I'm writing this email ahead of time because we just finished up Antique Alley weekend and I'm going to assume that I'm exhausted. And hopefully will be sleeping late on Monday morning. (Although for me 7:00 am is late now!) Sadly, it was 100 degrees right up until Antique Alley started and I just can't be a Fall Fairy on September 1 like I did back in California. So... I think we'll actually decorate for fall on the first day of fall this year. Here's the scarecrow that I bought at Antique Alley last year. Next week I'll let you know how this year turned out... what did I buy? what did I sell? I bet you just can't wait! lol! I have been sorting though some of my fall crafting supplies. I have a lot of fall stamps. Let me know if you have ideas for them. Here's a whole collection of them!
These are my favorites! Remind me of when I used to do crayon rubbings. Hmmmm.... I have some crayons in the SheShed... I may just do this!

If you follow me on Facebook you'll remember that I call this time of year "Stick-a-Tree-In-It" season. If it has a hole... it gets a tree. If it doesn't have a hole... I drill one! I sell a lot of random items with bottle brush trees both in my booth and online. But I know a lot of you would rather make them yourselves. So today, I'm sharing my "super secret sources" and how I make these. Bottle Brush Tree Decorations What have I stuck trees in this year? Children's alphabet blocks, fence...
I've decided something about myself after all these years of thrifting, junkin', and wandering through flea markets. The weirder the find, the more likely I am to bring it home. I mean, anybody can walk into a thrift store and find a pretty vase or a nice picture frame. But an old bedpan? Now THAT gets my attention. Yes, I really bought an old bedpan at Antique Alley. And yes, I really do plan to plant succulents in it. (After a very thorough cleaning, of course!) And that's not even close to...
It's that time of year again! It snuck up on me... like it always does. 30 Days of Thanksgiving! I've been celebrating 30 Days of Thanksgiving for over two decades. Actually, we may be getting close to three decades now... I'm losing track! So much has changed during that time. But one thing hasn't changed.
