Flourishing Pumpkin

Introducing a new vinyl decal to my Piccadilly Line...

I'm in love with this little lovely and can't wait to try her out on a few different projects.  Meanwhile, she's available in my Etsy shop for all you creative cats.

Ribbon - my favorite

October is always a busy month for me and this one has definately been true to form.  I've seen soooo many cute halloween decor ideas this year but, who has the time for them all?  Yet, one idea jumped out at me from my PB kids catalog that even I had time to try. 

Mini Ribbon pumpkins:

All I needed was a bag of mini pumpkins from walmart.  My hot glue gun.  And some black ribbon from the stash.

I got so ribbon happy that I added some to a candle too. 

Both are now giving me something to smile about in the kitchen.



Now it's time for some exciting news.  My Front Door Decals will be featured this Wednesday over at Certifikid.  All Wednesday long, they'll be on sale for just $10 a piece with shipping included!  That's 33% off my Etsy price.  So, hop on over to www.certifikid.com for some great deals.

I'll be linking up to a few of these parties.

BOO

I just couldn't wait for October to start decorating my porch and these perfectly round pumpkins couldn't be passed up.  So I ended up with this trio.

I get asked a lot if I painted those pots - I did not, they are metal and came that color. They were left over from my sister's wedding, but were originally bought at Garden Ridge.  However, I'm sure that if you wanted some spooky pots, some spray paint could get you there easy enough.

When my son ran off the school bus today he started giggling.  I had no idea what was making him so giddy until he pointed to the "BOO".    Apparently vinyl decals can make a 7 year old boy giggle.  If you need a set of your own, feel free to visit my etsy shop.

If I get around to it tonight, I just may link up to some of these parties.

Pumpkin

Everyone's favorite fall emblem - the pumpkin, has made his way onto my modge podged blocks.

The tallest block of the  bunch measures four inches high.

They've made their way into my Etsy shop.

Fall mantel

This weekend we spent our time here tubing the river.  It was the perfect last summer fling.

This morning I woke to heavy rains.  The break in the hot weather filled me with a hunger for fall.  So much so, that I pulled out our box of fall goodies and trimmed up the mantel.  Its still a little early, so I avoided halloween and thanksgiving specifics.  Here's what I came up with.

The wreath is one I made a couple years ago using berry garlands and a pre-made grapevine wreath.

I filled these with a layer of river rocks and then some fall foilage.  I LOVE the combo of smooth river rocks next to crunchy fall leaves.

A couple of signs came from my piccadilly collection.

These little acorns are the only new purchase this year.  They're from World Market.

And of course, the centerpiece is our picture of Jesus Christ.  Hopefully he'll help us remember to behave ourselves.
