Sep. 24, 2008 - Fall Decorating
Fall is my favorite time of year. I love all things fall-ish. My Mom says its because I was born in the fall. I'm not sure about that but I do love it. I get all vaklempt (not even sure that's a word) when it gets a little chilly outside. I have musings of casseroles, chai lattes, and a cozy fire. For some reason, though, the weather is not cooperating with my musings. Growing up in Seattle, you could pretty much count on a change in weather right after Labor Day. Not in our new home! Its pushing 80 degrees today. Don't get me wrong...I love 80 degrees but I'm seriously ready for fall!
Since fall is officially upon us, I thought I would get into the spirit with some fall decorating. I know a lot of you have been wanting to see my house so I took some pics of a couple little fall vignettes that I made with my $0 budget.
I painted this mirror an olive color - it was previously gold. I just wanted something different, ya know? I kinda like it - especially for fall. Not sure if I'll keep it like that or not but for now, its okay. Mr. Topiary and Mr. Scarecrow Man came from Joann's ages ago. I bought that little planter guy at a garage sale just a couple weeks ago for 10 cents and the hydrangeas I got at Michael's for $5. Look how little and cute my girls are in that picture!
I took apart a fall wreath-gone-wrong that I got at a garage sale several years ago. I never liked it enough to use it as-is because it just looked so...well...fake. So I took off all the fake-ness and re-purposed it (I think that's the new term). I stuck some of the leaves and berries in my birdcage and the other apples, berries, and such found a home in this little pumpkin pitcher (this was originally filled with a flower arrangement that I got from my Dad last year for my birthday).
So there you have it...close to $0 spent (okay it was $5.10 but in my book that's close to $0).

Sep. 23, 2008 - Can You Believe It?!
For the past 6 years, we have not been able to get our cars into our garage. In Seattle, this was a problem because of all the rain and when we lived near the water, the salt water was our issue. Now, in the desert, the problem is sun. So I'm not sure which is worse on a car...rain or sun (I think the rain is probably harder on Mom than it is the car!).
SOOOOO......my oh-so-awesome hubby has been hard at work making shelves that go up above the garage doors for some storage. With all this storage, guess what we were able to do.....
You'll have to look harder....
What's that I see? Oh, its a car! Its my car!
Oh, and Reid wanted me to include this picture since it captured the true masculinity behind the madness.
