Hi Welcome to Keep In Touch.
I've been transitioning from fall decor to more of an "Over The River And Through The Woods" look. I'm mixing in a lodgy feel with my feathers, turkeys and acorns.
It's been fun to pull out warm cozy throws in red and black buffalo check and sprinkling in my needlepoint pillows.
I got a new one off of eBay and it came last night.
I fluffed it in the dryer and restitched the back on. I think it had been done by hand and it was a little wonky.
It is a lovely worn example of vintage needlepoint.
I tried my hand at Mod Podge today. I could not get the wrinkles out and gave up after three tries.
Did any one else think it used to be called Modge Podge?
If not, I spent the 70s calling it the wrong thing.
I haven't been to the grocery store to do a decent shopping since my step mother died.
We were in a sad state around here.
Thank heavens for Bill's Sunday runs to the store.
Guess how much this was?
I picked up some oranges and gave drying them in the oven a try.
The house doesn't smell divine like I thought it would.
They will be cute in a Christmas garland of some kind.
Some apple was thrown in too.
My corner cupboard got an acorn, pinecone and leaf wreath.
I love, love, love!
There was a perfect nail hole on the inside of the door just waiting for new nail and a bit of ribbon.
The ribbon is caught by the nail and it drapes over the top to the outside of the door.
I cannot wait to put a Christmas wreath here.
Bill commented on how Colonial it looked.
That might be what caused the orange drying mentioned above.
It's not all Colonial fun and games over here, however.
I was straightening up my craft and blogging closet today.
I opened my old phone with the thought of taking it in to Apple to see about a repair so that I could pass it down to someone.
This is what I saw.
The battery expanded and cracked the case and screen.
Have you ever heard of this?
Crazy!
Our feature this week is Amy of A Day Of Small Things shares a darling poem and photos on her blog.
I enjoyed catching up with everyone last week. Some are savoring all the fall we can but some are looking ahead to Christmas.
I'm caught between the two.
I hope to blog more this week. Next week will be a little crazy.
We go to Seattle next Thursday morning.
I'm so excited. Our son lives there now but I've wanted to go since watching Here Come The Brides as a kid.
That's all for now.
Katie
