last day of October...

off to a Halloween party...

Addison and big sister Karissa all dressed up and ready to go party!

they were so excited to be cheerleaders...Mom dressed as a football player and Dad was dressed as the coach...what a sweet family!

a girl and her truck

I Thought I would hit the road this morning to do a little estate sailing....I got skunked. Don't ya hate that when that happens? especially now that the weather is turning chilly,( tomorrow's forecast: 39 degrees and snow flurries) there won't be many sales coming up...oh well, maybe Spring!

another gorgeous fall day...

Addi and I can not get enough of the beautiful fall colors all around us!
a perfect day for a swing on the big maple tree....
these days are numbered, it is getting chilly.....
so we venture out as much as possible...
Happy autumn from our little nest to yours!!!

This is my hometown...

Come and join Addi and I on a walking tour of our home town....
the beautiful colors behind our garden gate....
notice my bay windows? they are clean! put the storm windows on yesterday and washed everything in and out...I love that fresh clean vision out my front windows! fall is the best.
Out the front door we go......

Our church on the hill....
Main street u.s.a. (sorry this is so blurry)
beautiful mums adorn the shops...
this is the old store I used to sell antiques at, now a floral shop...
A quaint little homestead in the middle of town...just blocks away from us.
I hope you enjoyed our little tour! Have a great fall weekend! take care, Gail

How to reupholster a ottoman

It was the perfect day to recover my ottoman....above is the before photo.
I took off the old cover and used it as a pattern to cut out my new fabric...
pinned it together and sewed it up! I just copied the old one....
tipped it upside down and stapled the fabric to the bottom.....I like it!
I put my feet up with my favorite book and snuggled up next to the fire, a perfect ending to a dreary Sunday! I hope your Sunday was a pleasant one!
