Got Pumpkins?

Some pics of the pumpkin decor at our farmer's market:

I love this banner. I want this banner.

I wish I could do something like this to decorate for Thanksgiving, but I don't have the room. Maybe a mini version . . . .

I thought it was really clever, writing the recipe for pumpkin pie directly on the pumpkin.

Wouldn't be the country without the classic hay bale, weird squash and wooden cart display. Now I'm definitely in the mood for Thanksgiving.

That banner is awesome! You could paint that, you know ;)

I don't decorate for Thanksgiving. We're more than 250 feet off the road, up a hill, so no one would see it anyway. I do for Christmas because of all the lights. To me though, "Thanksgiving" lights look like Halloween lights and vice/versa and I guess I'm not big on that. But come Christmas...look out! ;)

Thanksgiving is my most favorite holiday.

Seeing your pictures reminded me of one year when I threw four or five decorative gourd seeds in the garden. OMG! It engulfed a 20x 20 foot area. Friends got tired of me giving them away. LOL!

I never again planted them, but maybe someday I'll put them out in the big field. They're welcome to take over that ground.

I know, in my spare time, had I any! Ha.

I rarely decorate for Thanksgiving except some table centerpieces. We're getting some new family members this year, including Oliver's aunt and grandfather and cousin from his mom's side of the family, so I'm trying to be a little more decorative. Maybe I'm just stick to centerpieces and food. :)

We're twins; it's my favorite holiday, too. I think it's because my Dad loved it so much, and I feel him right there with me in the kitchen while I'm cooking.
Also the leftover turkey sandwiches are pretty awesome.

I know better than to throw seeds anywhere around here -- I did that as a kid with watermelon seeds, and they took over our backyard. :)

Other Stashes

Along with clearing out the spare bedroom and tidying my office and our guest bedroom, I decided to reorganize some of my stashes. This is all the yarn I have on hand, sorted by color. It looks like a lot, but lately I've been using up a minimum of half a bin every month, so this is approximately a year's supply. All of my solid color cotton perle thread. I go through a lot of this every year, too. I need a container in which I can fit all of it together, but I haven't found the right one yet. I won't show you all of my fabric -- I'm still reorganizing this stash -- but I went through everything and donated two bins of fabric I won't need to the local quilter's guild.

Love Means This

Invested in a couple of hand-dyed bundles from one of my favorite fabric artists. This one said "Make me into something for Valentine's Day." So I went for a quilted and embellished tote. I kept thinking about what love means to me as I worked on it. Here's the finished tote. Although I was tempted to embellish with beads and pins, I got sick and only felt well enough to do a little stitching every night. As I worked I thought about how often love seems disappointing to us, especially when it fails to live up to our expectations. But now that I've experienced love in many forms, I can say that it's made me a better person than I might have been without it. Love is a precious thing, and should be appreciated in all its forms. I am very grateful for the love of my guy, my child and my friends who have stuck with me all these years. That's you two, in case you're wondering. :) Also finally found something to do with a ve...

Store Closing Haul

The mega Books-A-Million store over in Sanford is closing, and offered an extra 20% off on their current stock -- all sales final -- so I went over to do some shopping. Safely but sadly there was no one in the store but me the entire time I was there. The Holly Jackson novel is for Katherine, the Halloween board book is for Oliver, and the copy of Garden Spells is to keep on hand because I give that book to everyone. The rest of the books are for me. I love Anne Cleeves, and the Galbraith novel sounded interesting (the first couple weren't, but I'm willing to take another chance.) The Escape Room is by a new-to-me author, plus it was cheap. The GreenCraft mag is just a guilty pleasure. Hopefully the smaller BAM nearer to me won't close. I don't buy many books from brick-and-mortar stores these days, but that's really the last one within reasonable driving distance.
