Fall is my favorite time of year with the crisp air and vibrant leaves. In fact, I chose my favorite month, October, to get married (Friday the 13th!) and just celebrated 16 years of wedded bliss. I love decorating during this season and using natural elements that are easy to find like pumpkins in all colors, gourds, nuts, apples and flowers. Here’s what I’m…

The Good, The Bad and The Just Plain Hideous!
Found this old wooden stepstool today at the thrift store. So much paint splattered character (my girls think it may have belonged to Jackson Pollack!) and will look great as a side table or plant stand – inside or out.

See What I Found at the VNA Rummage Sale!
I went, I shopped, I scored at the VNA Rummage Sale! (October 7, 8 and 9) Early this morning, I loaded up my car with a big painters drop cloth, my cart (dorky but necessary), tote bag, water and a snack. I was now ready to scavenge!
