A Halloween Table In Progress & The Most Beautiful Yeti Tumbler I’ve Ever Owned!
Welcome to the 939th Tablescape Thursday! I've been working on a Halloween table over the past couple of weeks, one that popped into my head after seeing so many cute book vases. The table I had planned to share included my favorite "Halloween" dinnerware by Ciroa in the pattern, Wicked.

My Fall-Winter Favorites + Something New That’s Arriving Today!
It has turned quite chilly here over the past few days, enough so that I brought out the wool socks, Uggs, and threw on this adorable hoodie that I bought last year.

Here's a little close-up of the design on this hoodie, it's one of my favorites, especially with Halloween only a little over a month away.

Awe-Struck By This Beautiful Gift & A Miracle Capture At Carillon Historical Park
Recently, Teresa, a dear friend of mine, was here visiting for a few days. During that time, we tried to squeeze in some visits to some of the museums and historical sights around Dayton. Unfortunately, we didn't get to tour Hawthorn Hill, the home where Orville lived with his father and sister, since the available tour dates didn't work for our schedule.

Still In Shock—I Can’t Believe This Happened!
It's been almost two weeks, and I'm still shocked every time I step out my back door. On Friday, September 4th, a big, fast-moving storm hit. It wasn't like the storms we normally get in Georgia; this one came up extremely fast and was gone within minutes! The winds sounded intense, so I glanced out my office window. I could see the branches of the trees all leaning in one direction. Then I heard hail hitting the windows, and knew it was time to head for the … [Continue Reading...]

Welcome to the 920th Metamorphosis Monday! I have a fun, happy update to share for this week's Met Monday!
