Thanks to my son-in-law, Matthew, for putting my “outdoor heater” together for me! I actually bought this last year during the “Black Friday” sale at Lowe’s, it’s on wheels for easy moving and the drink tray is moveable, up or down. If you’re in the market for one, wait till then – it’ll be $50 OFF!

Fire Pit – READY!
I finished the fire pit last night after work – getting ready for my “Harvest Party”! It’s ready to go . . . I found these pavers/bricks at Lowe’s and they’re only $1.26 each. Super easy to put together. Here’s the link: http://tinyurl.com/grt96aa Whose ready for S’MORES?
Quotes
I found these signs in California when I was out there for my reunion in August. I love them and finally got them up in my dinning room. I found the little arrow at Hobby Lobby. I thought “mirth” might mean wine, lol, but this works too . . . looking forward to some “mirth” at my Harvest Party!
Mirth: glee, hilarity, merriment, jollity, joviality refer to the gaiety characterizing people who are enjoying the companionship of others. Mirth suggests spontaneous amusement or gaiety, manifested briefly in laughter: uncontrolled outbursts of mirth. Glee suggests an effervescence of high spirits or exultation, often manifested in playful or ecstatic.

Kneaders is Here!
I love going to Kneaders when I visit Amie & Matthew down in Colorado Springs. I just a found a NEW Kneaders that opened last week in Thornton. It’s located on the corner of 98th & Washington (across the street from Culvers). They have great sandwiches, great breakfast, awesome bread and incredible bakery goodies!! Amie & Matthew got the Cannoli’s for their wedding from Kneaders, YUM!
Yahoo! Chandelier Up!
Yahoo! My chandelier is finally up and I love it! I had two chandeliers at my old house and I wanted to bring one of them with me. This one use to hang in my scrapbook/craftroom. It’s perfect over my clawfoot tub!
Thanks Texas Bestie!
Thank you Robin for my adorable little owl coffee mugs!! They look so cute on my shelf!! xoxo
My Texas Bestie
My Texas Bestie came to visit for a few days! We had a great time, eating, shopping, watching movies and eating more, lol! We went to Golden on Saturday (where they make Coors Beer) and shopped at an outdoor Vintage Market in Parfet Park. The weather was perfect and after looking around we had lunch at Dagotto’s Panini Bistro – it was very yummy and their Limoncello Cake was incredible!! The market was fun and had some great vendors, it’s actually called “Old House Vintage Market”. I found this awesome metal art. I love it and it looks so cute with my little metal goats (from decorsteals.com). Thanks for coming to visit Robin!!! xoxo
Here’s a link to the bistro in case you’re ever in Golden:
My 1st Bell Pepper
Yahooooo! And there are more coming!
Fall is in the Air!
Fall is my favorite time of year! Cooler temps, football, sweatshirts AND my very first “Harvest Party”! When I bought my little farmhouse one of my dreams was to have my pumpkin patch on the side of the barn and to host an annual “Harvest Party”! Well, the Pumpkin Patch is in (thanks again to my son for building my pumpkin patch fence!) and the “Harvest Party” is scheduled! With that being said – my brain is totally into Harvest Party mode . . . every creative brain cell is ON. Whenever the “Fabric Quarters” go on sale at Joanne’s I’m there. I bought the squares for my harvest banners earlier this spring and decided to pull out the sewing machine this weekend and get’um done! They are a tad bit time consuming buttttt you’ll have them forever once you make them! With every 5 Fabric Quarters you buy, you’ll get 2 banners (12 pennants each and each banner is 9′ long – the length of the bias tape). On the tutorial below, I was making those for my daughter’s wedding so I spaced the pennants out because I had a boatload to make – now I place the pennants inside the bias tape, corner to corner.
