AUTUMN Blessings to you. Here we are at the last day of September with October knocking on my door. A Wreath hangs on it. Two BRIGHT yellow Mums rest inside urns on the Porch. They BRIGHTEN my day when I see them. I need brightened.
With Kitchen remodeling in the works and Hubby scheduled for thyroid surgery in a few weeks, I know it is for the best to not go over board on the HARVEST DECORATIONS.
So I won't. Easy going.
Appreciate PRAYERS for my dear Husband. He has a large, hard mass in his thyroid that has to go. I am praying that he gets through this and will be well. Thyroid cancer altered my health three years ago and there are challenges to this day from it. Thankful to be alive. It's Hubby's turn for surgery. I need my Husband more than words can describe. I HATE CANCER. Know what I mean.
HOME HAVEN will just have a few HARVEST decorations and that will have to do. I'm all right with that. As I do my Autumn cleaning in preparation for the HOLIDAYS, I am thankful for my Home and my Family. My Husband. His job. Food on the table. A LIFE in a small Town.
The Parlour Coffee Table has a Seasonal Centerpiece on it. I've had this arrangement for a few years now and I so enjoy it. Same with the Wreath on the front door. I bought these maybe 4 years ago. Haven't tired of them yet. When the AUTUMN colors are displayed, it puts me in a special AUTUMN MOOD.
Hoping to get a few REAL PUMPKINS to display on the porch. A $1 THRIFT BUY Ceramic Pumpkin is sitting by the television. Last year after Christmas I bought a HARVEST GARLAND for 75% off. On the CHEAP. Thinking about HALLOWEEN CANDY that I want to get for the young children that come knocking on my door for Halloween. Think I'll buy candy bars and call it good.
In the MEAN TIME...Hubby got all of the Kitchen Floor Tile laid!!! Soon he'll grout. I caught him laying down on the job. Can you believe it?
He's priming the cabinets. Soon they will be painted a nice white. We'll be dancing on these tiles before Christmas.
SAMPLE OF TILE
~AUTUMN CLEANING~
A different picture hangs in the Parlour
above the desk where photos of the grandchildren sit.
The picture was a THRIFT BUY for $28.00.
The desk was $38.00.
~Messy to Marvelous~
My end table seems to catch all my junk.
I'm part slob. Enough.
Replaced the Brass Lamp with a $4.99 THRIFT BUY Lamp.
The Medal Lamp sits on a Silver plated tray.
~Hello...are you there?~
I am and I'm cleaning.
Placed the telephone on a silver plated tray
with a silver plated cup to hold pens and pencils.
Earlier in the Season, we saw a Blue Moon
and for the first time in my 'ole life I believe I could see the face
of a man in the moon.
Our camera didn't capture all the beauty,
but it was inspiring to see.
Vibrant colors for the HARVEST SEASON.
So glad you stopped by.
Love hearing from you.
Blessings,
d

Ahh Dd, now everyone is going to know how lazy I am! :)
Hubby
you have such a lovely home and devoted husband, d :) looking forward to seeing your finished cabinets, etc. so many thoughts as i look at your pictures.. certain elements grabbed hold of my 2nd look: the basket with just a hint of autumn leaves dripping out, the silver platter under the lamp, the knitted cozy (?) by the mug. oh. and clutter. i do believe it seriously runs through my veins! my husband is a minimalist so the struggle/challenge is always there to keep my clutter to a minimum. yipes. not so successful lately. :/
