It's A Nice Day For A White Pumpkin....



Good Morning Everyone! 
I know... what will you all think?! 
Two posts in one week?  

I just had something silly to share. 
I was at the grocery store and saw these sweet little white pumpkins. I walked by, and here is why.

I'm really to the point in my life that I just don't want to buy "stuff " anymore. 
 I'm almost fifty-four and have more than any three people can use up in one life time.  After remodeling our kitchen, I started a process of paring down what we have. But it is still too much. 

I really try to not buy what I don't need. The days of buying things for a blog post are over. I have decided that the blog is no longer going to be a possible means of income. It is just going to be what it was originally designed to be. An on line journal and log of whatever.  Meaning:  whatever I'm currently doing.  That might be decorating, remodeling, books, bible journaling, my faith, tablescapes, and/or crafting.

SO! 
That being said, you won't see regular posts, or a general theme.  And, while I won't guarantee this,  you most likely won't see ads. (not that there is ANYTHING wrong with monitizing your blog) I probably won't be changing my blog to follow any trends that seem to run through the blog-us-phere.  Although, trust me, I am always tempted to chase that rabbit. There are so many beautiful blogs out there that I love. They all do a great job of capturing their audience and keeping them. But it is an endless job and I already have a job that I like. This blog is about my "fun" and my sharing it with you. Sounds totally selfish now that I read it. hmmm. 

Well, I hope you don't mind and I hope you'll keep checking in. 

Oh! and about the title ... 
I couldn't stop thinking about the cute pumpkins... So I went back to the floral department and got them. I know, your eyes are rolling.  Now, every time I walk by them I think of the old Billy Idol song "It's a nice day for a white pumpkin...."  I mean white wedding.

Okay, if your eyes weren't rolling before, they are now. 

Have a lovely fall weekend!

 Hey there! 
Look at these darling little appetizer plates!
Got'em for my birthday from my favorite daughter.


I started playing around with them and ended up with 
a full on tablescape!


We've been having so much fun getting ready for the wedding.


I can't believe it is here next week.


I can't wait to show you the fun!









Are you ready for Thanksgiving Dinner?

A Simple Fall Table






 We actually had some folks over for dinner a few weeks ago and I got a chance to use my 
new Spode Jumbo Tea Cups.



The centerpiece was my 3 tier server full of acorns and mini pumpkins. 
With 2 little lanterns on either side.


Simple!


 
Perfect for soup!

I had been eying these sweet little numbers for a while,
but thought they were a little extravagant... 


 

My husband is really good about sending me an Amazon gift card 
every now and then.... I had been saving them up and
finally decided that it was time to spend them!
 So glad I did. :)



 Happy Fall!

Fresh-Cut Friday


Thank you for stopping by and visiting. 
Now that your here, I hope you will join in for Fresh-Cut Friday! 
Feel free to link any post floral related. That includes arrangements, 
gardens, crafts, older posts and even silk arrangements.

All I ask is that you please provide a link back to this party in your post. 

The point is that I LOVE flowers! 
So lets enjoy them!


First off! 
Look at this incredible arrangement that my husband sent for our anniversary. 
40 of the longest stemmed, red, roses I have ever seen in my life!
The whole arrangement was about 4 feet tall.
I felt sorry for the poor guy that delivered them. They weighed a ton!
I got to enjoy them all week at work. 
FABULOUS! 
Thank you T!



So now let's get on with party!



My little arrangement is much more humble.

These little pom poms were so cute and fragrant.

Only $5.99 for the bouquet.

How can you resist?!

So that is my little fall arrangement! 

Let's see what-cha got!

I'm Joining:
Sherry from The Charm of Home;  Cindy from My Romantic Home;  Courtney for Feather Your Nest;  Debra at Common Ground; Kathy from A Delightsome Lif;
Wendy for Frugel Friday; Kate for Flaunt it Friday

It's Fall.... Can You Tell?


 You wouldn't know by our weather report! 
100 degrees today. UGH! 
I just keep telling my self that this weather is on it's way out... 

 Last week I got busy putting my fall decor out. 


 It might not be cool outside yet, but we inside,  are celebrating the change of seasons.

 I'm giving you a quick little tour of the Family Room and the Living Room.

  

These little artificial pumpkins and goards were only .67 each at Wal Mart. 
They really filled in my big glass cookie jar.







 Don't these cute little guys look like they got caught stealing 
my corn and acorns?


So that is fall around my house! 

Is your fall decor out?
