A Little Fall

Only a few of my Halloween and Fall items have made their way from basement storage out to display.  One the end of the dry sink I set up this little trio of items, soon to be knocked over and off - thanks to a little grey beast. 

One of my favorite baskets that I've made for myself is hanging above our back sliding doors.  Normally there is nothing in this basket and this year I thought it might look neat to add a touch of fall on one end.  I think the simple pumpkin and bittersweet add a nice primitive touch to this long basket. 

Full length of the basket....

I just love this little owl that I got in trade (I know another great barter!) he looks perfect in my grain sifter.

I hate to admit, but I'm sure this next item was made in China.  Picked up this ghost at my favorite store in Findlay, Ohio - Early American Home.  My husband made me the candle box which normally houses a battery operated candle in a tall stick, changed out for Halloween, the ghost fits great.

I added a couple of items to the living room shelf, a cross stitch piece I made last year and a pumpkin from my blogging friend Tammy of A Primitive Place

That's about all I've got out -why you might ask?  It seems I'm never home to do more than laundry and meal prep.  Let me show you where we've been...

High School Cross Country races...

Junior High Cross Country races....

and fall baseball leagues....

We LOVE baseball at our house.  Both boys are playing fall ball.  Matthew is playing on 2 different teams in addition to his cross country schedule.  Daniel is on one team - that's ok - he's only in 5th grade!  I'm spending Saturdays and Sundays sitting at double headers somewhere.  Last Saturday the weather was so nice here in NW Ohio I even got a little sunburn and had to move my chair to the shade. 

I hope you are all having a good week.  ~Ann
