Black & Orange & Repeated

The whole getting a new roof put on the house thing is getting to be very nerve wracking, so much so that I couldn't sleep last night and am starting to get hives. Who knew that having ten strangers wielding hammers on your roof would cause such turmoil. Since I'm a little bummed that I haven't gotten to decorate outside yet because of this whole project, today I am going to repeat a post from last fall. I hope it gets you in an autumnal mood.

Post From October 2010:

Debra at Common Ground is having her fabulous Vintage Inspiration Friday party again this week. The optional theme is Fall and Halloween Tables which I had totally intended to do. I have been making plans for this since she announced the special theme a few weeks ago and dreaming up what I was going to show.

But alas, real life reared its head this week. My son has been home sick from school ALL WEEK and I have been working hard at keeping him happy, comfy and occupied.

Then I found out that my childhood Halloween was tragically cut short for no good reason (you can read about it here) and well, I have totally lost my mojo and just didn't have the energy needed to put together a table that didn't involve paper plates.

So instead I thought I'd take a quieter, slower paced route and just show you a little black and orange for the Halloween weekend. What is more inspiring than black and orange?














Enjoy your weekend and eat some candy corn for me!

BTW, I did some photo processing through Picnik on these photos last year to give them a brighter contrast. I think the process was called Boost.

  1. This is beautiful Pam. I can feel your pain on the roof thing. When we had all those bad storms back in the Spring our neighborhood it was crazy here. People were all very stressed and roofers were pounding day and night. In fact, they are still working on roof replacements here. Hang in there, it's almost over!

  6. Oh, Pam, I know just what you're going through. I am lucky that my husband does almost all the work around here, but the few times we've had workers around, I've gone crazy. It's just uncomfortable and awkward having noise and people around. Hang in there! Hopefully it will be done soon! :)
