The Turkeys are out

Well I got all my halloween cleaned up and drug my Thanksgiving stuff down from the loft.I don't go all out for thanksgiving since it's so short and I'm anxious to get my christmas stuff out.But do love Thanksgiving and turkeys and the rements of fall.Yesterday I ran all day post office twice as I found a package under the seat that hubby missed on mondays shipment.Got my hair cut it was almost to my waist and I got it cut to a little below my shoulders.Love it! It has so much volume and I was tired of it always hanging.Then went and got me and hubby a couple new clothes.Then shopped at Walmart for food,then stopped at our local store for meats and odds and ends.Good part is I got eveything done so I can take the day for myself today.It's going to be cold,raw and rainy so a good day to stay inside and enjoy things.I'm going to relax and read my prim magazines that have been piling up,finish up my swap goodies and get them ready to mail tomorrow and work on getting a giveaway together.Ok so onto the turkey tour.LoL... My little chalkboard I change out for the seasons.Nut ring with pumpkin and prim turkey.

Gobble Gobble

Ever feel like this? This is the time of year my mind gets confused.I'm not quite over the summer and the hunt for prim treasures.I'm getting in the nesting mood but one day is 70 degrees and the next 50 degrees and windy.I should be thinking spooky and candy and cute little goblins knocking at the door but I'm thinking christmas and snowmen.. Oh and add a little Turkeys and new recipes to add to the traditional Thanksgiving dinner.The image below reminds me of what is swirling around in my head.(smile)I'll get it right soon I hope.It's just as a crafter and seller and homemaker and decorater we always have to think two seasons ahead.And no matter how hard I try each year to enjoy each season and holiday I either get way ahead of myself or way behind.Maybe this year will be better.(doubtful) But I'm really gonna try to enjoy and savor every minute..Still can't wait for this.....

Thanksgiving is my one day of rest,peace and family gathering! Hubby makes the turkey and most sides,I make the desserts and bread the eve before so I can just savor this day.We have dinner at our house so no running.I think it is one of the best days of the year....I've been getting swap handdids done,christmas gifts ready and a few handdids to sell done.I can't show much yet as they are surprises,but here are what I've been making the past few days.Turkeys!!!!

Spiced rubbed primitive beeswax turkeys in spicy gingerbread scent.Yum they smell so warm
and cozy for fall.They are perfect to tuck in cupboards or bowls..These are brown but I'll be doing black as well.They are done with a vintage mold so they have a great early look.They self stand so they are just perfect.This is the first year I did these.I've done candles and wax pourings for about 15 years though and the creativity never ends for me.If you are interested in one for yourself check out my etsy shop (click button on side bar)....

The indian corn is available too..I'm making several of these for me to tuck in bowls and on shelfs.It's hard to find prim turkeys.

I finally found a menu chalkboard at a yardsale a few weeks ago.I wanted one for awhile and can't wait to write the Thanksgiving menu on it......

So monday I'll go up to the loft and pull out all my Thanksgiving decorating stuff and start dreaming of being like this......

Hope you all have a wonderful fall day.Harvest Blessings!~Amy

Fall Decor

Normally I go all out for Halloween and Fall but this year I decided to keep things simple.Here are a few of my Gatherings.Fall is by far my favorite time of year! Cozy sweaters, autumn leaves,nesting, cool crisp weather,spicy candles burning,baking and comfort foods.Hope you enjoy! I made the kitties and my sister in law made the candy corn fillers.

On top of the TV the jack is wonderful to watch flicker in the evening......

The antique chalkboard bellow will be a wonderful item to display year round and changed for the season.The glitter jack with cat plays music.
