Victorian cones/Tussie Mussie

This is my second black and silver Halloween cone I made. In the cone is a silver glitter skeleton, a spider web with a spider on it, black feathers and a pendant w/ a clock face and a mouse.

Another view of the same cone.

This cone has paper on it w/ watch faces. So I carried that theme at the top. It has a watch face, roses, pearls and a key.

This is a close up of the top.

This is my homespun cone, with old lace,cinnamon sticks, orange slices, gingerbread man, sweet annie and a small rolling pin.

The paper has writing on it. In the top it has old lace and post cards in it.

The paper on this cone is a fashion plate design with victorian women. It has a vintage pin on the front of the cone. In the cone is feathers, pearls, a ladies shoe, flowers, some pictures of fashion ladies, a old perfume bottle and a key. On the pink braide is ladies hands.

Altered lace trees/lace flower wreath

I made this tree out of a foam cone,as my base and then decorated it and embellished it with old jewelry.

A second tree I did. Pretty much the same way, with different embellishments.

I really like the lace flower wreath I made, I only wish the picture was better. I added keys, feathers, pearls, buttons, and old rinestone jewerly

Victorian cones/Tussie mussie

I just did this cone, with flowers from my garden. I dried them first, then did the cone. I think it turned out pretty good.

This is a vintage looking cone I did for Christmas.I antiqued the pipe cleaners, to make them look old. It doesn't show up too good, in the picture. We are getting ready for our Holiday Showcase, October 13th.

Fall Garden

I planted this wheelbarrow with mums and a pumpkin and gourds. It looks so good from the road.

Birdhouses, a star in my one garden. The plant on the trellis, is a Passionflower vine. It bloomed all summer. The flowers were just beautiful.

Fall Decorating

This is  a halloween vignette, that is on my counter.

IAnother vignette.

This is my dry sink, that I got at a yard sale for 5$. I always decorate it for the different holidays.

I even decorate my bears. The big Boyd's bear was a yard sale find for 5$.

Another Halloween vignette.

This is out on my porch.

This scarecrow has a story behind it. I got him at a yard sale for 2$. When I went to pay for it he called to his wife, that this nice lady was giving Bo a good home. They were downsizing, and that is how I got Bo. It made me sad, that they were doing that. But I gave him a good home. And every year I think of them.

This is my Strawberry carrier. This is old. So I decorate it too.

Victorian Cones

This is my favorite, so far. I bought the doll at a yard sale for 10cents. Her hat was red, I painted it pink. Then I started to decorate her. She had nothing on. So I made her very a very beautiful victorian lady..

This is a close up of her. She even has a diamond ring on. I just love her.

I made this cone, a Halloween one in black and silver.

This is another Halloween cone, in black and orange.

Chickadee's

I was just thrilled, when chickadee's built in my birdhouse. And here is the results. This is one of two.

This is the second one.

Not sure which one this is. They are so darn cute.

The mom is feeding one of them.

Well as you can see, this guy got out too far and almost fell the rest of the way.

This is the same baby trying to get back in. And he does.

This was the first one to leave the nest. He stopped off at the church birdhouse.

Now the second one is about to leave. I hated to see them go, they are so dear.

This was the first one that left. I just had too pick it up and love, before he left.

The second one to go. But happy to report they did stay around the rest of the summer.
