Thanks Tammy and Renee for doing this. I couldn't think of a movie quote and I love movies.
I have yet to find time to go see "The Help", but I will.
I have been de-cluttering again. This time closets and drawers. I will make a goodwill run today. I feel better after it is all done.
The leaves are really starting to turn here. I saw this out my window.

They will soon be brilliant as it is supposed to get cold this week. I am having special company the last weekend in October, so I hope the leaves stay on the trees until then. You will recognize them when I tell you who is coming.

I love this picture. Don't ask me why, because I can't tell you. I just do.
Okay we all have a comfortable chair in our house, that we don't always "share." I have a black wing leather recliner. If I have overnight guests only one of us can sit with our feet up, unless one wants to sit over in the reading nook. Alone!lol No more. I now have this wonderful ottoman.

 I love having it and have wanted one for a long time. Yes, it came from The Speckled Hen. Speaking of the Speckled Hen, she is getting ready for the Christmas open house, Nov 4&5. I want to show you this beautiful table, with hand forged nails, that is for sale.

If you are close enough to Clinton don't miss the open house. I'll show you more later. Another exciting bit of news from the Hen, is she is going to carry, Rick Hamelin,the pied potter's, red ware. It is due in this week! Look him up online.He is awesome and has been featured in EAL.
I am getting ready for some big re-arranging. I'll show you pictures soon.

Bittersweet from Catskills in New York.

New fall silks. I thought they were so realistic.

I thought I would share some of the fall on the cupboards. I am so happy you came Through My Back Door where life is good.
betty
PS: If there is someone you care about that you haven't talked to in a while, give them a call on this beautiful day, and tell them what they mean to you.  I am.
