Pillows, a meltdown and a magazine

Fall has arrived in the NYC Area with cooler temps (more rain)...we ventured into our attic and retreieved the boxes of Fall and Halloween decorations. I added a few new things this year....

I found these on Pinterest.....

Which lead me to this blog: Chapman Place which then lead me to this Etsy Store.....the result....

They are now in our bedroom!

This is what we found in one of our boxes in the attic (it was a hot Summer)

My wax pumpkin was no more....RIP....

Something else I was able to do this weekend is finally get a chance to look at this....

If you are not familiar with Bird or Bird's Party you are missing out some God given talent. She is

a very talented gal with so much to offer the party gal in you ... You can check her out at

her blog: Bird's Party and her Shoppe while you are at it, why not Like her FB Page too!

October starts a new school month with so much fun ahead!

Enjoy your Monday my friends!
