There's Just Something About Autumn!

It is my most favorite time of the year, and by the time September rolls around I can hardly stand it. I get so giddy and eager for October and all I can think about is getting out those fabulous Fall decorations! I love October and I wish that I could celebrate the glory and the beauty of it all year long!


And on the subject of decorations, I like to collect new ones every year. I got a few additions new for this season, and must say that they are definately some new favorites. I snapped some pictures yesterday, so thought I'd share them here in case anyone else is a Fall freak like me! This first one is so adorable...I found it when I was out shopping on Tuesday at one of my usual Primitive/Craft store haunts. With all the rage of "felt" being used in scrapbooking, I really couldn't help myself from getting this. Besides, it's perfect for holding my chocolate stash! Lol!




Here's another thing that I saw and had to have when I saw it. He's my new guy (Move over Mugi...there's a new guy in town)! I was visiting my parents a few weeks ago and we went to Cracker Barrel for dinner. Of course that place can't just have great Chicken-n-Dumplins, it has to have the cutest darn stuff to buy too! I saw Mr. Pumpkin propped up on a barrel.
I had to have him, but I didn't bring my purse with me... so my good ol' Dad bought him for me! He's perfect, as he doesn't give me any attitude...lol! Anyway, he sit's on his bench in our entry way, and he just makes me smile when I see him!



This next item, is my most favorite, as it was really one of those things that I got on the spur of the moment. It was bought on a whim, but I really wanted it because it looked so charming. I got this old rustic mirrored-door stand last October. It was shortly after losing Ava, and it was actually the first that I went out by myself for the day. I remember feeling very sorry for myself, but I had to get out and I ended up going to one of my favorite places, "The Street of Shops". This place is amazing because it has like 125 little shops all nestled together...very quaint. There's also many antique dealers there too, which I like! I came across this piece and called Mugi up right away on the cell phone to see if he'd mind if I bought it. He said, "go ahead, get whatever you want". But I quickly realized I had no way of getting it in our car for the ride home. After some quick thinking, I called up my sister-in-law, Wendy, and luckily she was at home. She promptly came over to Lewisburg with their truck and picked it up for me.

I love this, because I can imagine using it for all holidays...
Next will be Christmas!!

Well, I suppose that's enough about my decorations for now. I'll show more pix later I'm sure, but Mugi called and he's coming home from work a little earlier than expected and he's hungry. I'm off to make something quick to eat!



Later! Andrea
