Happy Halloween


A little Halloween decor for you - I got some wonderful items from my partner (Missy-Fairy Child Heirlooms) in Heidi's Homemade Halloween swap. I added these to this halloween display.


I have not been able to post recently as I am working on revamping my webstore (check it out) and just I love it! Working on matching blog, banner, etc. and getting some items added. I'll be rejoining The French Cupboard once this is all done. I'll be back soon! Have a spooktacular evening!!

Displaying sparkling jewels

After spending a nice family weekend in Gatlinburg, TN, it is raining today - one of those hot potato soup and cornbread days. Since there is no sunshine today, to add a little sparkle, here is a pic of some shiney jewels and rhinestone buttons displayed in a silverplate relish dish.

Coral roses and green grass....

Why do sometimes we think the grass is greener on the other side? Here's a funny pic of one of our goats who feels the same way.

Also wanted to show you this footed bowl that I transformed this weekend.

Listing some new items in my Etsy Shop











Doing some catch-up today and listing some new finds in my Etsy shop. It is a beautiful day here in East Tennessee and I love September! It is my absolute favorite month. Can you believe how quickly this summer has gone by? I'll be listing some new things over the next couple of days.

Some finds to share




I've been away awhile, I know - I lost my precious grandfather who was 98 and had grown weary. He kept his keen wit and was recalling stories of long ago right up until the very last day or two before his death, and he would always light up with joy each and every time I visited. I will miss him until we meet again...

Here are a couple of recent yard sale finds to share - a fabulous round silver framed vintage doily. I've never seen a frame like this - have any of you? It looks like the rim of a silver tray.

Also, a floral pitcher - it must have had a matching basin at one time. I love the floral design - roses and lilacs.
