My ATCs and Getting in a Fall Mood

Started pulling out my fall decor and these 'wee 3 pixies' are a favorite on a old crocheted tablecloth..

Bought some faux Chinese Lanterns at Joanne's and had to do up a fall arrangement in a majolica jug..

I finished up my Swap cards and had fun doing..bought a set of Thomas Paul melamine plates on ebay to go with my transferware..but..to thin to eat off and not pretty enough to hang.. sooo will use for something.. picture taking??! hmmm...

If my swap partners are looking ..oops! but 'you' don't know who gets what!! heeeheee.. plus some extra treats..thanks Dani for hosting a fun swap, see her at: http://www.ambitionsdesign.blogspot.com/.. and if anyone is interested in 'Swapping' I have a extra set and bag o' goodies.. leave a comment and will pick a partner on Monday ..

Shopping in Petosky

Dang! went to my 'dashboard ' and found this posting and had 'forgot' to add to my blog! So a month or 2 old.. but is alittle bit of fun stuff , while I was away..The Deer is 'MudPie' melamine coaster [ got the plates too]..

The Cabbage bowl was my Birthday present from my sister..love it.. and added the 2 tall bunnies to my 'faux chocolate' bunny collection..Bought them at a sweet shop in Petosky..

My Thomas Paul melamine plates.. A funky theme on transferware.. maybe fun for a fall table setting.. the owls are my favorite..

A tray full of bunnies..

My sister on a windy day of shopping in Petosky..My first time there and really liked the shops and layout of the town.we had a nice time and look forward to going back...

This was a cool shop all done in creams, rust peeling paints and all the stuff we like to ooh! about.. and they had a table top done in Turnips in glasses..really was kinda pretty..

well, my favorite place was our first stop The Quiet Moose.. rustic chic, lodge look interiors and lovely gardens in the Back of the store..

Had to take a picture of my sister and her daughter in the pretty setting...

Inside the store a cottage look,love the painted dresser and bird lamps..

Shell buttons on furnishings and candle sticks..

Hmm ..not quite our cabin but got some nice ideas..

Like the birch bark valance..we could do that.. this is where I got the Deer plates..

My niece Bre by the cabin bed..

Stuffed racoons in a canoe..what more can be said..

Yeah, that's me ..not the best picture,l ook kinda grumpy but wasn't.. just tired.. and that desk need some accessorizing!..think I need a coffee ..

RocknRolla - New Trailer

Looking forward to this 'Gerard Butler' movie,I like all the Guy Richie pictures,but think this will be a fav..hmm wonder why...woof!

Home and Working..

Bought these cool digi papers [used in my new August blog banner] at http://www.twopeasinabucket.com Rhonna always has the coolest designs..

Wow! I was only suppose to be gone a couple of weeks ...and well ended up being almost 2 months!! [gone longer than had planned, but all worked out] First I want to apologize to all for the long delays, as no access to a computer [which I did miss!] ..had a great time with my sister and her family... then spent time with my daughter and the sweetest and most busy of grandkids..Played alot with Legos and Bionicles!! Kept me busy and even lost 8lbs.!

Will post pictures tomorrow of a few fun shops we visited...but for now here is some pieces that will be on http://www.pfattmarketplace.com/ for 'Sale' Sunday Aug. 10th.. So the coming weeks my brain is focusd on "HALLOWEEN" for my 'only' upcoming show in Oct. "GHOULTIDE GATHERING"http://www.ghoultidegathering.com/ and will add new items in Sept. to the website...
