I've got another gigantic post for you today. Go let the dog out, grab yourself a cup of coffee and settle on in. Because it's my annual fall front porch post, people! No just throwing a mum on the porch and calling it a day. Oh no, if the neighbors aren't thinking that I've gone...
A Touch Of Fall Home Tour
I am so excited to show you my fall home tour this year! I mean, me and fall are best buddies. We go together like apple cider and hay rides. Indian corn and cornstalks. Pumpkins and mums. Well, come on in. Don't be shy. No need to take your shoes off, we're pretty casual around here....
Hanging With My Peeps At The Country Living Fair
I had a blast at the Country Living Fair this weekend. I went on Friday with my niece and did a ton o' shopping. BTW, new shoes and walking all over the fair do not make for happy feet. Oh, and if you are going to sit on a hay bale to eat lunch, make...
Yard Sale Oddities?
What's the oddest thing you ever bought at a yard sale? A chipped Garfield coffee mug? A can of Billy Beer? An upholstered chair with a questionable smell (you know what I mean, no one wants me to type "pee" in my post, do they)? Yeah, well I bought a pair of wild turkey legs...
Easy DIY Fall Wreath
This easy to make fall wreath tutorial is a inexpensive DIY project you can whip up this weekend. You probably have half the supplies in your house already! I needed a new fall wreath this year, since the chipmunks did a number on my old one. Who knew they would want to eat my acorns?...
Vintage Brownies And A Winner
Yesterday, I went to a neighborhood yard sale and found some vintage Brownie box cameras. For $5 each!!! The one on the left is a Brownie Junior Six-20, manufactured from 1933-1936. The one on the right is a Brownie Target Six-16, manufactured from 1946-1951. In my Useful Links page (found underneath my header photo above)...
Out With Summer, In With Fall
Today was the last day of summer. Yeah, I know about the autumnal equinox and all the jive, but to me summer has always ended on Labor Day. I think it comes from my camping days. When I was a kid we spent the summers at a campground. Each Labor Day we packed up the...
The Giant Pumpkin
Do you remember my humongo front porch pumpkin from last year? Yeah, that one. The one that weighed 100 pounds and almost gave my husband and I hernias trying to get it up on the porch. When it was time to decorate the porch for Christmas last year, I tossed it into our garbage/junk/compost pile...
Yard Sale Fun
While looking over my recent blog posts, I realized that I haven't had a good "Look what the heck I found at a yard sale and you didn't!" post lately. Time to remedy that little snafu (I'm using the 60's definition of snafu, not the current one that is an acronym with some bad words...
