A Bit more Fall & Some New Goodies

Created By My Colonial Home

Well this week I have been busy with ‘business’ things so not much has been happening in my little world , no more gallivanting around the countryside like the last two weeks– but I did manage to buy some White pumpkins and get them out on the porches and I put out a few Halloween things but not much.  My decorating is finished!

Today Doug’s cousins are coming over for a little get together – a few can’t make it so it’s going to be a small group but we’ll still enjoy the day and then we’re having a Soup/Sandwich Supper.

There are so many wonderful shows coming up this Fall – only wish I lived in several places at one time to attend them all.  I think besides the Oaks, PA Wholesale show late October and then the Simple Goods Show the first weekend of November that’s all we’re going to be doing. Except for the trip to Arkansas and little jaunts up north we haven’t gone anywhere since January and I’m getting antsy legs!

If you look in the side bar to the left I added two new items for Fall – my Candy Corn Hugger and Mug Mats.

A couple weeks ago I ordered some Weavers Cloth fabric from a dear blogger who was selling it. I think now to date I bought all she has (the other order arrived today).  It’s coming at a good time too because I’m preparing for next Summer’s Littiz Craft Show. Need to get stitching some goodies.

Oh, last weekend we went up north to the Wisconsin Dells for their last hurrah for the Summer – I found a couple things at the Flea Market and some great hand made mittens at the craft show.

Another Pewter top Syrup Pitcher and a much needed Pastry Blender – it has a metal handle so it should fit nicely in my hand.

And the warm mittens made from old sweaters

Nothing else is going on here so I’ll close for now – just wanted to check in.

    Karen, both of your porches are gorgeous! I love all of your pumpkins and mums. The candy corn hugger & mats and the pumpkin tree in the first picture are adorable. And you found another pewter top syrup pitcher - how awesome. I am going on an antiquing outing tomorrow and I will be on the lookout for one.
    Have a great weekend,
    Sue

    Everything is so pretty, as usual, at your house. We used to have a punched tin chandelier and we took it down and sold it on EBAY. I have kicked myself so many times; wish I had it back!!!

    Karen,
    What a great job you always do! I love everything! I managed to snag some globes for the bathroom fixture, got them washed and hung, and so far it's just been errands! Not the fun ones either! I am HOPING to have a little fun time with my mom, she's coming in about two weeks! I am SO excited!
    Have a great weekend!
    Hugs,
    Renee

    I haven't even started with the fall decorating this year. Remember last year I didn't at all because of the new flooring. Definitely will start pulling some things out this week though. You've inspired me to get started - especially with "antiquing" my pumpkins!

    Love all your Autumn decorating Karen and your pictures all look so professional! I am really envious of the large pumpkins, I am desperate to get my hands on some here in the UK, but there just aren't any about yet.

    Have a great week,
