What I Bought & Other Pictures...

    I did buy a new garden flag at Horton's on Saturday..  It was 1/2 price.
   Picked up one of  these old postcards of our town....it was a shot taken during horse and buggy days. Most of these old buildings still standing.
   I bought some little gourds to add to our porch décor. Plus a few small mums. I will just use them for decorations and not plants them..
  I bought a few white pumpkins also.. They are just too cute.
  I thought this was a clever craft idea. You could make these with kids or grandkids. It's an old paperback novel.
  This  purse looked like something my granddaughters would love.
  I liked what this bracelet says..Love is how we earn our wings.
  There was a display of little metal wings. This pair is hanging on an old bottle.
  I love this old leaf rake, painted in ecru. They use it in many of their store's holiday décor. See you can't throw anything away...it can be painted. LOL
  Yesterday's sunset made the bean field across the road shine like gold. I love this.
  I think the low clouds made it a strange kind of lighting.
  The sunset was pretty. It seems to set in the little wooded area on the corner.
 Look what an odd color the setting sun cast on our house and shop. The lawn looks good in this shot. :):)
 I brought in the hummingbird feeders and cleaned them up to put away till spring. Ted filled all the other feeders and put the wood box on the new back deck and actually filled it already. I am hoping we will not need it for a very long time. :)
    Wishing all of you a wonderful weekend. Have fun. XO

    1. Hi Vee, I love decorating our porch for seasons and Christmas. Yes, our lawn is nice but it actually needs mowed. LOL. Today it's raining and not likely to get mowed now. Hope you have a fun weekend. Blessings, xoxo, Susie

    1. Hi Judy, I use to get all my garden flags at the Earth Festival...but I do not go to that...too much wlaking...so I have been buying flags at Horton's. Some times I get good buys. They can be expensive. I like to have one that will last the whole season. I like those wings too. Blessings to you, hope you are having cooler weather. xoxo, Susie

  6. Your place is all decked out for Fall. You have a really good eye for always finding the neatest things. As always, beautiful sunsets and that's neat the way you caught the unusual colors. I would have had to catch a pic of the bean fields too! Gorgeous.

    1. Nonnie, Ted was laughing at me trying to get my shoes on to get out and snap those sunset photos. I told him the skies change so quickly at sunset. LOL. I was amazed at the deep but bright colors. Blessings for a fun weekend, xoxo, Susie

    1. Wish you could have seen me trying to get my shoes on and out the door, before the sunset colors changed too quickly...you know it can change in 30 seconds. We are basically green here still. The crops have changed but not so much the trees. I hope you are feeling better honey, enjoy your weekend. Bless you, xoxo, Susie

    1. Kathy, I know you love sunsets too. :):) Some times they change so darn quickly you got to get right out side. I was just loving the colors. I like to have a new garden flag for in the back and a small one in the front...for every season. Blessings for a great weekend , xoxo, Susie

    1. Hi Jenn, I had not seen the hummers for about a week...so I thought it was time to put those feeders away. But we put out suet cakes and sunflower seeds. Blessings for a fun weekend, xoxo, Susie

  13. Your fall decor is very pretty and welcoming. I have seen some unique and colorful gourds this year. I purchased some postcards of north GA this past week, also. The bracelet is very cute. Wishing you a nice weekend.

  15. So many pretty decorations! I love Hortons...vicariously through you!

    Lots of rain here, I wish I had done more patio clean up. I know we will have sun and high temps again but seeing everything soaking wet makes me think the dull wet weather will never go away.

    Anyway...Happy Weekend, Susie!

    1. Vivian, I do love all those pumpkins. As a kid I sure do not remember there being that many in the markets. I love to see the corn stalks tied to lamp post or porches, with mums and pumpkins near the stalks. Like you did your plastic pumpkins on a sheperd's hook, I have seen pumpkins in small to large sizes stacked together, like a totum..so cute. Blessings, xoxo, Susie

    1. Hi Nancy, I really love junk stores. I remember the first one I was ever in...it was in Illinois. They even had a jar of pennies and I laughed and laughed about that. I took my husband to the Treasure Mart once and he found a brick that had the name Kokomo imprinted on it...it was 5 dollars and he tells me, "We are rich !" ...we had just done a patio in those very bricks. LOL. Blessings, xoxo, Susie

  19. Susie, I can't tell which goodies I liked best because I liked many of them. I'll start with the metal angel wings, love those!! The purse is cute and made me smile, as I'm a bit of a gypsy myself. The old postcard is so cool of your town during the horse and buggy days. I've seen the book about my town when it first started, and I've always wanted to get one. I love the little white pumpkin you bought. I'm always torn between the white pumpkins and the orange pumpkins each year. I love them both. The sunsets are glorious, and you always get the best pics of them.

    Have a wonderful weekend, Susie. Your lawn and front yard looks so pretty with the Autumn glow in the distance.

    love, ~Sheri

    1. Sheri, I love the angels wings too. They have a big pair on the wall there. I liked the small white pumpkins to mix with my multi colored faux flowers on the porch. :) It rained all day Saturday and is gloomy this Sunday morning...I need sunshine. :):) Thanks for always leaving sweet comments on my blog. I truly love that we are freidns thru our blogging. I know we would be best neighbors...if we lived near each other. Blessings to you honey, love, xoxo, Susie
