Crowe-Onial Decor and Other Stuff

Good morning and welcome Through My Back Door on this gorgeous morning. It is good to have you and we have fresh ground coffee (Kona) and some Halloween Cookies. It is a bit chilly to sit outside as I have been sick. Beginning to feel almost human again this morning. I checked on my blogger dashboard and saw where a lot of people were checking in and decided I better do a quick up date. This is my back door now.
Quite a change from the old. We still have painting to do and that will be done one day. As you know we go back to the beach in the fall. This year we went later because all of Debs kids went along. I had a lot of greats to entertain me.lol I have not felt well since we came home, as I came back with bronchitis. Today I actually feel a little better, so decided to catch up.
Of course we always enjoy going to Seagrove and eating at our favorite places. This year was different as all of Debs kids joined us. Having 3 little girls and one handsome guy just made it more fun
Clay, Andrew Ryan, and Michael. We were at Whiskey Bravo and they put us in a room by ourselves. It was perfect
Four generations of women. Beth is holding Caroline, me with Mollie, Amanda, and Deb with Amelia. We had so many good laughs and just enjoyed one another
Love this place. I always think Dear God, your sea is so vast and my boat is so small. I am always so happy and contented here. A place where you don't have to do anything but be.
I did an antique show with Deb and Dodd this past weekend. What fun just being with my kids and chatting up a storm. I bought a trunk from Dodd, but I don't have a picture of it yet. It was one of the ones used on a stage coach, as it is a small dome top. I have no idea where I will use. I did sell my bucket bench, but this trunk can't go where it was. I t wouldn't work. I will have a picture next post. I had such a good time visiting with the customers too. However it brought back a lot of memories.
I will share a bit of my fall with you. Didn't do a lot, but am enjoying what I did.
I only have one whisk broom and it is one Curtis used doing his furniture. I Have replaced the room deodorizer with a pumpkin.lol These spoons were my great, great grandmothers as you know.
I had to keep this mirror out somewhere so I took the painting Deb had done many years ago and replaced it with the mirror. This is a walnut one and is pegged together.
I am so glad you came Through My Back Door where life is good.

PS: I have a beautiful new great granddaughter. Her name is Harper Kristine, after her paternal grandmother. She is Douglas and Anastasia's. Gabe is now a big brother
PSS: I have 2 more trips before Christmas and then I will be home for the winter. I saw we are to have more than usual snow. I may try to do like a bear and hibernate
PSSS:Let's pray hard for our country. There is just so much sadness and turmoil

  1. It is always great to come through your back door and catch up! What a great family trip. I loved what you said about God's sea is so vast and we are but a small ship...might I add but He watches over us as if we were filled with the most special treasure! Have a great week and I am so thankful you are feeling better!
    Be blessed,
