Outdoor Decor & GS Finds

Hi. I can not believe it is Friday already. Seems like I'm always busy but not accomplishing too much!! I was just thinking how awesome it would be to have a maid and a cook on duty all day. I could just go in my room, shut the door and craft away. I suppose until I win the lottery, that will never be an option. I have alot to get done this afternoon so this post will be short on words and long on pics. I just love those!!!

I did get outdoors yesterday and get my decorating done. My MIL grew pumpkins this year so she blessed us with a bunch. Every year, I plan to plant some, but forget to remind my DH not to spray part of the field by us so I can plant the seeds. The chemical he puts on prevents germination of seeds. I usually get so aggravated that we farm so much, but have to buy pumpkins!!! This year, we didn't have to. I did buy the gourds and would like to keep some seeds for next year.

I did get to some garage sales today. It has been awhile. I found some cool things. I bought the basket for $3. I has holes in the corners and the bottom, but I still love it. I thought of my friend Ann when I bought it. Her blog is A Hole in the Basket Primitives. The gourds were 25 cents each. The lady in front of me bought a bunch and she had the really good ones. GRRRR.

Isn't that little chest just beautiful!! I plan on painting it and using it for a jewelry box. I'll let you see it whenever the time comes to paint. One can never have too many totes!!


This little crock came with the little shelves up above. All three pieces for 75 cents. Pretty good deal. Well, that's all for now. We have lots going on this weekend. I hope you all enjoy yours.
