Vintage Friday

This year I'm adding vintage light reflectors to my vintage tree. I found these on Ebay last week and they are perfect for my tree. I'm also adding these vintage icicles.

Vintage Friday

Here are some pictures of old doorways I saw on a recent trip. I love the look of old doors with their peeling paint and rusted hinges. I like to think about all the people who have passed through these doors and what their lives must have been like. Each of these doors has a unique history and hundreds of stories.

The Scoop

I just finished reading this book this morning. It was my first novel by Fern Michaels. I usually don't read novels but I enjoyed this one. It was light reading and I didn't need to think about it. It was just for fun. Of course, now I have to read the rest of the series as soon as it comes out.

Making Laundry Detergent

This afternoon I made a batch of laundry detergent. I have been wanting to do this for a long time. I actually bought the ingredients weeks ago, but forgot about them until today. It was very simple and the kitchen smelled great. I am going to wash a load of towels to try it out.

Breathe

This is the air I breathe

This is my daily bread
Your very word
Spoken to me

And I ... I'm desparate for you
And I ... I'm lost without you

This is air I breath

And I ... I'm lost without you (eh hey, yeah)
And I ... I'm desparate for you
And I ... I'm lost without you

And I ... I'm desparate for you
And I ... I'm lost without you
I'm lost without you

Pumpkins

This is one of the biggest pumpkins I've ever seen. It is already too heavy for me to lift. I was able to turn it a couple weeks ago, but I can't do anything with it now.




Our little pumpkin patch has exploded! I had no idea the leaves were so big! Someone told us the vines will follow the sun. Well the sun must be in the trees because our vines have started to climb the tree and there is actually several pumpkins growing in the tree. I am going to keep them there until they start to get heavy. I think it's so funny.
