Happy, Beautiful Fall, to you all!! ♥  It is beautiful here, by Lake Huron.  The colors are really starting and our temps are in the cool Fall range now.

Isn't this a spectacular display of beauty by Mother Nature!  We were doing a bit a yard work and I ran and got the camera....My Mom passed quite a while ago....she was a professional artist specializing in watercolors, oils and pottery...when I see a sky like this, I always say "Thank You, Mom!" and blow her a kiss.  I think of her as Mother Nature's artist in residence!  How I miss her...no matter how old I get to be, a day will not go by that I do not think of her! ♥

This Christmas Cactus sits in my kitchen window...I have had it for three years and each year I mean to repot it, but it seems happy, so happy, in fact, that it blooms a couple of months early!  lol!

Click on the pictures to see them better with more detail...these buds are so pretty....a gorgeous bright pink!

Ornaments I have been painting .....

And more to do....these will be part of a nice order I  received....busy, busy, busy time of the year! The finished ornaments can be found at THE RUFFLED ROSE along with other holiday items ~ New items each week!

I am joining Beverly for   Pink Saturday
And,
Cindy for  Show And Tell Friday;

Be happy, happy, happy!

Hello Dear Friends ~  It has been a week of painting.  I just listed four PINK ornaments at THE RUFFLED ROSE  ~ They are full of vintage laces, millinery and pretty silk ribbons.  I hope you will come and take a look.  They will be such a pretty addition to the shabby Christmas and then to decorate with all year long ~

As I write a little thunderstorm just moved in with lots of rain and low dark clouds....Such delicious weather!  I am enjoying every moment of it as Sunday the weather changes back to cool Fall air ~

Here is my new project~

It will be the soft luscious green of the chair I just finished ~

And, if you are looking for some sweet white pumpkins,

here are three pretty ones made from vintage

Chenille ~

This is all for the moment ~

Have a great weekend and visit Beverly's

For PINK Saturday which is always fun....I have dinner at the computer so I can browse~
