OCTOBER DAYS...

Wonderful October days!  Since I have moved back to my hometown, the weather has been beautiful and friends said I must have brought it with me-ha!  I cannot leave a pretty leaf on the ground and have been decorating with them and painting them.

 





I also ironed some between wax paper like my Mom used to do and that not only makes them lie flat but they retain their color longer.

And I was pleased with the water color, too. 

The cooler days are great for cleaning and I organized an upstairs hall closet and covered with a pair of drapes. 
To make your own water color painting even if you cannot draw, see my http://kerrieskrafts3.blogspot.com blog for instructions.
Thank you so much for visiting and do come again.  Leave a comment, I love getting them.  Have a wonderful Autumn weekend!

Fall at Two Happy

Fall here in South Carolina is a joy!  Leaves are just beginning to turn into brilliant colors, the nights are nippy and the days are warm and sunny!

This is a wreath I made last year from a garland of fall leaves, ribbon and berries.

This is on my front porch, a spray of fall flowers in my Mourning Dove planter.

And inside my front door are my favorite fall pictures of my grandson and granddaughter at ages almost 2 and 3 yrs old in the pumpkin patch at a church.  I leave the photos on a wide ribbon up all year long so I can see their wonderful faces.  They are now 14 and 15 1/2. 

 Seth is showing his wonderful enthusiasm as Rose is amazed by so many pumpkins!

I just love these pictures and never get tired of looking at them.


I find beauty in everything and the leaves are just beginning to change here in SC.  Only a few Bradford Pear leaves have fallen so I made roses from them.

This is my Pilgrim cookie jar with an Indian Mother and Papoose beside her.  I put the tablescape on a tray for easy removal at supper time.

 This is my hand embroidered table runner I made several years ago.  I just love the fall decorations so much!

 These are Lavender and white Mums in the same pot that came back from last year.

And these are fabric leaves with real "Live Oak Tree" twigs and Acorns set on them.

I hope you enjoyed your visit today.  Wishing you all warm and beautiful fall days to enjoy while you can before Winter's cold wind begins to blow. 

Come back soon, thank you for visiting and do leave a comment for me :)

Decorating for Advent

I just love all the colors of advent leading up to Christmas.  They are soft, pastel, soothing.  And rather than rush headlong into the Christmas decorations, I chose to decorate with mums, candles and table runner in the Advent colors.  For information on Advent, see my Kerrie's Home Journal Blog.
   I am still getting things out of the attic and will be bringing out all my old favorites very soon.  I have felt ornaments my Mom made a very long time ago and hang them on the tree every year in her memory.  One year I just had to have the "It's a wonderful Life" ornament with the picture of James Stewart and Donna Reed!  I also have an ornament with my favorite rendition of The Madonna of the Poor on it.  I do so love that one.
   What are your favorite ornaments?  
As I take them out, I will photograph and post them.  Have a very nice last Day of November and then it is just 25 days until Christmas!!
