And truth be told, I do understand. I mean Halloween is her holiday...
So I dug through my stash and found a vintage scarf and black clip-on flower for under her chin...
I'm happy to say she is feeling like the belle of the Witch's Ball now...
Okay, back to rearranging and tweaking... The pink polka-dotted pumpkin/pewter candleholder have been moved from the LR pie safe to the DR hutch...
...where the pewter candleholder now sits on the shelf beneath my Nana's photo (I am the lucky recipient of all of her china so she gets a place of honor over the hutch!)....
...and the pumpkin sits atop a small hobnail vase.
And the lamp that used to be on the LR pie safe is now on the little table next to the hutch...
It's nice to have a choice between soft lamp light and bright chandelier light at suppertime (maybe some day we'll get a dimmer for the overhead)...
I moved little Pete the Parakeet (in his HomeGoods cage) from the kitchen to the little DR table...
And last, but not least, I gave the top of the recycling bin a mini-makeover...
The swan was moved here from the half wall in order to make room for the fabric pumpkins...
I placed some of my favorite old books and a bird's nest around the swan, and it gives the top of this little recycling cabinet a whole new look...
Wait a minute Donna, I know I haven't been here for a while.. and you have lost 33 lbs?????????
ReplyDeleteWatta go girl. I truly didn't see it at all, you sitting on that couch with your hubby. I bet you feel fab.
Now your Halloween posts are spooktacular indeed.
I just joined White Wednesday tonight. All your beautiful posts could be there.
Sending hugs from Claudie in Canada

Hi Donna - you are having fun tweaking aren't you? Love Witchy Woman - she has elegance and style. Your recycling bin is such a great idea - we use those dreadful blue bins and keep them on the porch, but I really am not happy with them there. You've given me an idea!
ReplyDelete70 degrees? Oh boy!

Witchy woman should be delighted she looks so bewitching!
ReplyDeleteHello Donna, wow, everything is beautiful... I love how you arranged things on top of your recycling bin... I would have never guessed that was what that is! It looks fabulous! Bisous... Julie Marie
ReplyDeleteyour diningroom is so cute. Love the chandeleir and the pumpkin with the picture of the cat on it :)
ReplyDeleteHi Donna, your halloween decor is so cute! And your banner, very precious! And going thru your blog, I just love your home! So comfortable; you must live in an older home to have such gorgious windows! Something I've always wanted! And all the birds, and pillows! I could go on and on!

Hi Donna -
ReplyDeleteLOVE all your cottage white and especially those lamps with the roses! I couldn't have passed those up either!
It doesn't matter where you put your treasures, it all ends up looking great! laurie
ReplyDeleteI'm with Claudie, 33 lbs. is fantastic! Good for you!
ReplyDeleteYour house is just so sweet. I love it! It's hard to know what to do in these split level homes of ours but I think you've conquered it.
Happy Halloween Donna!
