Wintry Woman...

Wintry woman has finally made an appearance at our little cottage...


And she's dressed for anything Old Man Winter might send our way...


... from her sparkly silver, fur-trimmed Santa hat (under $3.00 at Walgreens - shhhhh, she thinks it came from some fancy boutique!)...


... to her fashionably oversized sunglasses (I've had these since the first time they were in style which shows how old I am! It also justifies my need to hang onto things, knowing the truth behind that old addage, "everything old is new again" - but shhhh again - WW thinks they were bought new, just for her!)

... to her "oh so soft and warm" pink scarf (again, shhhh... she doesn't know it's a hand-me-down from Witchy Woman, who didn't know it was a hand-me-down from me, as is her 'collage' brooch!!)

Well, she got bundled up just in time, because if you look out our dining room window, you'll see that we had our first official snow of the season last night! Not more than a couple of inches, which were then glazed with ice...But they're talking up to a foot of snow tomorrow... Old Man Winter has definitely arrived... (Wintry Woman asked if I'd move her next to the window so she can watch the snow falling tomorrow! As much as I dislike snow, I have to admit that WW does have a point....I also love to watch the snow falling)...

Keep warm everyone!!

Witchy Woman....

... is our house guest for the month of October.

Okay, she may not have the proverbial wart on her nose...


...and her skin may not be a sickly shade of green...


But make no mistake about it... She is a witchy woman (albeit a shabby/cottage styled one!)...


I met her last month at a vintage shop, and she spoke to me (figuratively, of course). I'd been searching for a simple styrofoam head, and she fit the bill perfectly. (Her face is gouged up and she has a pinkish red stain on her head, but I like to think of all that as vintage charm!)


She rather enjoys being decked out in one of my soft scarves and rhinestone brooch. And she loves that I jazzed up her Target witch hat with a black rose from my stash. But she was not happy about being in the living room... No, no, no...


She insisted on being moved to the dining room so she could "oversee" my dinner choices this month.... Apparently she thinks we'll enjoy eye of newt and beak of crow more than the Blasted Chicken I posted about yesterday...


Fat chance, Witchy Woman. I like you in the dining room, too, but the first complaint I hear about what's for supper, and it's back to the living room for you!

If you'd like to check out some more Halloween decor, or post some of your own, join the party at A Soft Place to Land!

Comment Update: To Connie, who suggested I paint her hat pink... Don't think I didn't give that some serious thought! ha ha But in the end, I left it black and gave her some of my favorite pale pinky/peachy color in her scarf!! However I am thinking of adding some kind of ribbon or trim above the brim of her hat to make the flower pop more. If she gets a makeover I'll be sure to post a photo! And since she's going to be up year round, I'm already thinking a Dr. Zhivago styled fake fur hat for the New England winter... Maybe that could be pink!
