It's time!
I love Halloween! All the stores started putting Halloween stuff out in August along with the school supplies, or so it seemed to me. Too early, even for an old witch like me! I try to contain myself until October first - then it's out with the pumpkins and cats and everything orange and black. I just put the pumpkin in my welcome sign on the door and I confess, I got the basket and candles out of the back room yesterday before I went home. I know I have more stuff in storage - which I am hoping to go for another van full of boxes tomorrow afternoon. We even have slightly cooler fall weather! What is it about autumn that's so invigorating?
I inherited this baker's rack from a lady who moved to Texas - isn't it cute? I changed the drawer knobs to Mary Engelbreit beehives - goes with my business logo - and my plan is to use this for handmade cards for sale. Right now it's a great spot for my McCoy flower pots and some baskets that I don't know what to do with - I have that problem a lot! I've also had another bright idea of something to sell, but I have to unearth my sewing machine from storage first to see how long it takes me to make a prototype. More on that later...

that's just a darling little rack! I loved your comment, because I was asking my husband the exact same thing!! (we women just think alike) I mean my goodness, how did it take that long for him to smell it, he drives around his car all day long!! too funny.

I don't do Halloween decorations, per se, but I have some more generic fall ones that I can leave up through Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteI am with you on Halloween- it's the best time of the year for me to find stuff with black cats as the theme. And when I was a "rat mom", well, Halloween was the ONLY time of year to find little rat figurines!
