Small Fall, So Far

 Fall is here folks and I took a little time to make a small display.  Ya know how life gets busy and we just cant do all the things we wish we could.

 I sure have enjoyed looking around all over blogland and seeing the beautiful fall displays and pumpkin parties.
 Since my fall is small so far I wont be at any of the parties.. Just not enough to show off.

 Here in NC we have every color on display during this season.   I decided to make my basket with lots of things I love to see, so I added pumpkins , gourds, florals and seaside items too.
 Now if I only had time to stop and gather lots of goodies I see growing on the side of the road- awww- sigh.  I dont have that kind of time but I certainly do enjoy natures bounty . I know everyone thinks their state is beautiful but seriously, NC has it all and I love it.

 Its been in the mid 50's when I get up in the mornings and the air smells and feels so good. I absolutely
 adore this time of year , so I try to enjoy as much of it as I can with family and friends locally.
  We're going to the Farmers market this saturday and I know all the displays and produce will be Great. 
I'll be getting a few pumpkins to cook and freeze so I'll do a recipe post then as well as a tut on how I cook my pumpkins.. easy peasy- just the way I like it lol..
 I happen to have someone semi famous in my family and she is all about the Pumpkin:)  more on that later.

 My rooms- living family and dining are all on hold for now as I attend to other issues. Its very unlike me to be this calm and peaceful when a room isnt complete, but this time, I'm fine with it.  Life is good and when its all meant to Come Together, it will .. 
I'm joining the Make It Pretty Monday Party
 I am wishing all of ya'll a wonderful weekend.. Enjoy every moment~!

Makes my Heart Smile

I know its early but I love this idea for my dining chairs.Simple and sweet and could stay all winter.  I'd need to refresh the pine stems but thats easy cause my neighbor lets me clip what I need from his tree..
 Not sure what it is about the simplest things that makes me Heart smile, but this does.

Williams Sonoma art Knock Off

 I got a email from Williams Sonoma and the first thing to catch my eye was their art work section.

 I do love their items and have bought several things from them in the last few years but nothing close to an item of this price.   I had to look twice to make sure my eyes were not deceiving me.. Have Mercy- as my Nana would have said...

    I really liked it , I wanted it for my new living room redo and it would go so well in the style I have chosen.
What style is that you ask? Its "California Country Ecclectic Potterybarnish Sonny Sonoma"
 style.
 Try saying  that 5 times fast:)
 I had a large frame in my stash from a yard sale..bout $2.50 as best I remember.  I had some script wrapping paper from ballards  .  If I put those 2 together would I too have a WS Farm log- well no, but I'd have script in a frame for about $3.00 total and I knew it would make me smile. So I did it and I was wrong about just smiling..  I was Grinnin' like a Goon the minute I hung it and every time I've walked by it since.

 sorry- no way I took it, could I get the room to stop reflecting in the glass.

 My neighbor came over on tuesday for an ice coffee , she looked, she grinned, she wants one for her living room..  I told her if she finds a frame , I'll fix her right up. Its her birthday in 3 weeks, so she needs to hurry up and find that frame..joining in the party below--
