Entryway Decorations

I added a simple pail of mini pumpkins to my entryway table.

A tiny bit of color among all the greens and browns.

Today's high is 83F, but tomorrow it's going to be 55F. I can't wait!

Back Home

It's a beautiful Autumn morning and I'm ready to start the week. We returned home from our trip to Florida late Saturday evening. Yesterday was spent cleaning, dusting, vacuuming, and on endless loads of laundry (finishing up the last 3 this morning).

I also put out a few more fall decorations and I will share pictures soon.

My oak tree got a bit of a head start on me.

Welcome October

Happy October! My favorite month of the year is here and the temperatures in Texas have finally dropped down into the 80's. :0)

Thank you to all who have left messages and sent emails. We are doing well and had a good start to our school year. We are preparing for a family wedding - I'm getting a new sister-in-law! She spent this past month at my house and has become a great friend. She's crafty too, so we have lots of fun together.

I'll try to be better about posting, even if it's a quick hello!

Simple Little Pleasures for Tuesday

Today I'm enjoying flowers from a friend and a stack of old Victoria magazines to look through.

"I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens, but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string."

New Kitchen Remodel - After Pictures

Phillip and I worked all weekend and got everything moved back in. We love how it all looks!














I've ordered place mats that are the same color as the curtains. I think they will blend in better than the solid red.


Inside hutch light on.


Upper and lower lights also on.


Thank you for taking a look! I'm sure I'll be sharing close-ups of various things. I found some new treasures at the antique store last week.

I hope you all have a wonderful week ahead!
