It's Official!

Thanksgiving is almost over, and the Christmas rush can officially begin.
Are you ready? I am!

Like my picture? I used this site to make it.......

One of the bloggers posted it several months ago. It's lots of fun.
(Sorry, I don't remember who posted it, so I can't give you credit)

I'm looking forward to sharing another
wonderful, fun Christmas season with all my bloggy friends. :)

More Reds

I just gost back from a weekend trip to Fairhope,AL with some friends, and we found lots of bargains.
For all you Mary Engelbrett girls, I found these cute teapot napkin rings.
.




$7 for four. I think that was an OK price.

Aren't they cute?

. I found this red Christmas scarf. It's long, and will be great for my sofa table.

I love these Christmas napkins. They look like they have never been used.

Yep, I'll be using all these new found goodies soon. :)

This snowman light came from Old Time Pottery.

We HAD to take our pictures by this sign. He He He!

I got these six napkins, the little box and the fruit for $3.00 at the Salvation Army Store.

I wanted to show you my "rainbow" tree. Taken this morning. I think it turned over night.


Thanks for stopping by Bloggy Friends. I'm linking up to these parties today.
I'm so glad we have such sweet girls to host these parties for us. Check out each one for more great pictures.

"Rednesday" at Sue's It's A Very Cherry World

"Nifty Thrifty Tuesday" at Linda's Coastal Charm

"Tea Party Tuesday" at Rhondi's Rose Colored Glasses

Red! Red! I love it!

It's Rednesday over at Sue's "It's A Very Cherry World" Lots of beautiful reds over there.

I changed the chair covers from black and white to red and white getting ready for the Christmas decorating.

We still have Fall colors down here. See those red berries? I'll be using them soon to decorate with.

These were a very thrifty find at the thrift store. Of course, I love the color. :)

Work on the mantel should start soon.

I'm very proud of my new red tea kettle. I had to fight for it on Ebay. :)

I'm looking for a braided rug (with red in it, of course) to go under my kitchen table.

Thanks for stopping by, and Happy Rednesday. Thanks, Sue for hosting.

New Reds for the House

It's Rednesday over at Sue's "It's A Very Cherry World". Hooray for Rednesday!

Here are my new curtains for the "red" bedroom. I love them because they are a "pure" red and have a "pure" white background.

See the doll house? I have a few new "reds" for it, too. Let's look inside.




Here's one of the new residents of the dollhouse (see her red bow?) :) :)

The kitchen has quite a few new reds. It's coming along nicely, but still have lots of work to do.

Material for the sun room curtains.

Red bird is a recent find.

Love this Snowman pillow. He came from Hobby Lobby. I know it's early, but I just wanted to see how he'd look.

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY, BLOGGY FRIENDS! D

What IS this????????

Hello, Bloggy friends. Recently our city had a ghost cemetery tour. One of our "famous" graves is that of the gypsy queen and her family.

Here, you see the actors portraying the characters. But what are those round things? So many and different sizes and colors? These were not visible when the pic was taken. SPOOKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BOOtiful Tablescape

Halloween Howdy, Bloggy Friends. It's time for Tablescape Thursday over at Susan's Between Naps on the Porch. Thanks, Susan, for hosting this fun party.

I've set my Halloween table in the dining room. Come on in, I have a special place for you.

I started with these placemats which I got at Dillard's last year. (After they went on sale)

I layered my white Gollum dinner plate with my black polka dot salad plate.

I got these black bowls today at the Dollar Tree to finish the setting.

Here's your place setting. I've given you a black rose, because I want you to feel special. :)

These cute napkins rings were also from Dillard's last year. They were ridiculously priced until they went on sale.

I had to have them. I think they are hand painted.

My centerpiece is simply a cheap, plastic witch's pot. I spray painted some dead twigs from my yard with Halloween Black hairspray.

Then I stuck some foam Halloween shapes I found also today at the Dollar Tree, and I had a centerpiece that was practically free.

Here's the menu. Doesn't it sound yummy? :) (Dollar Tree)

I had these plates from last year. Can't remember where I got them.

Oooooohhhhhh! Twilight, candlelight time.....................................

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY TONIGHT, I ALWAYS LOVE IT WHEN YOU DO. FLY ON OVER TO SUSAN'S FOR MORE FUN.

YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello, Bloggy Friends. Are you a fraidy cat? I have always been one, especially growing up. My brother and sister knew this, and they loved to scare me.

My sister used to turn off the lights when I was in my room and drag her foot like the mummy.

Yes, my sister. The same one who cut my bangs up to "here" hehehehehe

My brother had a model of a skull. When he first showed it to me, it scared me so bad, I knocked it out of his hand and made his jaw come off. hehehehe

WELL, FROM THEN ON, HE'D HIDE IT IN MY ROOM.

How'd you like to find THIS in your bed hiding under the covers???????

YIKES!






Yeah. This is what I felt like. hehehehehe

Fast forward to the present. I was over at Mom's looking for something in the closet of my old bedroom, and I opened the door to find this...................

It's a Halloween decoration of my brother's, and he keeps it in that closet. I knew it was in there, but I had forgotten about it. (The "thing's" name is Elizabeth, by the way)

My brother likes to build model railroads. Here's a picture of the haunted house in his village.

It's "Old Lady Crenshaw's" place. If you look close, you can see her ghost up on the roof.

Meet "Henry". Henry has been with us for many Halloweens. He's like an old friend. :)



Oh, and one more spooky thing.................Last night, I was in my bed, and I heard my computer turn on all by itself. I had it in "sleep" mode, but nothing fell on the keyboard to make it turn on.

Hmm.......................

Anyway, I turned it all the way off, and it didn't turn back on. (Thank Goodness)

SPOOKY!

Thanks for joining me in this Halloween post, Bloggy friends. I'm glad you stopped by.

I will be joining Anna at "Frosted Petunias" for her "Tea Party under the Halloween Moon"

BE THERE IF YOU DARE................
