My hubby and I took a little much needed vacation time this week. We took a leisurely drive up the coast, took the grand babies to the pumpkin patch, visited a local amusement park and even managed to tackled a few projects on the home front as well. Now I have so much to share that I hardly know where to start.
Because I never seem to color in the lines, I think I'll start with my Friday outing and work backwards from there.
My sister in law and I planned a little shopping excursion to a few of our favorite stores that are all decorated for the holidays. I never arrive at her house during any holiday season without my camera in hand and Friday was no exception.
These photos are all from here charming home. She is a collector of vintage and has such a knack for display. I've learned never to make a quizzical face at her purchases because she always has something brewing in that creative mind of hers.
She claims not to be crafty and says she can't sew but somehow manages to transform adorable fabric into pillows and slipcovers in the blink of an eye...
give her a few picks of seasonal goodness and she works her magic...
She has a wonderful collection of quilts and vintage table cloths and is not afraid to use them. That's one of the things I admire about her...she somehow manages to always put the love of people above the love of things.
I have more of her vintage Halloween collection to share tomorrow...and then maybe you can help me convince her to start sharing some of her talent with the blog world herself.
I'm joining The Tablescaper for Seasonal Sunday...
