My favorite kind of shopping, is always about books. Shopping for books is something everyone can enjoy. I’m trying to get some early Christmas shopping done and a good book is always a nice gift. It’s been cold this week. The drive to the library was so beautiful. It’s so different here. No longer do…
An early morning Fall walk.
We are fitting walks back into our schedule. It’s just too pretty out there not to go on nature walks. So…back to walking we go. This walk I am sharing with you all isn’t at the Little Lake, its on another trail I like to walk. The trail is right next to a beautiful creek….
In the garden…making Fall terrariums.
It was that time of year again, time to get my giant glass terrarium out of storage. I have a basket filled with Terrarium items like rocks, moss, tiny animals and miniature houses with whimsical mushrooms. I never know what I will design, and sometimes I add new items to my Terrarium basket in storage….
The little lake in October.
There won’t be a lot of photos with this one. The light is changing here, it was very bright at the lake, the sun was spotlighting all the lake’s beauty. I took what photos I could and then my battery died. I forgot to pack an extra one in my pocket so it was just…
What do you hear? The language of a lie.
I remember where it happened, that first time I thought something was up. It was in a restaurant, a safe happy place where conversations flow easy. A question was asked. ” What do you hear, Yanny or Laurel?” What a strange question I thought to myself as I watched a short clip waiting for the…
A month of Photos.
Mostly this month was all about us getting back to walking, renovating, a little shopping and lots of creating. Oh…and prepping and painting…lots of painting. I’m slowly replacing the Christmas decorations I donated before we moved. We had one truck to fill for our big move and what ever we could fit into that one…
DIY yarn pumpkins.
Bought a bunch of Fall grab bags from a day of thrifting. Purchased 24 Styrofoam pumpkins for less then what it cost new in the stores, total cost for me was $5.In the large chain stores you pay $13 for 7 pumpkins in small bags. I’m not having fun with this inflation. But we all…
Vintage finds.
We’ve been finding all kinds of fun items at the historic home. Items from decades ago in some cases. It’s like a treasure hunt every time we come across something from the past. This week we found a little journal that a grandchild gave to their grandma to fill out. It starts out with a…
My Pickin haul.
It wasn’t a lot, thank goodness for that. I already have enough stuff that I need to organize from our move. I’m getting there though, everything is finally finding a place. I’m especially happy to have a place to store my arts and craft supplies. I had a list in my head of items I…
What’s trending for Fall decor.
I don’t really follow the trends, but I do like to see what is trending. Right now in Fall decor they are saying that Grandma decor is trending, but I believe that has been trending for awhile. They called it cottage core for awhile there…is cottage core still a thing? You know, I think what…
