Fall Creations, For Me and Thee

Oh Its That Time again....Fall is coming

I started thinking about last year
and how excited we were....
we were in a new home and preparing to have A Primitive Place come and do a photo shoot.......

This year.....I want to get decorated but
Id like to change things around a bit....
actually I do have my Keeping room
arranged a tad different since the magazine was here...and some pieces in the
Gathering room have been moved around too

so now......what to do for a fall feel
well....I will start creating a few goodies...just for me.....
oh and if someone Just has to have one....
they can be for me.......and thee

Here is the first..her name is Greta and she grows her own garlic, to sell ..
with the money she buys fabric to sew
clothes for the family.
she is sooo sweet.....she says Garlic is good for what Ails you......hmmm I might try eating more of it..

Fall Is My Favorite Time Of Year

Fall is Coming........and I have created a special gal
that will bring a fall touch into your home.......

here she is............

Edith Humplewick, loves Fall.....

She starts early hunting down all sorts of stuff to decorate her Home with...she never passes up a free pumpkin, and especially loves Black ones...she wears a bright pumpkin color coat over her black wispy dress...she is so clever, she "hand-Did" stars all over her coat just to look Festive...she has black striped leggins on her antique bobbin legs, to keep her warm when she is "bobbin along in the woods"...she has sweet annie hair, and keeps it looking Pretty , by wearing a big ole rumpled hat..she stands.....15 inches tall..and is a OOAK creation..........$36

Turned off The Music

I decided to remove the Old Cape Cod Music ......I love the song, it reminds me of my MOM........but I was thinking maybe some of you , rather poke on a blog thats quiet!

Pics of The Flowers

FLOWERS are Blooming

We have so many lovely flowers, the gardens , I fell for
when we came to see this house last yr..I loved the gardens so much I didnt notice, the house lacked alot of closet space...
and didnt notice a few other things.....the flowers captivated me
I do love the house though.......we can work on things that are missing


I havent got the time to spend , working out there, but they
just keep blooming anyway

Its like each of the plants are saying, here I am, see me......Im the prettiest
They all behave well.....getting along with each other and they are
waiting patiently for the time when I can work out there , with a big straw hat and a long homespun dress......for now.........I will post a few pics
Enjoy~!!

mending fences

I always had a picket fence, in most of my homes
when we moved here, I really stretched the budget, just to get in the house and try to make it somewhat more "me"
so a fence was going to have to wait..

well I got lucky and found a used picket fence, on Craigslist, so we got it
for hardly anything.......and David finally got it put in

The herb garden will come later
I will post some pics of the fence......and more flowers next time.......

right now I need to pack. heading off to my grandaughters recitals tomorrow!

Some of our Flowers

Heres a few pics......from our spring gardens

The gardens really needed alot of care when we got home

tons of the grasses has been out all winter......so David had to cut those all back...


its alot of work!

IM back On Cape Cod Yay!

Well we arrived home to Cape Cod, and have been here about a month now
I guess its time I get this Blog going again



I am so busy getting ready to do Walker HomeStead show in Brookfield Ma...and
also working on orders.......But I will post some pics of my Spring Flowers that
were waiting patiently for us to return !

When I Get Back To Where My Heart Is!
