Thrift Store Finds

 Made it to the thrift store this week 
and found some fun things.
I found a plaid skirt that just needs 
some alterations, 
some calico fabric
and lastly this great vintage mushroom spoonrest!
I really needed one for my stove!

Find anything great at the thrift lately?

Autumn Rain


 I know I've been missing this week,
but I had a hubby and daughter 
both sick with colds.
My girls is almost well,
but hubby is still not there yet.
I love this wet autumn weather 
we are having though.


 Just right for making chicken and rice soup,
and lots of baking!


 And then at sunset the sun came out
and we got a beautiful rainbow!

 A double rainbow, actually!

Bye for now!

Busy, Busy, Busy


 It's been kind of crazy round here,
but I managed to get a start
 on a new pin!


And I was going to give this puzzle to the thrift,
but I had to put it together first.
 

And, I always take time to look out 
at the beauty of fall in my neighborhood!
Bye for now!

 Doing a little decorating for fall
with deer, pinecones and leaves.
Also added the candy corn garland

Have you started your fall decorating yet?

and my vintage denim purse.
Everything but the rings: thrift
Green flower ring: Joanns
