Loving Fall

This is by far my favorite time of year. I love the fresh harvest,
 both from our own little garden and the wonderful farms 
here in the Willamette Valley. We are enjoying warm 
apple cakes, lots of different types of pumpkins
 and all the beautiful colors of Fall.
   
Remember there is still time to enter the giveaways  both 
 on my blog, and my sister-in laws blog My Shabby Roses,

There's still Time!

There is still plenty of time to sign up for the Fall Give away! 
We spent the morning at an estate sale and the afternoon getting our new found treasures ready to present to our customers. We truly had a van full and some of the new items have already found their way to the store. 
This child's bike just seemed perfect with the vintage basket for a Fall display.

In the mood for Fall


     Life has been a whirlwind around here and I must say I am ready for the quiet, cooler Fall days, when I sit inside crafting and sipping coffee. We have been bringing loads of new "old" merchandise to the shop and constantly redoing areas as furniture items sell. This business is a nonstop, no breaks allowed type of work. Just when I think it is all set for a few days, I get that phone call. And do I complain, No, I am thrilled, don't get me wrong, sales are a wonderful thing. 



      So today I will do something different and join "White Wednesday"http://fadedcharmcottage.blogspot.com/  I always look at all the lovely posts, and I hugely admire Kathleen who hosts this fun event so I will be sharing some velvet pumpkins I've been working on along with a chippy white crown display pc.
