HOLEY MOLY PUMPKIN !

So we went to our daughter's for Thanksgiving .................and she had this pumpkin sitting on her wine cabinet

When we were getting ready to leave and she was filling plates of leftovers for everyone - she asked what I wanted.

Your pumpkin......I said
And out we walked with it ( plus leftovers lol )
They made the holes with a drill bit for doors  - 2 sizes - all over - took them all of 5 minutes apparently!
It looks pretty magical at night !

I even grabbed the faux leaves she had wrapped around the stem

And that little ceramic pumpkin and gourd in the background?
They were on her table and promptly went in Mama's purse
( I'm ok taking knick knacks out of my kids houses - they take furniture out of mine ! )
I've had that lantern for years and years - never dawned on my that it's kind of pumpkin shaped !

The flowers that were in this bicycle plant stand died this week so the timing was perfect to plop a pumpkin inside
The poor man's version of Cinderella's coach - in this version a coachman has to peddle his butt of to get her to the ball - not quite as glamorous I know but it's better then having to walk to a ball, right?

I've got another pumpkin coming up - for someone who never decorates for Fall - I'm sure on a roll
Somebody stop me !

Have a wonderful day everyone
Hugs,
Me

HELLO FALL !

That explanation point in the title is deceiving ............
I'm NOT excited about Fall - not in the slightest - but it's kind of here whether I like it or not and so I've been changing things out a little here and there.

I took my wood slice sign and added a piece of paper saying Fall because I didn't want to paint the word on to it ( hey there's 3 other seasons to decorate for ! )
It's resting against a galvanized tray I found this summer.................

Now - all of a sudden - my wood " slice " feels like it has limitless decor potential !

Some of  you may remember I did both sides of this - the other side looks like this

It usually sits in the enclosed front porch - but I decided to borrow it for the bedroom
My fall mantel - a few books ( that I've been dying to read )  a couple of stars -

some branches - even my squirrel door stopper has found it's way up there LOL
and of course my Paris Christmas ornament that's out for every season

Last month I looked for a pair of Hunter boots on line.....................it's been popping up on my screen for 30 days or so - a constant reminder that I haven't bought them

I'm ordering them today - partly because I love them - and partly because I'm sick to death of seeing the ad

This is the new style of them ( I had the older version for many many years - they last a long time ! )
It's a more tailored version

And what on earth they have to do with my mantel I have no idea except these boots are probably the only part of Fall that I really do like .................I may put them on the mantel.

Hope you all have a wonderful Monday -
And since most of you LOVE this season I hope it's filled with warm colors and crisp weather and fireplaces and soup on the stove and pie in the oven and

a pair of your favorite boots..................

Hello Fall !

Hugs,
Me
