Baby shoes and warty pumpkins

I love it when I have an hour or two to spare...I ventured to my favorite spots and found some really pretty trinkets. I am also starting a really fun adventure with my friend Amy tomorrow...I will tell you more about it this weekend.

I found my favorite warty pumpkin again this year....it looks super creepy but you can sure make some really good pumpkin bread. I will share seeds with anyone, just let me know.

Happy Wednesday,

Sylvia

Dancing skeletons

Bippity Boppity Boo...

Ay Ay Ayyyy I am so glad this week is over! Seems there was so much to do with so little time.

I did manage to find some really cool vintage wooden mirrors...

and I almost did a back flip when I spotted this cool vintage book...I have been on the lookout for

a book to turn into a Spell & Potions book for Halloween next year and I think this might be perfect for it! I think this will be a year long project and if you have any ideas please let me know...

Kitty is tired of hanging up there...soon she will go back into hiding

Soon the green eyed Red Owl can close it's eyes...

But in the meantime.... maybe Verdita the green witch will help me with all those bippity boppity boos to put in the book.

Have a great weekend,

Sylvia

P.S. I'm a little late in linking up to Debra's Common Ground...Vintage Inspiration Friday....but do please tag a long to check out all the other cool inspirational blogs.

Dumpster Diva

A day of celebration was spent antique shopping then having lunch at Thai Thai's. My friends surprised me with some pretty awesome gifts. The silver "Dumpster Diva" platter was made by my very crafty friend, Amy. I love it!!!  She knows me so well!! The Bowdabra is from Sherri. I plan to take this out tomorrow and start making some pretty bows..I can only hope my bows turn out as pretty as hers.  I had to laugh when I received my cute "Stop me before I volunteer again" napkins from Jen(she also gave me some silver earrings that I forgot to include in the pic....forgive me Jen). Hugs and kisses to my friends..I love them dearly.

I found some pretty cool finds at the antique store today but I think I will save that for tomorrow.

Have a great evening,

Sylvia

Halloween cards

My Halloween exchange card partner was Carrie from Junque Magnets. She made these really cool cards and even included a key to fit the lock...super cute! The Yikes sign also fits perfectly with my creepy decor.

I really enjoyed creating this Medusa card for Carrie...

liked it so much that I made one for my friend Dina and one for myself...hahaha

I have more Halloween decorations to put up...

Happy October...

Sweets, Sunsets and Silver

 My hubby and I celebrated our birthdays this week, I love that we are only a couple of days apart. Both Libras...lots of balancing around here...lol

 The sunsets after Tropical Storm Nicole,

we received much needed rain.

I found these really cool black and white etchings today. I especially liked that they are scenes from San Francisco. This one is called Stairway on Telegraph Hill and signed by William Wilke. (William Hancock Wilke).

And this one is called Hyde Street Hill...signed by Sutton Woods.

They sure bring back memories of our life back in California.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder..that's why these sterling S&P shakers came home with me.

I am linking up to Lemoncholoy's Flight of Fancy for Flea Market Friday. Come check it out...the girls sure find lots of eye drooling goodies.

Oh Oh Oh...go check out this awesome blog and giveaway from Vania & a group of artists...Artistic Halloween Queen...

What fun....

Happy October....
