Change of Seasons...

The weather is starting to cool, you can feel that crispness in the air....This is my favorite time of the year. I just love fall! My morning glories are starting to fade on the arbor to the entrance of my yard...
I love decorating and changing my porch for the seasons. I love harvest and the pumpkins, but am not too much into Halloween orange and black. I am thinking about painting some pink with polka dots to match my decor. I don't know? What do you think? Maybe too much....
I went out to yard sales last weekend and didn't find a whole lot but this cute birdhouse for my porch and
some wonderful vintage drapes...
There are three good size panels. They were well used and beginning to wear on the edges. I am thinking they are good for pillows and projects...
I know I scored...two bucks for all three!
I also found this tattered old wedding booklet. The pages and pictures inside are so beautiful I thought I'd share a few...
It's dated 1909 wow! I wonder what Elmer and Estelle's life story would tell?
 Well, enough day dreaming I decided to get to work straightening up my workroom. I have a bad habit of tossing things into piles to deal with later...
Like the inside of my new pink store counter....Yikes it's almost full!
I love to pick up little itty bitty things....My friend Sheri and I will go flea marketing and she goes straight to the big thing and me I figure, I guess I will have more room for little items....
   Well, I never can come home empty handed or can leave a button or baby without a home...or anything that catches my eye in the shade of PINK!
 Have a wonderful week and enjoy this beautiful autumn weather! Pinkie Denise

The Secret Cupboard....

My mom, Mary loves to collect and decorate. As a surprise from her God child Corey of Tongue in Cheek
featured some of my mom's home in the Magazine Romantic Homes May 2008 issue. I was asked by a sweet blogging friend to take a closer peek into the Secret Cupboard. This is for you Myrna.....Enjoy!
I filled the cupboard in a hurry for a Blogging Party get together....It's treasures are monochromatic in color and hue...
Sweet christening gown, probably made for a very special little one...
I gathered everything I could of the same colors, cream, whites, browns, and black, the guest were arriving...hurry! Tin types, cabinet photos, buttons, lace, lovely beaded purse, Santos crown, mercury baubles, old clock and a china head...
Antique children's clothing neatly folded, a vintage hat, old books and a sweet little lass...
Pages from an old Petersen's magazine, old etched mirror...
Old letters, teacups buttons and beading from and old dress...
Beautiful china head, transfer ware bone dish, postcards and a faux cake....
Fillet runner that hangs over the cupboard door....
One of my moms Bed doll creations...
Folded paper ornament...
My old mannequin, The necklace a beautiful treasure, a gift to my mom from the sweet Ullabenulla...
Photo of  my Mother, Mary as a child...
A collage of items gathered into a Victorian frame....
Hope you enjoyed the peek into the Cupboard. This was fun to put together, but stretched me a bit. I so love color....
I have been busy getting my daughter settled in at College and had the most wonderful time at the retreat. Have some amazing stories to tell of new found friendships....trying to catch up and hope to be settled to have some more time to visit with my blogging friends Pinkie
