COME all ye...

Thanksgiving is at our home today

(no not an invitation, don't show up)

Turkey shaped gingerbread cookies from Kneaders

(pies too)

Mr. Roses cooking all the stuff

(remember it's his idea to do this)

okay, I made the layered jello.

Have you ever tried ordering a Ham from

Amana, Iowa? oh my heck!

(ups can deliver in 2-3 days)

My three sons coming today

So I can get away with this...serving on pretty plastic

and they won't even care (or notice).

Their mama is happy to toss plastic right into the trash!

I have too many unpleasant memories

of Thanksgiving dishes since I come from a large

family and we always went to grandma's house.

At the shop we have wonder fall scarves

and jewelry

to wear to your Thanksgiving dinners

brought me some home and

my daughter in law will get some for her birthday.

Little granddaughters have Pinkalicious

and the pink pumpkin books awaiting them on the

antique double desk they love to sit at.

And a parting gift...to kick off the

2011 Christmas season.

Underneath the book is a package

of Oreo cookies with red peppermint filling.

after dinner relax to...

Mary Janes farm

Come all ye...

Bakers, crafters, quilters, cooks collectors

I love these two pages.

Mary Jane shows a family photo year 1955

and tenderly describes the presents.

It also shows her fathers money ledger from 1941

they paid $18.00 for a wringer washer

and get this...$100.00 for the singer sewing machine!

I didn't know she was such a lover of RED, did you?

The shop is also featured

and she tells how she feels about it all.

But I don't want to spoil the party

so I'll go...

(remember that song from the Beatles?)

and picking at the dinner before they arrive is

making me sleepy.

Top 10 Wall Art Ideas for Your Home

If you’re doing a home remodel or simply need to implement a change for a more modernized appeal within a room in your home, it’s hard to know where to start. Knowing which direction to go can be accomplished by understanding all of the available themes for an interior. There are many different types of wall art to incorporate into a stylish home. Which room flawlessly ties in an ideal type of wall art? Well, we’re about to answer these question to get you thinking and inspired.

1. A Lofty Approach

Do you have a loft in your home? Rich tones and luxurious fabrics are perfect to add to a lofted bed. Extra large wall art is appealing in a loft because it will take up a large portion of the wall in the loft. The large wall art will pop as a focal point and look ravishing in your space.

2. Neutral Influences

Neutral shades are a lovely addition to any room. Renaissance wall art usually comes in neutral shades as do European tapestries. Find wall art in beige, white, and grays that seamlessly fits into a classic master bedroom.

3. Fit for a Queen

Think lush and romantic colors with a theme that features art such as courtship and romance wall art. A wooden bed frame also adds to a stately look.

4. Romancing the Room

Want more of a fairy tale appeal with lace, flowy curtains, and a gauzy canopy? Incorporate shades of pink, beige, or light blue. Decorative designs for wall art will not take away from the overall look but create a stunning decorative backdrop.

5. A Hunter’s Forest

A hunter loves accents with wood influences and dark and intense hunting themes. Discover hunting wall art that features hunting scenes that will flawlessly fit into a hunter’s forest bedroom.

6. A Gilded Stroke

Stroke your bedroom with gold tones for a posh and sophisticated look that will woo you over. Bar and lounge wall art flawlessly blends into an elegant room that will make you feel like the jazz music scene while enjoying a glass of wine is coming alive.

7.  Add a Pop of Color

If you love color, find a brightly colored bedspread and a few other tones that will complement your interior. A chic look is bound to be found with oil paintings that incorporate beautiful colors from the sunset. 

8. Red Rebellion

Find hues that add a deep look to a verdant room. Red is luxurious and looks stunning. Perhaps canvas art with modern influences or a tropical silhouette is what you are envisioning.

9. Animal Intuition

Having a room decorated like a safari not only means you love to travel, but you have a vibrant and fun spirit as well. Accessorize with zebra print pillows, a leopard blanket, or both!

10. Eco Green

Building an eco-friendly room with environmentally friendly products will make you feel better for taking care of the earth and also you’ll be living in earthly bliss. City and country scene tapestries will fit in beautifully with the down-to-earth themes in a living room and more.

Witches Tea Party

An event where the legs and feet

were just as clever as the hats.

Besides the home being dressed head to toe!

It was like a haunted leafy forest as we

excited-ly walked down the foggy lane.

Crunch Crunch

(that's the many leaves under our feet)

Kim Holmes of Salt Lake City 

a fun- funnest customer

invited Joni and I to her yearly

 Witches Tea party.

Little did we know...what to expect.

As we sipped from our tea cups

and dined on the most amusing treats

we realized our friend Kim was a sweet

version of Mary Englebreit.

Because...

 this is a "big deal" in her life... this

Witches Tea Party...

she paints her entry walls Pumpkin. 

OH so many vignettes to

entertain her many witch friends.

Through out her home there were

sweetly decorated dining areas

where witches could sit

and do what they do best...

CACKLE or CACKLING

you know.

I must say...

We almost wanted to grab a shopping basket

her collections so cute.

Well, now we can say we have partaken

in the Halloween festivities this season

 having been to our first

Witches event.

For real.

Halloween for us is... work work work.

(okay, we do have lots of fun)

Thanks Kim

for giving us a relaxing fun place to

be a little witchy

and playful.

These EYES...

I dare you to stare back at them
