~ Fall in the Living Room ~

Hi my primmies. Hope you are all having a nice weekend. Its colder than I can take here! Brrrrrr!

Thanks for all the compliments on the entryway. I am unable to comment on most blogs right now. What is up??? I'm sorry. I'm visiting but I can't comment at all. I'm sorry. I'm loving everyone elses decor too.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I’d like to take a minute to tell you some fun news about my friend Pam at Primitive Blessings in Orient, Ohio. She asked me to help her step into the land of blogging and join us on the WWW. 

So please take a moment to head over to Pams new blog and give her a big warm welcome to blogland!!!

Primitive Blessings New Blog

If you would also be so kind as to welcome her on your blog with a post that would be great too! We can never welcome new bloggers enough!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Also stop by Angie’s blog to see pics from our Crafty Friday night! We had a blast!

Today we are checking out fall in the living room. I hope you like it!

Nope… those chairs don’t match. But the one on the left we bought new in 2000 and the one on the right came from the goodwill last year. They are the same chair so someday I’m hoping to slipcover them so they match. Until then… it’s good enough. :)

Hi, Carmen,
Primtastic job on the decorating! Was that
a little mouse I saw hiding behind the
pillow in front of The Spells & Potions book? Soo much to see, I had to go back
and look at the whole post again!
So pretty.
Warm Regards,
Susan
