so
it had to be a smaller type chair which I don’t have right at the moment. So I used some wooden
boxes and a carpenters tool chest and I finally found a place for this frame, that is meant to
be hung empty. I’ve had it for awhile and had bought it at Michael’s on sale!

Love how this all looks together, gold, beige and grapevine with a burlap bow!

Found the pictures at a yardsale in a bottom of a box and she only wanted a $1.00 a piece!

Fall Love

Hi Everyone, It’s getting colder here…Saturday night down to 37, it just came to fast for me.
I’m in the house today because it’s really windy out and hard rain coming in as the forecaster
says, so I’ve been taking a few pictures of fall around here for you to see!

Since I’m stuck in the house I wanted to see if my fall plates and glasses were okay for the holidays, plus found and washed the napkins.
My centerpiece is from around the house this year also except for the mini pumpkins I got those at Walmart!
Fall vintgnets 006
Love the glittery pumpkins on the tea cart they seem to shine on the tray!

I’m thinking of painting the hutch a light gray because when the walls in the kitchen
and where my desk is are gray we won’t be painting the livingroom or diningroom…so
I’m thinking that it would be a good idea to do the hutch gray! I do like it white but I
think it’s time for a change.

My son was throwing this rug in his garbage when I stopped him I’ve always loved it and
now it’s in my diningroom!

The hoosier always gets a pumpkin and an old pumpkin pie spice tin!
