Time for Pumpkin Spice & all Things nice !!

I haven't been blogging the last week or so due to on going health problems ...appointments etc ...but I am feeling not so bad today so I wanted to catch up with you all ...
I haven't done anything exciting because of having to rest but I will share with you what I have .
I can hardly believe that it is soon to be November ...Halloween just a few days away ...not that we do anything for Halloween other than have trick or treaters at the door.
I am pleased to say it's the Pumpkin Spice Season and I can now get my fix of Pumpkin Spice coffee from my very favorite coffee shop O'Henry's at Homewood, Alabama.
Here I am enjoying a steamy mug of it ...

I made two of my favorite pillows from a Vintage bird Catalogue ...they make me smile every time I look at them.

Of course it's the season of incredible Pumpkins ...that I like to use for Home Decor.

We are experiencing a terrible drought here in Alabama ...where we live we haven't had rain for almost 3 months ...they have had a little in the East of Alabama ..I have never seen a drought like this since I moved here over 18 years ago.
Our bushes and tree branches are flopping down and making the trees look like they are splitting in half ..I have been watering the front lawn just twice a week to keep it from dying but the side of the house and the back garden are just brown and the grass has almost vanished ...still no rain insight for us ..it's becoming a problem ...in the area I live in we are lucky that we get our water from the mighty Black Warrior River but the area's that they use lakes for their drinking water are getting a little concerned .
This lovely waterfall photo was taken this time last year ...I haven't been to see it but I am guessing that it is completely dried up.

A photo of my Autumn colored cat Toby ...he is enjoying the weather and beside him on the deck floor is his little tent he can go in if it does happen to rain whilst I am out ..unable to let him the house till I come home.

Two weeks ago I went to the Thrift store and found this really cute Christmas sign ...totally as new.

Then I couldn't come home without this really cute tin enamel jug only 0.99c....it's just as new ..I just love the cabbage blue roses on it .

It is completely hand painted as you can see.

Our Confederate Roses look great in it ....I can't wait to buy a lovely blue hydrangea ...I think it would look great in this jug.

I also bought two dark green heavy iron Christmas Trees for just 0.99c each  ...that I thought I would take home and spray with Silver Glitter paint.

Here they are in my basement getting sprayed with Rust oLeum Silver Glitter Paint ..this is the before and after.

As you can see you can also put a tea light candle underneath it ...my can of paint started to run out after doing the first one so the second one is not quite as silver as the other one ..but I kind of like it.
The gorgeous candle ring wreaths I also bought at the thrift store but it was last year when I got them ..I have a large bag of them all kinds and sizes ...they were brand new still with labels on ...I got them for $1.50 and later found them in Pier1 Imports for over $50

Here they are ...I may fiddle with which candle ring to hang on them before I put them out for our Christmas decorations ...but I am really pleased that I bought them 

Thanks for popping by. 

I hope you are all feeling great. 

I appreciate you spending a little time with me. 

Enjoy your Halloween.

And if anyone has some rain could you please send us some !! 

Happy Days. 

Janet
