Fall is my favorite time of year - next to Spring that is...

 I know that Halloween is just around the corner but on
days like today, I love to stroll outside and enjoy the
clean, crisp air. I snapped some shots for you to enjoy too..

I love gourds... we grew these in the garden at 

The Wade Creek House along with that beautiful 

Cinderella pumpkin that has yet to turn color..

In the fall, there are so many beautiful types of foliage.  

Look around your yard and gather what strikes your
 fancy.  Fill a vintage container....bring the outside in.

Tree Benches... how fun

Some scenery -
 the lavender trimmed and the "Air Mail" mailbox

that came with the house.  Love it

I am sorry that I have not kept up with the blog as well
as I should but you will see that change.  Stop by and
check  out the new area.  We hope to have it open by the
end of the month...  I will keep you posted.

Thinking of Mom

Life has thrown us a bit with the passing of my mom.  She always loved to come to the shop when she was in town and being in my parents home, I saw some of those things she brought home.  The candlesticks that fit just right on her narrow mantle with the guardian angle sitting next to them.  The deer in the garden brings back the memories of that day.  Even though she is gone from our sight, we will be forever surrounded by her presence.
Miss you Mom.

 But can she type?

We are lucky to have an acre which we seem to be slowly filling up.  The new building is coming along and
soon we hope to have more treasures and a place for year around workshops and classes.
Stop by and check it out!

There is always a place to sit, rest, and enjoy the view.

Thank you kind Sonya for more great pictures.    I even have more for another post so hopefully I can be more timely!

SO MUCH NEW FUN STUFF

Thank You Sonya for such great pictures.... I have finally worked through this picture process. 
The shop is full of such fun and unique itesms.. Stop by..  And while you are there check out the new building where we will be renting out 8 x 10 areas for more wonderful merchandise.  You can check out the area where classes and workshops will be held.  So much is happening.  I wish I could say that about the garden.  The dahlias are coming up followed by the zinnia, cosmos, straw flowers and statice.  Hopefully we will have a wonderful Fall to enjoy all these flowers.

A beatiful way to light up your life..

Pretty in PINK!

Sweet vintage salt & pepper shakers

The building is going up.......

    Last Thursday, Bill and Tim spent the day scraping, leveling, adding gravel, and leveling some more.  Parker Buildings was coming the next day to drill the holes so no time to loose...

                                                                                                                                   

I am missing pictures in between but not many days have passed since we broke ground last Thursday.

Parker Buildings drilled the holes on Friday, inspection on Monday, materials and crew arrived on Tuesday and this picture was taken this Thursday afternoon.  What a great group of people.  It looks like they may finish their portion tomorrow and then it will be our turn.....
