A Second Look

Hello Friends~ ~

Above is the little table dressed for Fall.

Last week I posted this table decorated in summer dressing. If you'll remember I got so excited when I saw what Artie had done that I just grabbed what was available and that meant all the items I was packing away for the season. Nothing like doing it all twice in one year. I loved the look but lets be practical, it's fall so the summer deco has got to go.

This is the little table just after I painted it.


Above is the summer deco I did in a hurry.

This is the fall deco against all the colored leaves of Fall.

I'm thrilled to have my own little corner to knit and work on craft projects.
You can see above that the Valances match the tablecloth. I had two yards left over

from sewing the valances last summer when we moved in.

It makes a great table cloth.

All I did was put it in the washer to fringe the edges for a casual look.
I put roll up shades on the 10 windows in the sun room to keep it cooler

in the hot summer months and to keep the warm air in on winter nights.

The valance is for the shades to hide under when not in use.

I used a few of the same objects and added the little glass pumpkin. There is a local artist who makes them and it was a gift from a friend.

This is a lace project I started in the basket with a few balls of yarn.

Changed out the pink geranium for ivy in a tin box.

This is the sweater I'm working on. The back is finished, this is the start of the front.

Mittens I wish I was talented enough to make. . .someday perhaps.

Summer To Fall

Hello Friends~ ~ ~

This is the way my diningroom buffet looked all summer.

My Great Grandmother's pitcher and bowl set. Isn't it lovely on the white buffet with the lace?

I am so grateful to have it and in perfect condition too.

My Mother would display it when I was young so now we both can enjoy it here.

I am not a fan of matchy matchy so you will see that both sides of my buffet decorations are balanced, but they do not match. I really like that. This is a close up of the left side.

This is what it looks like dressed for fall.

Mostly the same things with just small changes.

A pumpkin and a few leaves. A fallish candle.

Also I changed out the crystal candleholders for brass.

Seemed to say fall to me

Oh and the new wallpaper border.

Here again, I have used a stack of books to get a pleasing height for the lamp.

Books are great for changing heights.

The apples didn't last long they are now in canning jars as applesauce.

This is a little arrangement I did for the one side wall in the diningroom.

An old lace hanky, some dried leaves and a few cranberry branches.

I love the little wire star on the side and a tag I made last year.

So true. Don't forget to D..r..e..a..m!

Wishing you a dreamy week.
