I had no idea the response I would get to my new products this fall, but I am grateful to say the least. :)
I have been sewing like mad getting all the orders filled and trying to keep the SHOP stocked. I have had several ask if there will be more Brassy Bunchy Scarves and the answer is YES!!!!
What day will they be re-stocked? That I cannot answer but it will be next week! Yes just a few short days away. If you are on my mailing list you will be notified first thing! If you are not, sign up on the sidebar - just takes a second. (psst - there will be some fun new colors too! just between you and me - tee hee he......)
Until then, I will be busily sewing in my studio! More fun product to come!!!
BOO your neighbors........

This is a "spooktacular" activity that is sure to become a family favorite! Spread the Halloween spirit to your friends and neighbors by playing this little game.
Gather your family together and create some yummy Halloween treats. Then as dusk begins to fall, load up a few plates with your goodies and attach the "You've been Boo'd" sign and head out with your family. Choose a friend's house to "BOO", set the treats, poem and sign on the front step, knock on the door and RUN for it! Don't get caught!!!!
Here's a BOO sign we use and the poem to explain how it all works!
The air is cool the season fall
Soon Halloween will come to all
The spooks are after things to do
In fact, a spook brought this to you
“BOO” is a shield from witching hour
Just hang it up and watch its power
On your front door is where it works
It wards off spooks and scary jerks
The treats that came with crypted note
Are yours to keep, enjoy them both
The power comes when friends like you
Will copy this and make it TWO
Then others here among our friends
Will give warm fuzzies that do not end
We’ll all have smiles upon our faces
No one will know who “BOO”ed whose places
Just one short day to work your spell
Or a big ZAP will strike your tail
And don’t forget a nifty treat,
Like something cute or something sweet
Please join fun, let’s really hear it
And spread some “BOO”s and Halloween spirit.
Sisters

Ok fall. Perhaps I said some not so nice things about you before. For that, I apologize.
My big sister Micha smelled like pears for my whole childhood. She had some pear scented something that I thought was just the height of lady like amazingness. They always make me a little heartsick for her.
Sisters are a funny thing. One day, you're throwing shoes at each other's heads and then bam, you grow up (as much as possible) and can't live without each other. In this public forum, I'd also like to state that I totally deserved that whole business with the chunky platform senior year. End of story.
Addendum- our theme song. She's definitely the one who wore the dress and i'm the one who stayed home.

Yesterday I ate a pear that literally melted in my mouth. I didn't know pears could do that. But they can and when they do, oh good god.

Fall Decor - mix it up!
Diposting oleh fawaid
If you follow my blog you know I love taking one thing and re-using it for something else. And with the economy we are in, you may not have much of a budget to decorate your home for the fall season. WELL.......I want to share a few ideas that will help you see what you might already have in a new light - let's MIX it up!
Vases – whether they are solid or clear these can be changed with the seasons so easily! I'm all for using real natural products but YES I do use a little of the fake kind too! Even better when you can mix them together, I think. So take our your greenery and your summer floral arrangements and replace them with dried grain/grasses, curly willow sticks, small pumpkins, gourds, etc.These have a very earthy and a natural feel to them.
Pumpkin Topiary
Lifestyle Studios Pumpkin Topiary- One of my favorite pieces to create each year for the front porch is a pumpkin topiary! There are several ways to do these. You can use real pumpkins or artificial ones if you just want to make it once and have it every year. Plus think small too! These would be great crafted up in a small version for inside your home as well!
Just remember to have and take a look first at what you already have before you run out to buy more! :)

Candle holders – they are not just for candles anymore! I love to stack mine with gourds, pumpkins, decorative balls, etc. Create a grouping of candlesticks, vases and some dried leaves, grapevine, etc. Look for what is accessible in your own backyard or garden. You might be surprised what you find!

Trays- Wooden, silver or whatever your tray is made out of it can be a great "container" for holding a potpourri of fall type items. I like to place one on my dining table, put a large candleholder in the center and then fill the tray with an assortment of Fall colors, textures and objects. Then when it comes to dinner time and we need to clear the space it's easily moved by picking up the tray and replacing it when we are done. Plus my kids love to look through all the fun objects in the tray and find smooth river rocks, acorns and other odd shaped items.
