A Quiet Weekend

Hope you all had a lovely weekend!

The weather was so perfect here in PA. 

My husband was away fishing with his daughters and I was lucky enough to have a couple of relaxing days with my BFF.

Have a great week!

Chippy Autumn Porch

Found this table buried under STUFF in the garage.

It's so perfectly chippy and it needed rescued.

I've been asking for help with this all summer long, but there are so many projects going on around here that it just wasn't priority. So, yesterday I managed to do the job myself.

It now has a new home on my porch.

Love the big chunky legs.

And it's the perfect place for my new window box.

Made of an old window and some reclaimed wood.

It holds my dried sunflowers.

And the pumpkin from my daughter's garden.

I've been on the lookout for some bittersweet to add to my Fall decor, but haven't been able to find any, so I settled for some artificial for now.

Time to get on with another project.
Thanks for having a look at my chippy Autumn porch.

Feeling Fallish

A Stroll Outdoors

Today was a bit chilly and rainy.

Not the kind of day I would normally choose for a stroll through the fallen leaves, but when I saw how sad Jack looked, staring out the window, I stepped into my boots, grabbed my camera and Jack's leash, and set out for a hike around the property.

 

I needed this time outdoors with nature as much as Jack did.

We both felt better after our walk.

Autumn Decor

The days are getting shorter and the nights are getting colder.

Autumn is upon us.

Time to bring out the Fall decorations.

Handmade Velvet Pumpkins

Tis the season for making pumpkins.

I made these using recycled materials.

The velvet was from an antique bed jacket and the lace and ribbon are old and recycled too.

The pedestals were once candle holders.

I made a few dark orange velvet ones and the witches hat with a mix of new and recycled materials.

The old velvet album and the antique shoes were fleamarket finds and remind me of a witches shoes and her book of spells.

Each year at this time I make new pumpkins.

I think these are my favorite so far.

Happy Fall Everyone!
