Old, Outdated?


Uh huh...that's me!
 Well, me and perhaps my decor as well.
Am I the only living, breathing lady left in bloggy world
who still likes brass?



This is a photo of my entry way. I took this yesterday and yes. I still have a brass 
light fixture and brass door accents. I love brass! Always have, still do!
Oh, and guess what? I still love oak! Yikes right?

I have had to come to the cold. hard fact that I am a teensy
 out of step, out dated and just plain old but proud of it!

Now, am I the ONLY one left?
 *listening for an echo*

Warmly,

Decking The Halls


I have been doing a little decking of the halls...oh,
and the dining room, the family room, the living room...





Every well decorated home needs a Santa Bunny right?





Bill brought this hand made rug back for me from Turkey.







Bill got this for me last week!


One of the first ornaments our Daniel made for our tree.



This is an ornament that my folk's bank in Tennessee made long ago...
I had gone in with my Daddy and they snapped this photo and gave it to us!
It makes me smile!

Just a little walk through the house this morning...
I sure hope your holiday plans are  taking shape
and that you are enjoying all the wonderful delights
the Christmas season brings!

Warmly,
Susie Q

A Fall Fluff


It is always such fun to begin the annual Fall Fluff isn't it?


Getting the front porch ready to greet each visitor...


Pumpkins, hedge apples, mini pumpkins and dried gourds.


And even Frank the Scarecrow is delighted to be of use once again..guarding 
a pretty pot of mums!!



Then it's inside to fluff a bit as well. The mantle needed some Autumn themed goodies...


Here is a closer look at the little cast iron squirrel under an cloche. He even has his very own acorn!


Swap out some fabric and accessories for a more Fall like feel...and yes.
 Henry is also very Autumn colored don't you think?


Our foyer with a few Autumn fabrics and decor added...burgundy plaid Wellies are a must!

Oh, the  darker areas you see on the walls are where I am beginning to try my hand at faux peeling plaster.
I am slow but hopefully it will be done before Winter's end! *grin* Either that or we call the painters back who just finished the outside of our house!


The dining room table got fluffed as well...corn, mini pumpkins, 
wooden fruit and pumpkins and bittersweet.

A few more areas to finish and then we will be adding some Halloween fun as well. 
Are you busy doing your Fall Fluff too?

I Am In Love!

Who would have thunk it? I am in love with my new floor! We got wood floors for our dining room, foyer and hall and yes.  I am in love...uh huh. Enamoured, besotted, tingling with joy! Now I just have to finish saving up to have the same floors put into the living room!




I love how it makes the space look so much bigger! Clean and fresh...I love it!
I know it's just a tiny thing in comparison with the amazing house projects I see in blog world but I am tickled pink!


Hope your weekend is a sweet one!

The Season Arrives...




We are trying to catch our collective breaths and begin to embrace the season...missing our Kipper but knowing he is in a beautiful & special place. Thank you all for your sweet messages, emails and cards. You will never know how comforting each word has been for us.

The cards are ready to be addressed, the shopping is done and the pantry is filled with baking needs. We still need to finish the outdoor decorating but today it's snowing! Perhaps we will get that done tomorrow...who knows! It all gets done eventually doesn't it? Tonight is the first party of the season and tomorrow Bill & I will attend a wonderful tour of homes in a historic section of Dayton. I will be sure to get a few photos to share with you.

I hope you are enjoying each day of this glorious season. Stay warm, smile often and embrace the magic!

Love to you all...
