Halloween Decorating

Greetings Everyone!

Hope all is going well on this Monday.

I feel like I have spent days getting ready

for the Online Needlework Show which

will start October 21st.  I think I have

finally finished loading everything, so

I am going to take a break and send you

some Halloween decorating in my home.

This is in the kitchen.  We didn't put 

cabinets all around the room.  Opting instead

for this really olde Virginia pie safe.  I keep

a lot of kitchen stuff in it.

Fireplace in the keeping room.

In the breakfast room.

This is in the breakfast room again.  I got

this wonderful cornucopia several years

ago at the fantastic Waterford, VA

craft show -- a three day juried show

of the most amazing things.  It is always the

first weekend in October.

The mantle in the living room, which is 

the more formal part of the house.  It really isn't

formal in the strickest sense, but just not

primitive.  I love both looks so I try to 

combine the two.

Corner cupboard in keeping room with

my collection of old iron stone.  I

need to stop collecting all of this stuff.

Tomorrow I hope to give you a sneak peak

of my new Delivering design for Christmas.

Have a great night with 

"Many Happy Stitches",

Fun Finds

Hi Everyone,

I am happy to report that I had a really fun time

yesterday.  It started out with my physical

therapy, which wasn't all that much fun,

but it is helping.  So that is a good thing.

From there I went into Olde Towne

Fredericksburg and did some antiquing.

I never seem to have the time anymore,

but I am going to have to start carving out

some time for me.  I realize how much I

miss looking, if nothing else.

Happy to report that my looking paid off,

for me and the dealer.  Found some great

stuff that I'm going to put on Etsy soon.

In the mean time look what I found

for me. 

I have a pretty large collection of the

tomato pincushions.  A lot of them are

made from fabrics other than the typical

red.  Yesterday I found another one that

had faded to orange, so I stacked it along 

with some others that I had and made my

version of a stack of pumpkins.  I

just love it.

The other wonderful thing I found is this

great stool.  I love anything scrolly.

(Is that a word?)

Sometime I will have to show you all

of my stools.  Told myself I didn't need

another one, but you can see I didn't

convince myself.

Just had to share.

Have a great weekend with

"Many Happy Stitches",

Sandra
