Fall neutrals

A tour around the house of some of my favorite neutrals. I treasure items that need a little love. This ironstone sugar bowl was missing its lid. It came home with me.

I won this beautiful white burlap pumpkin when I first started blogging. Such a sweet gift.

My handcrafted nest is handcrafted from our dear organizer of the blogger party "where bloggers create"

It is a great prop for my picture

My dining room is filled with the things I love

I added a creamy white lace curtain to the bath room. I have a wonderful fall view.

In the raft room I have some of my sweetest neutrals. This dress was at a junk shop for $3. It had to come home with me

My sweet water grass basket is filled with my crafting items

Over my desk are my favorite pics

These 2 sweet friends asked tocome home with me too. I then found this sweet highchair

So now sweet friends I am off for a short trip to see the fall leaves. Will post those pictures later. Di

Halloween Tea Party

It's time to share some Halloween fellowship I am visiting some fun people today

Come on in to the dining room. I've got some tea brewing

I promise I will serve you some freshly brewed tea and goodies. Not plants

I potted some Sedums and Chicks and Hens in my Victorian Silver tea pots and sugar bowls

So then I took out my favorite set.

My tea pot is my moms. She bought this in Germany. I love the white with silver

I love the white against the Paris Grey

I am serving Apple bites and pumpkin nut muffins with Chocolate Tea.

Please stay a while and chat. ,Di

Pumpkin Day

PUMPKIN DAY

One of the local churches has their annual pumpkin sale. I love that white one up front.

The colors of fall are so beautiful. My favorite downtown shop, Rose's Garden Shop.

She not only sells plants but antiques

The plants are vivid

The setting makes my heart fill with joy

These pumpkins are so colorful

I went home with two big, plump ones and a handful of small ones. Di

BOO! I am now ready for fall. It rained all week and hopefully it will now be sunshine and cool. I hope my friends in South Carolina are okay. They received the waters from the hurricane. I found my favorite items and unpacked them for the new home.

My gourd pumpkin is from one of my favorite shops, Cranberry Corners in Winter Park, Florida. I made the BOO banner and the Americana sign is from a fall swap last year at

The entryway is looking welcoming.

I added my ladder and some of my favorite linens. The yellow/gold quilt was in my daughter's room as a child. My grandson placed the little pumpkins on the bookcase. He has a very good eye. The white bucket was my recent birthday present.

I added one more banner. I am so very "THANKFUL" to be steps away from our two grandboys.
