Owls Are In!

 Have you noticed that owls are everywhere.. Do you ever wonder how something like this gets started.. I do! Years ago my dad had candle molds and the top one is one that he made. The little one is a gift from my sister yesterday. Thanks Pen!

 So I have a little of my dad in me. I just have a hard time throwing things out. This candy machine was in his shop and my brother found it in some rubble and was going to scrap it but I said let me see if I can do anything with it. Any ideas. I tried an electric toothbrush with baking soda and got a little off. I thought how cute it would be with candy corn in it.

 Fan was another get rid of from Penny and of course it came home with me.

 Penny bought a pair of chickens and of course like we always do being twins we split them.

 Perfect scentsy for fall dont you think?

 This will make two typewriters for me. I love them. Kinda a heavy piece to collect.

Okay on to this yellow laundry basket. I love it. Didn't really have room for it but I just needed it. I love the rack on the bottom. I almost put it in my kitchen for my recyclables because I am really in that mode right now. But thought it looked funny.  My son Noah flew to Arizona this morning for the Duck football game. Hoping he is having a great time. Sure by now he has had a few to many drinks so I will wait to hear from him. We lost a dear family friend yesterday. RIP Papa Bill. You will be greatly missed here.

A Weekend about Londyn!

 The picture above is one during the summer. I adore this one.

 Yesterday she had a birthday party for her friend Reece. It was a princess tea party. So glad I made the effort to go as she had so much fun. Not so long ago my kids were this age and I remember doing all these things with them. Now it has moved on to the granddaughter.

 Today her momma and I decided to try and beat the rain that was predicted around 1:00. We made it, again so glad I made the effort as I thought a pajama day would be nice. Gammy and Londyn pictures. Jordan sent these too me from her email so I assume she didnt care for her pictures..

 The petting zoo consisted of these cute little pigs(sign said they may bite) and two billy goats.. But they were sure cute.

This place was in Jefferson and all pumpkins were a $1.00 unless over 35lbs, we came home with like 7 pumpkins. I thought today how good god is to me. It rained a like an hour later. When we went to Costco where we drove around looking for a space and one pulled out right in front. Sometimes its the small things that you reconize! Blessings Pam

Some People Like Shoes,

Some people like purses, I just happen to have a thing for Scales!!!! I have been trying to be good and not buy anything for the house and save my money for a trip in the first of the year.. I stopped into Goodwill and just happen across this postal scale. It had stickers all over it and I looked at it for $9.99 left it there and went back 5 hours later after thinking how much I liked it and could shabby it up with paint and remove the stickers. I havent painted it yet but I think for now it will sit in the kitchen taking up so much room on the counter.. Sure enjoying such amazing weather this fall.. Having a great weekend. Went and saw the second movie Taken, a nice lunch at a pub, sometime with Londyn(granddaughter), first use of the fireplace last evening, and looking forward to seeing my parents later today... Have a great Sunday! Blessings Pam

Welcome October!

What a beautiful fall we are having. I am so thankful for it... I wanted to send a special thank you out to my friend Laura who brought me this beautiful table.. She saw it at the Goodwill and said she knew if I would of saw it I wouldn't of passed it up. She is right.. She also moved me out of my booth this last week as I have been dealing with a very sore right shoulder. I am guessing 15yrs of waitress work is finally taken a toll on my body.. So have been limited to my computer time in between ice and heat packs. Really not complaining but very blessed by her. I gave up my space at Not to Shabby. Sad but relieved at the same time as Time is really not what I have right now to devote to it.. So thanks so much Laura... Enjoy the beautiful sunshine we are in for this week. Now if I could only remember to water my poor mum!!! Blessings Pam
