Beth’s House

Hi, I just got back from a "girl's" trip to Michigan, and wanted to show you some of Beth's house.
Here she is greeting us at the door of her HUGE, beautiful home. We call her "Martha Stewart"
because she looks and acts like her, but she's much sweeter natured than Martha.

Living Room

Her view  is wonderful, and this picture does NOT do it justice.

It's beautiful now, but can you imagine watching the snow from these windows? (sigh)

Here's her pond. 

The deck. It was very windy the day I took this picture.

The other side of the LR

View going into the DR

I think her house should be in BH&G

Cute, little corner. Her daughter did the artwork.

Table grouping in the LR. (Sorry about the glare)

We did a pumpkin craft while we were there, and here of two of the ones we made. I will show more of them in a later post.

THANKS FOR VISITING ME TODAY.  WE HAD SUCH A FUN TIME AND THANKS, BETH!

I'm joining Beverly for "Pink Saturday" today. Thanks, Beverly.

Fall in the LR

I'm joining the fun at Savy Southern Style for "Wow Us Wednesday"

This is my living room for Fall this year.

The Mantle

I found an old salvaged window for only $8. to use.

The rest was stuff I already had.

Thanks for joining me today. And thanks, Kim!

In the Dining Room for Fall

Hello, Friends. I'm joining Susan's Tablescape Thursday today. Thanks, Susan for the fun!

Dining Room Fall 2012

I'm using things I already had for this table.

Place Setting using Blue Willow Plates

This is my hutch I found at an estate sale. I have really enjoyed it. (Extra storage, too! You KNOW how  all us Bloggers need that :) Fall looking picture a flea market cheap find.

THANKS FOR JOINING ME TODAY. HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL SUNNY DAY! pssss..
if this kinda looks familar, here's why........................

When I saw this picture on "Country Sampler", I knew it would be pretty easy for me to recreate because of my furniture and things I already had. I loved the blue and fall colors together. Thanks,
"Country Sampler" for the wonderful inspiration!

So, I'm  also joining Debbiedo's Copy Cat Magazine Challenge.

Copy Cat Challenge-Fall Door

Here's my inspiration picture from Better H&G.


So I went shopping. Baskets from local flea market, already had the chair and birdhouse. Cornstalks from Lowe's.Tablecloth and ribbon 1/2 off at Jo Ann's.


Scarecrow from Walmart this year. Mum's from Lowes and last year's mum on right.





I had the grapevine wreath and just added the pumpkin garland.


                             So how did I do?

Thanks Debbie for this fun party. Go HERE to see the great copy cat pics.
Also joining DIY's Showoff Fall Festival. Go Here for that fun party.

THANKS GIRLS FOR THE FUN PARTIES AND THANKS FOR STOPPING BY.

Rednesday’s Here!

 Hello, Bloggy friends. Lately I've been in my "dollhouse" mode, and found this cute picture of a Christmas living room in miniature.Isn't cute and cozy?

I have repainted my stove, but am not happy with it, so I'm going to redo it again. That wallpaper has got to go,too.


I found these two books on Redwork  stitching, and want to give it a try.


I fell in love with redwork, after finding this dishtowel . You think maybe because it's "red"? hehehe

Bonus: The books also match my "red" decor. :)

Some  recent finds from my trip to Indiana. Red gingham pillow.

Red metal letter holder. Gotta hang it.

Got this vintage, enamel bowl for a steal.  The quilt piece and thread spools were included.



Here's my new "old" side table that was also a great price. This shape was just what I needed.


This big canister is cracked in the back, so I also got this set for a great price.



Loved this apron I bought at a craft sale. Great idea to have your dishtowel attached. And you can
detach it to wash it. You crafty girls out there might like this idea.

I liked this "fally" looking picture, and will be using it on the mantle this year. Which, by the way,
I need to get started on, as I see most of you have already beautified your homes with fall decor.
           
                 THANKS FOR STOPPING BY TO SEE ME, AND HAVE A SUNNY DAY.

I'm joining Sue's REDNESDAY at "It's a Very Cherry World" and
Linda's NIFTY THRIFTY TUESDAY at "Coastal Charm"

I'm Back

 Hello! I'm back from being away from home for three weeks, and I'm way behind on the blogging,
and I just know I have missed some wonderful post. I bought this little guy at Walmart.

 Isn't he cute? He will be at my front door soon, holding my mum from last year that will be blooming soon.

See all the buds? I can 't believe I was able to save it all year. 

I'm glad to be back and I'll be posting soon.

SPECIAL NOTE:  THANKS, JOY!!!
