Fall'n in Love with Autumn

Come on in...it's a Fall Cloche Party, hostess is Marty at

A Stroll Thru Life.  I'm not sure who's been more excited about all of this her or all of us.
Last count is 83 participants.

This is the entry way console and my glass pumpkin jar that has Werther's Caramel candies.

Help yourself.

This is the real cloche in the house! 

We got it in North Carolina at the furniture market when we got our leather couches. 

It was love at 1st sight.  Made in Portugal. :P

I tried to stuff my fabric pumpkins up in there, it is harder than it looks, girls.

Let's move into the Mastersuite to my dresser.  I have a found objects jar going.

Lil fella loves to pick stuff off the ground from Nature.

Those are my wine corks and I found the Hawk feather at the farm this summer.

These are acorns, rocks, pecans, moss...finds of Nate the Great.  He collected an entire cup full of acorns at baseball wonder's game last Fall.  No, I don't sneak this stuff into the trashcan like my friends do.

I promised him he can keep adding stuff all Fall too.

Just above Blog Land Port o' Bliss!

I had to show ya'll Lil Fella's Jack O' Lantern globe. : < }

I think the big Cloche looks better here and it won't get banged into or broken.  The little pumpkin orange garland of leaves looks good on the empty birds nests..birds and babies have flown away.

This is a Trick or Treat station for the boys. I am suppose to make lemonade or Apple Cider in this.

I keep it set up with their ice cream and dessert fix'ns.

I hope you can see the Snoopy Cider and Country Living caramel apple dipping sauce. 

There is also a bat lurking on the cider spout and Pumpkin seeds in the Ball jar.

I gotta get in close to gross ya'll out with the blood-shot eyeball gumballs. (Marshall's)

Some of ya'll don't have to deal with pre-teen boys, they eat this stuff up!harharhar :D

My precious apple cake plate that Hubby splurged on 1 yr. serving up green apples

that need to be dipped in caramels and rolled in nuts...where are those sticks?

This is a cheese dome and mirror ensemble with pears and green apple. 

Look at my baby cloche with Riesen chocolate candies. 

I had NO idea what it was for until I saw a fellow Dishy using it for a butter pat.

It is from Princess House, my mom gave it to me last year.

My favorite stamp w/orange background.

I would most certainly not be this far along in Fall decor without Marty's enthusiasm.

I wish you Autumn Joy to fill your heart, home and life. xox!!

Labor Day tables

Ya'll we went to Schlitterbaun, New Braunsfel, TX for Labor Day!!  It is an amazing hill country area in the heart of Texas and world renowned waterpark.

Susan, I promise I'll have lovely tablescapes to show this fall and winter!  But, until then...this is one of the most expensive tables we've ever sat at but talk about convenience.  We went woohoo'n for 1.5 hrs. and then came back and snacked.  It's a good thing for a Fibromyalgia chick.  Then off we went again.

This is what I fed the gang before the waterpark adventure.  The expensive accomodations came with a kitchen so we coolered in the goodies.  Got Syrup?  we didn't...had to sprinkle with sugar.  Doesn't it look good on the simple restaurant white dishes?

Dish love to you all and I've got a fall table coming soon after the Cloche party tomorrow.  Susan has an all seasons set up for us today, Wow!...BetweenNapsOnThePorch.  Love...xox!  DeniseMarie

letters spell words too

I am late to the party...

These are front and center.  I found the W at Carolina Pottery this summer.  I've been a Block Mother

for years.  I love the kids at the Elementary and Jr. High schools I pray for with MomsInTouch.org!!

I got the mat for $5 at Ross recently and have had the birdcage clock for yrs.  xox blocks. :P

Late Spring I had this Tommy Hilfiger bag monogrammed.  They did a terrific job matching the straps.

This hangs in Nate the Great's room

This is above the entry door that I must put our numbers onto.

This was a dusty blue until blog land.  I painted it cream and sharpie markered w/a stencil and added scrapbook stickers.  The boys love to be served their snacks on this. :P

scraps of  paper and some letters...needs to be updated for Fall.

Always remember to Bloom where you are planted and Pray without ceasing.  Blocks say 16 LUV because this summer was our 16th wedding anniversary.

Loverly blog party and congrats to pulling together a wonderful showing!! Go to Vintage Junky to see even more letter and number postings.  xox!
