Happy Halloween!

Have a ghoulishly fun time! 

Bye forever, bwahahahahha!

Throwback Thursday

This is me as a "dead bride" back in 1981!

I was in college at North Dakota State University.

I'd joined a service organization called Circle K,

and this was our Halloween party.

This was the first time I'd ever done an elaborate face paint,

and I loved it!

Do you love to dress up for Halloween?

Bye for now!

A New Place to Find Happy as a Lark PIns

4 deer, 4 fox and 4 cat pins.

Last of the Fall Colors

 So sad to see the golden leaves falling

and blowing away, 

but boy did we have a wonderful show this year!

Have you been enjoying fall so far?

Bye for now!

Bye for now!

My Week

 Still enjoying some of the best fall colors

that we've had in a long time!

 And a beautiful sunrise too!

 Working on display cards for some of my pins.

Where am I displaying them?

You'll find out soon!

And working on a custom order!

 

Hope you had a lovely week!

Bye for now!

Estate Sale Finds

 I hadn't been to an estate sale in awhile,

but this is a good time of year for them.

This wasn't the best one I've ever been too, 

but I did find some crochet thread and vintage felt.

Still can't find the elusive ric rac or embroidered ribbon, though!

Is there something you've been searching for unsuccessfully?

Bye for now!

Orange Gingham Cat

 Finally a new cat pin in my shop!

Orange gingham, and a pumpkin colored fabric,

so cute!

Hope you like it! 

Bye for now!

Family Walk

 We had our first walk together as a family 

in quite awhile.

It was a perfect day for it.

 And I brought home a little souvenir.

Bye for now!

What I Wore

 I finished the vintage cape I altered,

by removing the fringe, hemming, 

and changing the buttons.

Cape, blouse and bracelet: thrift

Leggings, sweater dress, boots,

tee, hat and purse: Target

Leaf pin: vintage

I took a thrifted vintage belt

and altered my black purse,

so I could wear it cross body.

The bit I didn't use on the purse,

I made into a bracelet.

Linking to Visible Monday.

Bye for now!

My Week

 More gorgeous fall colors.

This has been an especially good year!

 We've had a cat visiting this week.

Such a pretty cat, but I think he is feral.

Usually when Smoke see another cat outside 

he goes bonkers!

But for some reason he doesn't mind this visitor.

 Worked on altering a vintage cape to wear this weekend.

 Our crabapple tree had changed colors this week. 

So pretty! 

Bye for now!

Fall Morning

 I love fall mornings!

Watching the school bus head down the street,

 and squirrels gathering food.

Plus there are always beautiful trees 

to admire!

 

Bye for now!

Foxy Fall Pin

 Just finished this cute fox pin in fall colors!

Find it in my shop!

Bye for now!
