Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!!

Thought I'd share a couple verses from my favorite Thanksgiving hymn - enjoy.

Come, Ye Thankful People - Henry Alford

Come, ye thankful people, come, Raise the song of harvest home:

All is safely gathered in. Ere the winter storm begin;

God, our Maker, doth provide For our wants to be supplied:

Come to God's own temple come, Raise the song of harvest home.

Even so, Lord, quickly come To Thy final harvest home;

Gather Thou Thy people in, Free from sorrow, free from sin;

There, forever purified, In Thy presence to abide:

Come, with all Thine angels, come, Raise the glorious harvest home.

Ruffles and Rust 2010 = AMAZING!!

I know, I know, it's been awhile since I've posted...
Last weekend was a whirlwind.
My first show ever, and well,....? It was a complete success!
A wonderful time was had by all!

I didn't get a chance to take any pictures myself, so I'm thankful for Elise Marie Photography and Tres Birds Photography. They did an amazing job capturing the show. Be sure to click on their names, to see more photos from the show.
So much eye candy!
Thanks ladies, for all the beautiful pictures of my space.

My flower pins sold out right away. Wish I would have had more ...

The two drawers in this old chest were filled with my scarves.

I sold vintage found goods as well.

My rings made from vintage buttons and old costume jewelry, were a hit!

This pair of vintage dance costumes were a definite conversation piece,

as was my vintage prom dress.
Stella (my manny) quite possibly, might have been the most photographed lady at the ball. Ha!

Timi and her Come Junk With Us posse, rocked!
She promoted and ran the most amazing show. Nothing was spared.
It was an honor to be included.

I also want to thank all my customers for the support.
It means so much to me, I appreciate you all!
Thank you, Thank you!

Salty and Sweet Perfection

When those bags of candy corn hit the shelves, I can't help myself.
I grab a bag, some cocktail peanuts and mix up my favorite snack of the season.

Yay! It's Fall

This past weekend we headed east of the mountains, to my brother and sister-in-law's cabin. Now, is one of the prettiest times of the year.
The leaves have begun to the change. The mornings are chilly, and the days still warm.

Our main objective, was to do some of this...

...and this...
(The girls never miss a chance to ride on that quad!)

...for this.
Aahh, winter warmth!

Dexter loved hanging out in the woods with us too.

While the boys (and my SIL) cut and loaded firewood, I walked around the property enjoying all of the fall beauty - like this vine maple. Gorgeous!

I don't want you to think I do nothing but play and take pictures, while everyone else sweats. Ha!
My job for the weekend - designated cook. I love feeding the hungry workers!

We're so thankful they share their place (and firewood) with us.
The entire weekend creates good times and great memories - we love it!
