LETS HEAR IT FOR THE GOURDS !


I DID A GUEST POST FOR AMANDA EARLIER TODAY OVER AT THE IVY COTTAGE BLOG SHE
IS DOING A SPECIAL SEGMENT ON
THE MAGIC OF AUTUMN ! SO BE SURE
TO STOP ON OVER AND CHECK IT OUT

 I ALSO WANTED TO DO
THE POST ON MY BLOG AND INCLUDE A FEW MORE
PICTURES
I LOVE AUTUMN
I LOVE THE GREAT WEATHER,
PUMPKINS & GOURDS,HALLOWEEN, AND
I LOVE THE BEAUTIFUL COLORS
I WANTED TO INCLUDE A COLOR INSPIRATION
IN MY FALL DECOR ON A WICKER CHAIR THAT I
PICKED UP AT THE THRIFT STORE 
FOR $5.00

AND IN HONOR OF AUTUMN I WANT
TO CALL HER MISS GOURD. YES,
I NAME MY FURNITURE PIECES. THE PAINT
I PICKED REMINDED ME OF THE
PRETTY LIGHT GREEN GOURD COLOR.

ADD A LITTLE OF MY INSPRIRATIONAL
COLOR AND A BEAUTIFUL PUMPKIN

HOPE YOU LIKE MY FIRST PROJECT

    The wicker chair is lovely, indeed! But, Good Golly Girl, I never knew there were so many linky parties! I think you've linked to every one there is out there in blog land! It would take me years to look at them all, so I will enjoy yours and call it good!
    Blessings!
    p.s. I am a little 'green' with envy, myself, that you could find such a treasure at a thrift store for only $5!
