Good Rainy Evening everyone!! oh boy when it rains it pours and it is certainly pouring today..Was going to go to my church thing tonight..but I don't like driving  in the rain at night and especially when it is pouring out..so today I did my dusting..most of it..will finish up tomorrow along with cleaning and mopping... as I was out getting my fall decor from the upstairs of our garage my postal girl Stephanie dropped off a package to me..and it was my swap that Jenn of Bittersweet Prims put on..and She had my name for the swap..and OH MY GOSH!!!She spoiled me rotten..I am in love!!!she made me that wonderful penny rug which is going to look soooooo great on my new kitchen table..I can't wait to get it in tomorrow night..she did a wonderful job..and it is my first penny rug..She also made me the two prairie bonnets on both ends of the peg rack..now they have homes with the ones I got from Lecia..they look so good.:)here is part of my fall set up...but notice that cute little witch doll sitting amongst the pumpkins..that too came from Jenn..Oh she is just too cute for words..and below she sent me some great smelling tart melts and some dried flowers to use in my prim crafting.:)Jenn you rocked this one right out of the park!!! Thank you so much for putting on this wonderful swap and for my awesome prim swap goodies.:)okay now for the fall decorating of this post..Here is the dining room..see the new chairs..OH I am in love with these chairs..we are putting the other 2 together tonight or tomorrow..I am going to make covers for the top part of the chair in a penny rug style..haven't decided on the designs..but that fall runner that Jenn made me will go with these puurrrffecctttly..;)I made the butter paddle board that sits on the old rake..got a fall candle up along with the tea kettle..
one of the signs I purchased last year..I believe these came from Goldieloowood works..I have more wonderful signs from her..but they will go out at the end of the month when I pull out all the stops for decorating.;)my pumpkin longaberger basket..that will hold the goodie bags that I make for the little trick or treaters.;)this is a fall embroidery that I made of a very prim pumpkin scarecrow with his crows hanging out in a field of pumpkins..I painted and distressed the frame too.;) I gotta fill up the basket with raffia type stuffing so the little dolls aren't lost in there..;)a pesky crow to welcome you to my front porchokay that is it for the day..I have to write something on the chalkboard on the front porch..do you see Margy Fargy sitting there on the porch..they were waiting for the rain to stop....and it still hasn't stopped..we have puddles now..;) I hope you have a wonderful evening..will be back with pics of the new table and hopefully my new do..:) it is short and sassy..just the way I like it..and I love the color she did too..she gave me a great deal...gotta love that.;)

  9. Hi Gina: Wow, you received some incredible goddies from Jenn. She definitely ROCKS!! I looove your penny rug and the Kim Kohler witch!! I know you asked about the "wild" red sweet annie and it looks to have dried more green than red. I will try to seal some next year to see if it keeps the red bud color...
