Quoth the Raven,…’Nevermore!!!! I DO NOT like scary. I am serious. I usually try to make the “Halloween decor” more fun-like than scary, especially for the little ones… they don’t like scary either. In fact, I prefer to use the terms Harvest Party or Autumn Festival or Fall Festival when referring to the October festivities….
A Dark Stormy Night Story & Tablescape! My dear readers, I decided to re-visit a post from a blog hop last year because…well, because I like telling stories and I liked telling this “scary” story. So rather than setting it up all over again…(foot better, but still non weight bearing) I am re-posting this one…
Halloween Dinner For Two…. I would like to revive a few recipes from a intimate Halloween dinner for two that I made for the Captain and myself quite a while back. Please excuse the photography…we have come a long way baby. LOL…and since this was before I started a blog, the staging is not so great…
Happy Halloween Non Spooky Tablescape. Trick or Treat time has always been a fun time for my children when they were small. These days, we don’t have many trick or treaters coming to our door. Sadly, It is a sign of the times. As kids, we loved to take our brown paper bags (no fancy…
Don’t ya just love the changing seasons? Don’t ya just love the bright oranges, yellows, rusts and browns? Don’t ya just love the cooler temperatures? Yes? Well, we here in SW Florida don’t really have much of that, so I have to live vicariously through others who do have a change in their seasons. Which…
Good Witches That Go Splat! My dear readers, I have a confession to make…as I have said before, My broken foot has sidelined me for a while and even though my front entry sports two all white pumpkin stacks perched on urns…that is about all that is out there at this time. So, I…
My friends, Fall is definitely here ready or not and since it is Monday, it is time for another link party. I love link parties. I get to see what other bloggers are up to, what new styling ideas are available and what items are at our favorite craft stores all over the country. My…
We really need to talk, so grab your pumpkin spice latte, apple cider or pumpkin-a-rita (I promise, I don’t judge) and let’s you and me do a little Chair Sitting! Perhaps, I better give you my definition of chair sitting,… because I am sure the thought ran through your head that you certainly know how…
Adorable White Pumpkin Soup Tureens! Fall is definitely coming…in fact, in some parts of the country, it is here! I am so excited because I love Fall/Autumn!…and even though we don’t have drastic changes in our Seasons here in Florida, we still have Seasonal changes. The leaves that have fallen off of my shady lady…
Lavender Blue always makes me think of the song with the same title….Lavender Blue. The song was made popular in the early 60’s by Sammy Turner and then it was in the 2015 Cinderella sound track! I loved watching Cinderella float about the ball room with her Prince Charming in that gorgeous blue ball gown….
My friends….the leaves are starting to fall in my Florida yard! True! Pinky Swear! No, not the palm fronds, but the leaves of my Shady Lady Olive tree. Actually, it is almost a continual process all year long, I am always using the grass blower to rid my foyer of those little leaves. When I…
I know every one wants their garden to be beautiful at all times, but just as in life…that can’t always be. I know every one wants their garden to be beautiful at all times, but just as in life…that can’t always be. Blooms fade, annuals die out and in their place a new flourish of…
