Notice our ETSY store is back. I have listed two totes and two linen pillow cases to kick things off. All items are now screen printed, so they will stand the test of time. The Euro cases are 100% linen, and the totes are made of cotton/canvas. More to come, when available stock allows. I hope you are having a wonderful weekend with family and friends!!

We headed out last Saturday morning for this Kansas corn maze. We left with high expectations.
The boys and my nephew were all smiles when we arrived.
First, they enjoyed the Jupiter Jump, and had lots of fun posing behind these cute corn guys….
Then, we ventured over to the pumpkin patch to pick a few pumpkins. We soon found out that it was too muddy and wet to walk the paths with the wagons they provided to wheel them around in. Darn……
Max leaving the pumpkin patch with no pumpkin…..
We were all fine with that because the big event “ the giant corn maze” still awaited us. Adventure was just seconds away. ….
Here the boys are…..gearing up for the hour long travel inside the maze. We are all excited!!!
Even Sis was all smiles……
But… What is this? All eyes turned downward at our shoes sinking in the mud underneath us.
We were stuck… Seriously. We kept trying to walk, but we had no luck. Giant mud puddles were everywhere.
Sis even wore her UGGs. Not a good plan.
It was icky!!! Both of my little boys fell. They were covered in mud from head to toe. It was not fun… So, it took us 15 minutes just to find our way back to the Entrance. We never made it through the maze. Too much mud and way too much standing water. ..
The end of the story is that we were given no refund, everyone but me took their shoes off and put them in the back of the van, my boys had to strip down to undies for the trip home, and I left my boots outside the van and we drove off and left them. Thank goodness they were cheap. ……but I loved them!!! Double Darn!!!

Well, you know how I love a little glitter, so when I saw this cute skeleton, I had to snatch him up. I found him at TJ Maxx early in the season.
This is my favorite thing I have found this year for new Halloween decor. They carry these at Michael’s. You just peal and stick. They can be used year after year.
Fun Vintage Inspired Decor….
I kept things simple in my dining room. Less is more…..
Have a wonderful Wednesday!!

This was the perfect way to end our little weekend trip. We loved seeing the “Curious Sofa” all decked out for Halloween. It is creative overload here. The owner is amazingly talented. That is for sure. I hope to get to visit when the store is decorated for Christmas. Their Christmas open house is Halloween day. A total transformation will begin taking place this week. Wow!!!

We loaded up last Friday night and headed to Kansas City.
just me, my mom, sis, and my BFF Becky…..
On Saturday, we traveled to Atchison, Kansas to Nell Hill’s store. We were blown away….truly. I have heard/read about her store for years, and Sis and I decided it was time to see what all the fuss was about. We were told to travel to her Atchison store and take in the “full” experience. We were so glad we did. On our way there, we passed apple orchards and farmer’s markets. It was such a perfect autumn outing. Atchison was a precious, small Kansas town, packed with historical homes and quaint shops. As an added bonus, they were also having their annual Octoberfest activities. Perfect!!!!
These are a few of the items I picked up for me. :)
Curious Sofa pics are next. Happy Wednesday to all!!!

This was her October 2005 issue. I fell in love with this witch. Inside, Martha provided instructions on how to "build" her, and we (me and my hubby) just had to try. I was seven months pregnant with my second son and had very little energy, but this project was so much fun. Martha provided an online template that enabled the witch to be printed off in sections. We could never get this to work, so my husband gave me the dimensions, and I started drawing free handed. She is not perfect, not even close, but we (especially the boys) have enjoyed her so much!!
Our version....... I added a few crows.
At night, we light her from behind and you can see her silhouette. Spooky!!!
