Owl Pumpkin



  Rainy here in NC this fine fall morning.

   This décor is courtesy of Country Living and was just too cute not to share.  I have a real " thing " for owls so of course it caught my eye..

 Of course you could change the tie fabric  or leaves to my it uniquely your own:)

Fall of the Past


  I have a few things going on here at the ole homestead:)   so I thought I'd stroll down memory lane and invite ya'll to go with me.

  These photos are from 2012...its a bit sad to admit I don't know where most of the items I used disappeared to ..  That's what happens when you move and from a home you've been in 17 years, in a week~!     I hope someone else is enjoying the items in their fall home.  Every moment has a silver lining and to think its bringing someone else a smile is good enough for me.
 
I'm happy I have the photos though..



Thanks so much for taking time out of your busy day to visit me.. I always enjoy having you here..

Dining room Mirror



  I saw a mirror at the Wayfair site but the price seemed a bit high to me, so I didn't put it in my cart..

  On Wednesday I stopped in my local goodwill store since I was right across the street from it getting my groceries.

  I was just strolling along and something caught my eye.. A large mirror with a dirty, brownish frame.   Luckily I didn't get turned off of it at first glance..  Walked over, looked at the tag, 12.00.~!
  It costs me more than 12.00 when I stop at burger king:) so I snatched it up and home I went..

  The mirror was easy to remove, then a good scrub n rinse of the wood frame and let dry..

 2 coats of rustoleum white spray paint and in 3 hours it was back together and ready to hang..

  I'll take a full shot of the dining area when the plates and art go on the wall.. But I just couldn't wait to show you my 15.00 mirror.. 12.00 -mirror    3.00 spray paint..  cheep- cheep- cheap enough:)

here's the one I saw at Wayfair..  I like mine better and am so happy I waited and found a great price on my new treasure.

 
 
  Thanks for stopping in to visit me.  I always look forward to it.
