Thank you all for your advice on my Thanksgiving cooking dilemma. After much thought, we decided to buy one of the roasters and give it a try. What I did not realize is how HUGE these things are. So after Thanksgiving I will have another dilemma. Where to store this massive thing. But enough about...
Drawers Turned Cubby
I don't normally spend too much time on the Pottery Barn site. Like their decorating style, just don't like their prices. And when you can make most of the stuff yourself or find similar things at garage sales and flea markets, it just doesn't fit into my frugal little mind to spend a lot on...
Hedge Apples And Other Thrifty Finds
It's been a little while since I've shown some of my thrifty finds, so I thought I'd show you what I found this week. Don't get too excited, because it's a short list. Ta-da. This is a footed silverplated bowl that I bought at an estate sale on Friday. 50% off, so it was only...
Pumpkin In A Birdbath For Fall
We're pretty much traditionalists when it comes to pumpkins around here. No fancy schmancy, artistically carved gourds at our house. No pulling out the electric tools to carve spooky scenes. Just a knife, baby. Nope, we go for the simple, yet effective triangle eyes and nose here. What says Happy Halloween more than that? Sometimes,...
Sears Has Nothing On Me
Last week I showed you the chippy metal toolbox that I bought at the farm sale. I didn't really know what I was going to do with it when I bought it, but I knew it probably wouldn't be for its original purpose. I spruced it up a little bit with some yummy hydrangea. And...
The Rural Society Antique And Garden Show
I thought you might enjoy some scenery from the farm sale this last weekend. There seems to be more and more of these types of sales cropping up around here (cropping = farm talk) and I just love them. It's all about the ambiance of the farm, you know. Being out in the country, driving...
Fall Farm Photos
I stopped by my favorite farm yesterday to get some seasonal shots of fall foliage. I was a little too late for that I think. Although there were a few trees with pretty ones left, a lot of the leaves were on the ground already. Bummer. So I decided to shoot the animals on the...
Porch Decor For Fall
I have really scaled back in what I am doing inside and out for fall decor this year. Last year, I was all excited to do a lot of decorating for the seasons and sort of went all out. This year it's much more laid back. I sort of go in spurts like that. And...
Vintage Fall Decor Vignette
I realized the other day that I love to show you what I bought at the thrift stores and yard sales, but rarely show you where it ended up going in the house. And decorating with the thrifty, vintage items is half the fun of buying them. So, this is my fall entranceway table vignette...
