harvest decorating

Hello my friends ~ This weekend I decided to do a little harvest time decorating ~

A little fall colour in my little heart sconce on the fence ~

It's always lovely when your front door says "Welcome" ~

Little pumpkins in my window boxes.  A little straw too ;-)

My little wagon in the front of the house filled with the fruits of harvest time ~

There must be a scarecrow or two ~

I hope everyone is staying warm and cozy and I do hope you have a WONDERFUL week ;-)

How are you decorating for fall?  Please tell me....

damp and cold ~

Hello friends ~ I have missed you soo much.  Mr. Vintage has completed all of his tests and now surgery is scheduled for November 25.  Hopefully, all will go well.

It is so cold and damp today.  What do you do when it's cold and damp?

Make your own sunshine

A nice hot cup of coffee

Add some yummy oatmeal apple muffins on a Sunny Plate

Would you like a cup?

Mommy, can I have a cup too? and a blanket?

I wish the sun would shine ~

Hey look Mommy, the sun is coming out ~ yeah!

Now that Mindy is settled and we have our cup of coffee and a muffin ~ tell me, what have you been up to. 

((((Hugs))))

Autumn is upon us ~ and treasures

Happy Autumn everyone ~ Autumn is slowly creeping in ~ I think summer is slowly fading away like the twighlight  (although we have indian summer here)

I would like to share with you a few of my treasures that Mr. Vintage and I picked up on our trip

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Fiesta Ware ~  In Ontario it is really expensive, so I keep my eye out for a real deal.  This little cream and sugar with the tray was a real bargain ~



I just could not leave this little creamer behind ~ I love this shade of blue ;-)

Is anyone looking forward to Autumn ~ I get this nesting feeling and I love to cook and bake bread ~ yummmm

Here is my little chicken waterer  that Mr. Vintage picked up and then painted for me ~ I just love it~!

What is it about yarn that just says ~ comfy, cozy and warm ?

Well, as a PS my girls are leaving me eggs every day now ~ I hope you all spend your day eggactly as you wish~ Are you feeling the fall nesting instinct like I am ~?

Tell me, what are you doing today~?  Please tell me ~ I enjoy it so much when I hear from you ~ it makes me smile

;-)

Happy Sunday everyone ~  As you know, Mr. Vintage and I went camping ~  We visited the Aylmer, Ontario market ~ what a wonderful place

This booth had the most delicious raspberries ;-)

There are Amish here and I have to say that I Just adore them ~ they are so peaceful and wonderful people ~ and their food is absolutely the BEST

Into the market we went ~ We bought potatoes, squash, raspberries (yummmm), and so much more ~ then we spotted this ~

Isn't this just the swetest toy chest you have ever seen?

We just couldn't find a use for it (no children and no grandbabies) ~ so we left it behind.  It was VERY hard to leave this little sweety behind.

Off we went to look at the lovely homes ~

Aren't they just fantastic?

This one is my very favourite ~

Later, as we read the "Homes for Sale" paper, we found out that this home was converted into condominiums ~ what a shame ~ such a grand, grand home.  So beautiful.

On the way home, Mr. Vintage was in a playful mood and he said this was going to be our retirement home ~

A little bit of a fixer upper ~ Doncha think?  But in it's day it must have been beautiful....

Do you see the beautiful side of  things that have been tattered and torn or am I just a romantic?  I would love to hear from you ~ I always try to see beauty, even if it is not so beautiful today.  This house must hold so many beautiful memories ~

(((Hugs)))

We're back and a surprise~

Hello Dear Ones ~

Mr. Vintage and I are back from our camping trip ~ It was soooo relaxing ~

We went back to our favourite spot ~ Everything looks so different than back in July, but it's still so peaceful and beautiful ~



We listened to this all night ~ so soothing

Even the goldenrod was lovely ~



Even though we were camping ~ we had such beautiful dinners ~

And an after dinner walk through here ~

And we would come out here ~

 When we got home, our little chickens left us a surprise ~

Our first egg~!

Next time I'll show you pictures of all the wonderful places we visited and the lovely Amish people.

I missed all of you ~ what have you been up to?

Can't wait to hear from you

(((Hugs)))

Morning Glory and Tomatoes ~

Hello everyone ~ Well, it certainly has been a busy day around the Vintage household. 

It has been sooo hot here in Ontario (115 F), and today we woke up to cool cool temps.  In the 50's ~

My morning glories are just beautiful ~

They are starting to grow right into the green house ~

I took advantage of the cool weather and canned tomatoes ~

mmmmm ~

The turned out beautifully ~



Mr. Vintage helped me peel all of the tomatoes ~ thank you Mr. Vingage ~ ;-)

What did you do today?

Can't wait to hear from you

(((Hugs)))
