~Halloween Crafts & Maple Pecan Harvest Loaf~

I thought I would share with you some crafts I made this week.

I love Michael's Craft Store, they have lots of wonderful ideas for Halloween!

I made some paper rosettes for the wall vignette.

It always looks so festive decorating with them.

I saw picture frames at Michael's for $1 each.

They came in white, orange and black.

I cut out music paper for the background.

I stamped a cat on one, and I used stickers for the other two.

I had some ornate frames and I cut out some music paper for the background and placed some Halloween stickers on them.

I also made a Maple Pecan Harvest loaf.

I found the mix and the pan at Home Goods.

I love that store!!

It was delicious!

~Sunflowers, Fresh Vegetables & Pumpkins~

Stan picked some sunflowers this morning from the garden.

Placed in a blue vase,

simple yet elegant!

A very special place to sit down and enjoy the garden.

I picked some pumpkins for the wagon today.

 Made a succulent pumpkin arrangement with

 one of the biggest pumpkins from our garden this year.

It was a fun project.

There's nothing like fresh vegetables served in pretty containers,

tied with jute.

Very Rustic!

Just the right look for Fall!

 Cranberry Sunrise Drink

~A little dessert~

Perfect Day

Hope you all had a relaxing weekend!

~Paris Fall Tablescape and Simple & Sweet Fridays #85~

I thought it would be fun to do a Paris Fall Tablesetting.

Displaying white pumpkins and using

 black and white as the color scheme.

I had a Eiffel Tower Candelabra

 that my friend,Yuri, had given me.

It was perfect for the centerpiece.

 A silver tray underneath and white pumpkins around it.

 Some stamped paper placemats in black and white and

 white pumpkins with white roses.

Very Romantic!

I got inspired by an article in Romantic Homes using black and white as the color scheme for Fall.

They also used sheet music paper to wrap around votives.

A very simple touch and they look so pretty when lit.

 Croissants and a French bottle of wine,

of course!!

A lemon tart and some chocolate macaroons.

I love having a centerpiece with candles on it.

I picked fresh butternut squash from the garden 

to display with the white pumpkins.

 Black candleholders and sheet music decoupaged candles

 that I had made to create the Romantic mood.

I took a photo from upstairs.

 It looked like a perfect magical Paris Table.

~Paris in the Fall~

A French Wall Sign that Yuri gave me too. 

I have to find a special place to hang it.

Looking forward to all your wonderful Fall projects this week!

~My New Little Chair~

I found the cutest little chair at the thrift store.

It was painted yellow with stickers all over it.

Just 2.00, so I couldn't say no.

I painted it blue.

Now, it holds 3 baby pumpkins.

Just a perfect little chair. 

I forgot to share with you a gift,

 I gave my friends for my birthday party.

I stamped tags with a cute sheep on them.

Gave it some color.

Added a little fleece to it.

I found these Olive pots on sale at a local nursery.

I thought I'd add some Olive Oil and a loaf of fresh bread.

I saw this idea on Heather Bullard's / Lifestyle blog.

It's the French Baguette Wrap:  Free Printable.

Thank you Heather!  

It made the presentation very special!

All wrapped up waiting to be opened!

Baked a loaf of rustic bread today.

My mother-in-Law, Mary stopped by to try the bread.

I think she liked it!

Have a great week!
