Another cssteam treasury :)

It's early and I'm waiting, somewhat patiently, until I can work on my studio without waking the neighbors. I think their bedroom is just on the other side of the wall where I'm putting up shelving... gotta love condo living! :)

In the meantime, here's a shot of the treasury that I have up on Etsy right now ~ beautiful stuff!

Ahh, autumn... I just love it :)

I took a couple of pictures of my fall-y front porch...

I put this little wreath together with a $2.99 grapevine form and a couple of $1.99 leaf sprays from Joann's. I had already purchased 3 pretty mums, so I tried to choose leaves to complement them. The wreath looks a little crookedy in the photo and I thought about taking another, but the few rays of sun that had peeked through momentarily were quickly replaced by a dark and stormy sky. And, brrrr, the temperature dropped! The trees are going to be in their full, autumn glory soon!

I purchased these mums at Carpinito Bros. in a nearby town. They have the best seasonal produce and flowers in an open air setting. They grow their own corn nearby and back a truck-full right up front. They also have an a-maze-ing (a-maize-ing?) corn maze and u-pick pumpkins. It's a popular place and usually pretty busy, but the atmosphere is fun and fresh and brimming with color!

Another Etsy treasury! I can't help myself... they're a little addictive :) These are all cssteam goodies too!

Treasuries...

I posted a couple of new treasuries on Friday and finally figured out how to get a screen shot to post ~ yay! :) All of these gorgeous goodies are by members of our fabulous Cottage Style Street Team!

CSST Tulipmania!

WOW, did we have some beautiful entries for CSST Tulip Challenge! What a creative team ~ and what FUN! Here's what I posted... a mirror decoupaged with a vintage hanky. I tried to come up with something original and this is something that I've never seen before ~ yay! :) After I had it all finished and listed and posted on my blog... it dawned on me that these may not be tulips at all ~lol! They are familiar but the name escapes me...
