From Messy to Marvelous!

When we downsized to our townhouse I wasn't sure what to do 

with my collection of scarves.
I love to wear scarves...to me they are like wearing a necklace!

I had been keeping them in this black trunk....

which was fine until I needed to actually wear them!

 It is getting cold here...and looking through the endless pile of tangled mufflers  

was getting old...fast.   Hmmm...what to do?

A simple curtain rod and a couple of tools....and...it's an "ah-ha" moment!

And now there is plenty of room in the trunk for my shawls!

YES ~ it feels good to be organized!

Bring on the snow!

A Pitcher Full....

Today is my friend's birthday

I am meeting her at Starbuck's for a cup of coffee

...and a pitcher of happy wishes!

This is my gift for her.

I found this lovely ceramic pitcher and filled it with 

a fun kitchen apron...

and a bag of my homemade 

"Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins"!

These muffins should be the perfect touch for our "coffee party"!

Look at that yummy cream cheese filling!

Happy Birthday, Marsha!

Here is the recipe for you...

 I made some plain and some with chopped walnuts on top!

Pretty in Pastels...

I added some fun flocked bottle brush trees 

to my ETSY shop today!

They are great for creating a wonderful Christmas display!

 

 

 There is no denying that Christmas is on its way!

 

 

A Fun Find...

Do you ever have Friday Family Game Night?

I am always on the hunt for new games to add to our collection...

And is this not the cutest "Coffee Table" Game ever?

 I found it at the thrift store...

in perfect "new to me" condition!

It is just so cute with the little plastic cups & saucers, folding coaster game board

and it's wonderful wooden storage box!

It's only a "two player game" but heck...

sometimes "family" game night turns into "Me & My Hubby" game night!

And the price was certainly right....$2.99!

It's the kind of game you can just leave out...

...because it looks cool!

What games do you like to play!
