Fall Touches The Potting Bench

Before heading to Texas I added a few fall touches to my potting bench

I really love this old window on the bench and hope to decorate it a bit more soon

Pumpkins

A welcome sign

The wood pumpkins I found in a thrift shop

I am thinking of painting this guy...black, white or ??? what do you think!

Maybe not paint him but how about a burlap ribbon on the hat??

Please remember October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  A blogging friend has just this past week been diagnosed with breast cancer.

Susan has started a new blog to record this journey.  If you have a moment please stop by and visit her at The Pink Ribbon!

A Favorite Quilt

I thought since I was here at my Mom's house I would share some 'favorite' things of hers!  We are downsizing and went through a couple of closets yesterday.  This was in one of them.

This applique quilt....

All the squares were done by different ladies in Mom's quilt group many years ago.  Mom put it together and had it machine quilted.  

It is gorgeous and guess what?

It's now mine!  Mom is giving this beauty to me!

Thank you Mom for this lovely quilt.  I will use it on my bed this winter and treasure it forever!

Thrifty Fall Finds!

I found some great thrifty fall finds last time I went thrifting!  

I got two black side bowls for .20/ea, perfect for tablescaping

I found these cute ceramic tiles, one for Fall and one for Christmas 

featuring cute cats!

Catzilla!!

I love this twig basket and have already used it in my decorating.  It was $1

This fall tile was from LillianVernon and has already been added to my fall vignettes.  I could not resist these pumpkin candle holders

$1.21 for the pair!  Score!

This month you can find all kinds of reusable bags supporting Breast Cancer Awarness!

Please get one and use it to show your support!

More Touches of Fall

I went thrifting last week and was so lucky to find a few fall items. 
 I wanted to add them to my vignettes!

Just a few changes to this vignette

I like this even better.  I found this adorable cat tile with pumpkins for $1 and just had to have it! 

I found this fall tile at another thrift store for $1 and thought it would be perfect on the table that holds the cubbies!

I like how it adds some more fall colors!

I added the owl from last weeks tablescape to this vignette and I love it.  The divided amber plate looks great here also!

October is breast cancer awareness month

I want to participate by adding pink to each one of my posts this month!

Today I'm sharing another one of my favorite pieces 

This lovely covered compote was found at a thrift shop...coated with dirt and grease

Still I saw it's beauty!  Lots of soap and scrubbing

and this gorgeous thing came to life

I keep candy in it when it's out on the coffee table

Not a bad for under $3
