Happy Pumpkin Spice Season

Yep...It's that time of year...

Where everyone wants food or drink in pumpkin spice flavor!

I just had some pumpkin spice donuts!

Above is my Brand new sign!

It is now in my etsy shop!

It is an instant download PDF...so you get the file immediately and can print on your own printer in seconds.  It is only $5.99.

I always get frames at thrift stores and dollar stores when I am there...it is so inexpensive that way.

Plus other stores sell fancier frames for a bit more.

This sign would look great in the kitchen or a bakery or coffee shop.

Plus it is perfect all fall...not just Halloween.

Trix decided I needed to showcase her alittle.  

She thinks the table is her playground.

By the way ...I found some baby pics of trix and lucky...trix is on the left...lucky is the face on the right.

Now that Trix is well from a recent sickness...now Lucky is under the weather....they are gonna be the death of me. 

My daughter and her boyfriend went to a farm and got these tiny pumpkins...so I set them near this couple.  The hat he is wearing is a weekend treasure I got. 

I also got this cool paper hat....it is so delicate. 

Plus I got these small (about 5") diecuts...I didn't have them in my collection yet. 

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Well my daughter and I are getting ready for The big quilt show (WSQ) and filling out orders from Checker and online sales....so we have been working tons.

I haven't gotten all the things done that I wanted to....but that happens every year...so what else is new...lol.

This is a pic from my booth...many years ago... I have had sooo much fun at these.

Love it!

I put up all my Halloween decor in my house...it nearly killed me...so much work.

I always have to clear our areas, then dust and clean....then get a million boxes out...then get all the light up items and big items where they should go.  Finally the little stuff all around.  

I love how it looks when it is done!

Now I need to put my feet up!

Come to What to do weekends!  Come to Home matters!!!  Come to the Pin me linky party!  Come to DIY Crush craft Party!!  Come to the Party Bunch!

Antiques....love them!

I love shopping at antique stores....this one called 

The Vintage rabbit

in Spokane Washington

is definitely one of my favorites!!

I love the bike wheel....full of vintage postcards 

Old babies....I wonder what their story is... 

same here...

Who loved them and what happened? 

This is a chair's seat....a crazy quilt with some embroidery....1901, 1897, 1902...

wow...so old. 

two thumpers! 

These crack me up....reminds me being on the phone with my sister Cecilia. 

Dramatic isn't she!

I would love the mannequin head...hehehe 

They really have a knack for displays 

Ok...I really loved this....too bad there was no mark to go with....

it is adorable!

I can just imagine the happy boy wearing this Halloween night! 

Cute mouse measuring spoon holder! 

Kitche!

I think that is how you spell it....lol.

owl and froggy 

I LOVED Miss Piggy in the 70's when I would see her movies, collect stickers...etc...

There was something about her bossy aggressiveness that was so opposite of me.

This weekend is an antique show in town....

More shopping!!!

Happy day to you!!

Come to the Pin me linky party!  Come to to the party bunch!

Panda cuteness

Hey ladies!

I went to the big craft show this weekend...got lots of goodies...and I wanted to share some with you.

I got this great panda bear with crown...in my friend Rchelle's booth.  It is all vintage like as if it has been well loved and stored in the attic. 

My friend Sarah gave me this witch hat she made...to put on him during Halloween time!

Yay!!  I am lucky!

I also got some Halloween pokes for a dollar each. 

So darned cute...black glitter on the hat is my kind of witch hat. 

I know ...who buys Halloween in spring....ME!

I am addicted I guess.

I also got fudge, toffee, hand cream that smells like nag champa.

I wanted to get my daughter a cool tshirt skirt....but all the mediums left were dull colors and my daughter is vibrant. 

I went to goodwill later....and scored a vintage blue phone for 9.99.

These are usually a small fortune at antique stores...and usually green.

Here is my daughter goofing around....I have two now.

The ringers are super LOUD. 

She painted the yellow partly pink...we took it to Quilt market as a prop and everyone wanted to buy it.

She was determined to keep it. 

Before I decorate for Easter...I have some strawberries out...I know it is not strawberry season but I love the look of them. 

I have all kinds made of fabric....I just put them in my huge cylinder jar.

It is right next to my tart warmer from walmart....love that thing! 

The best is yet to be...cute saying isn't it.  

That is a pattern by Bareroots.

I met her at market....she is the sweetest lady!

And finally....Froy, my cat, is giving this message today!

Have a good one!

Come to Thrifty Thursday!!  Come to the Pin me Linky Party!

Queen O' The Green!

Feeling like a Sassie Lassie?

How about a Party O' Animal?

I just finished my new St. Patrick's day ornaments pattern.

They are so bright and cheerful! 

Let your love of green show this St. Patrick's day! These chenille stem ornaments have a vintage flair...plus they are fun, easy, and quick to make. All the artwork for 8 different designs and banners are included! 

They are easy enough for kids to make too.

Banners sayings include: Kiss me...I'm Irish, Queen O' The Green, Lepre-cutie,Luck of the Irish, Proud to be Irish, Happy go lucky, Party O' Animal, and Sassie Lassie.

These could also be used as gift tags. 

I painted the artwork myself...you get the collage sheet with all eight designs plus all 8 banners.

She is a real sweetie!

I loved glittering them up. 

These are so simple and super duper quick!

The pattern is in my etsy shop, my patternmart and my website.
