When we moved to our home in the mountains, we knew that there wouldn't be any trick or treaters who would hike up here. So, for many years, Halloween was not a big deal. That is, until we joined the MINI club and began going to the annual costume party. Now, it is fun to …
It is the last Sunday of the month, and Autumn arrived this week with beautifully cool days. The garden is winding down, but I am still harvesting a lot of tomatoes!

Color is finally showing in some of the trees, and I wanted a pretty veranda for our recent company to enjoy. I thought it would be nice to add a quilt to the tableau, fall inspired and cozy feeling. The little pie pumpkin will become pumpkin bread in a couple of weeks. I found dark …
We had friends come stay overnight recently, so I wanted a pretty table for breakfast. Halloween is close, so it gave me a chance to create a new tablescape. A few weeks ago, I went to the opening week of a new big box crafting store for our area, and found some wonderful black chargers, …
Since I am the Queen of the After Season Sales, I have these cute Halloween sill sitters purchased last November. I pick up these things after the holidays (75% off!) and store them for the next season. Yes, I know, I do have more storage than the average person. I just cannot resist a bargain, …
