It seems like the mouse traps in the garage aren't keeping the critters outside this year. I brought the crow inside to try to keep them in line, but he just sits there and stares at them. You'd think he was stuffed or something. At least the cat is trying to scare them away....
Vintage Halloween Party Decor
I'm throwing a vintage Halloween party. Sort of. I don't know if I've ever done this on my blog before and I feel a little silly about it. But I have to confess. I'm lying to you. Well, not lying lying. It's just that this whole post is what I will call a "fantasy vignette"....
It's The Giant Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
We finally harvested our giant pumpkin. Pumpkins to be exact. We ended up with two of the big guys. Yes, the larger one is setting on the ground. Yes, it was too heavy to lug up onto the porch. Yes, I had to google whether to use setting or sitting in that first sentence. If...

Vintage First Aid Kit Part II
I finally got up the nerve to open my first aid kit. And it was filled with . . . First aid supplies 🙁 Not as good as $100 bills, but better than a severed finger. In case you are wondering what I want a first aid kit for, I sort of fell in love...
Thrift Hauling In The Burbs
You know how I show you guys what I found when I get back from the thrift stores and yard sales? Well, the younger peeps call that a "thrift haul" and I guess on YouTube it's all the rage to post what you bought. Yeah, it's a thing! Who knew I was all cutting edge?...
Vintage Green Royal Typewriter
There's a new Royal in the house. His name is George. Expecting a photo of William and Kate's Prince George? Nah, they won't let me get close enough to them for that. Something about a restraining order for trying to jump the palace walls or something like that. So in the meantime, I thought I'd...
