I'm Back....
I apologize for being MIA for so long. I didn't plan on it happening. My Dad came to visit from Tennessee (he hasn't been in town since January). It is easy to forget how much you miss someone until you get to spend quality time with them.Here are some of the highlights: (P.S. My Dad and my brother are going to kill me for this :)
In fact, I expect to receive a call from posting this any minute now.....)
These pictures make me smile, (and it's not becausemy Dad and brother look like they have
had one too many yard long drinks at Mardi Gras...)
but because they laughed, let her dress them up, and were wonderful sports as Grandpa and Uncle. (I told my brother all the single ladies love this look :))
I love you both so much!
OK, back to home decor......
I have had my fall decor up for weeks now....and have obviously been procrastinating posting.Over the living room mantle.
The sideboard (the bizarre white blur from the right of the photo was brought to you in part by Dora.......I am wondering if perhaps she might be radioactive...)

Metal pumpkins in the manspace.
The table scape on the living room coffee table.
A trophy (97 cent thrift store find) , pumpkin and bird on an end table.
In the kitchen.
A pumpkin on the pear topiary.
In the master bedroom, in a hurricane, layered with pebbles, moss and a pumpkin.
Our dining room.
The Moroccan lantern was $2 at a garage sale.
The ceramic bird $.99 at a thrift store.
The faux cloche. I found a broken hurricane candle scone at a thrift store for $.25 - the kind that attach to the wall, and a candle fits in the bottom of it (upside down). I glued a dowel rod end to the end of it to mimic a cloche. My Aunt recently gave me some gorgeous beaded fruit.
The acorn ball was also $.25 at a thrift store.

Here are the metallic topiary pumpkins I refinished,
I missed you all so much, and am so glad to be back!

Lovely fall decor, it makes your home look extra warm and inviting.
I love your sideboard.. I think I need one :)
Your dad and brother are great sports
I have Beyonce's Single Ladies going through my head as I look at pictures of your Dad and brother dressed to the 9's! What good sports, not only to let her dress them up, but to pose for pictures that can come back to haunt them at some unknown future date.
I love reading your blog and get so much inspiration from your creativity!
Have a great week.
(And I'm pretty sure we can add "radioactive" right up there with being a pushy brain-washer with no sense of direction. Poor Dora, she doesn't look so great on paper...)
Thought of you so much while I was there!
Your brother is a cutie (no worries, old and married here)and your dad looks like a fun grandpa. I think it is cute they played along.
