Happy Colors

 

My Pumpkin Patch

HI and Happy Thursday. The plant stand was changed out from birdhouses and bird nests to lots of pumpkins. The bottom shelf may need a few more.  

Art Find

 Whenever I browse at the local Goodwill I check out vases and jars, books, and of course my favorite, the picture aisle with frames and art. 

Have been changing things around here at home. Also working on some fall decorative arrangements. Plus deciding where some art pieces will go. My kind of relaxation.

Outdoor and Indoor Shopping

 

Such a perfect fall day for an outdoor crafts fair.

My favorite tent booth!

These handmade journals designed by Teresa Merriman of Tempe, AZ, were exquisite.

Les Passees( LAY-PAH-SAY) Stock Exchange was an indoor feast of furniture, pottery, paintings, lamps, ETC.

This was a design on an antique twin bed.

 Of course, I admired this church pew.

My eyes and legs were tired from yesterday's full day of browsing and shopping.

Sweet Surprises

 Getting a belated card

A special find at Goodwill

Remember these green boxes on my desk shelf that held a collection of bookmarks...

well, I was elated to find another set.  They look different in my photos, but they are alike. 

I tucked handwritten messages inside these.

A Book Ending

Enjoyed!

Ninth Month Wonders

My Aunt Clara Belle was 103 yesterday. Wish I could have spent it with her. This picture of her was taken in September of 2018. Wish she could meet sweet Tallulah. But too many years and distance and circumstances separate them.

 

The Sunday rainbow was a glorious sight. We were returning from a Memphis visit with Tallulah when we witnessed the rainbow while traveling on Wilkinsville Road. I snapped these two pictures from our moving vehicle.

The view below was from our front yard.

Even though fall is approaching I am still painting flowers.

I am ready for fall's cooler days. And as this message says summer quickly changed into fall.

Friday Facts

 We were supposed to be at tonight's football game at Munford High School, but a call to get help with a locked AOL account took a very long time. Talk about exhausting. Thank goodness, the technical support person was very patient throughout the whole process. 

I love technology but hate it at the same time.

Five years ago today I was at a wedding. Lauren and Justin married in Austin, Texas, on a very warm September evening. The programs were on hand fans to help keep us cool.

Yesterday's browsing turned up two new pumpkins - one for the inside and one to  use outside. 

 While I was in the living room snapping these two fall decor photos, I decided to take a picture of my husband's collection.  I have more collections than Corkey, but he has a few. This one is very impressive.

This senior citizen is about to call it a night.

Happy Weekend!

Happy Decorating!

Happy Fall!

A Quick Update

 Little by little I'm putting out fall decor.

Still painting every now and then

My dear daughter turned 40! I was looking at her baby books recently, and precious memories came flooding back.

Visits to see sweet Tallulah have been wonderful. We were there this afternoon and  enjoyed every minute.

September is a month that seems to go by quickly. Therefore, I'm hopping on here tonight to say "Hello" since lovely September days are moving along at a fast pace.

Joys

 Yesterday and today were outstanding back-to-back days. On Saturday while Lauren and Justin unpacked boxes and organized their household belongings, I got to hold and rock Tallulah Grace.

Lauren and Justin like to create art. They also collect the art of other people.

This is only a small sample of what they have.

Today their daughter is six months old. 

It's been an unforgettable six months.

My heart was full as I sat in church and thanked God for granting this miracle. 

There may be challenges ahead, but Tallulah has great parents. She is sure to bask in their love. Not to mention the love of doting grandparents.
