Decor for the Fall....

Is Halloween yet?

Our cat Tiger had made his spot in a corner, and there you can see a few cards I got for send in the mail for Halloween, also some nice spiders I'm sure I will use in the decorations.

Do you celebrate Halloween or at least participate with the children around your Neighbourhood?? Sure is fun.

A Picture Box.

I got this Pictures Box on a sale two weeks ago. I'm looking for ways to transform it and give it that special touch. It is a nice wood box, but not sure if I want to leave it as it is. Just thinking!!!!!

Chrysanthemums

Showing some of the Chrysanthemums or Mums i got for this season. The Chrysanthemums require good irrigation and can be maintained during the winter by watering them occasionally. I love these flowers, even though mine are still opening. They are plants which give much joy and are very common in this time of year.

Mostrandoles algunas de las plantas que he adquirido para esta temporada. Los Chrysanthemums requieren buen riego y pueden mantenerse durante el invierno si se les riega de vez en cuando. Me encantan estas flores, aunque las mias aun estan abriendose. Son plantas que dan mucha alegria y son muy comunes en esta epoca del ano.

Autumn is here.

I love the Autumn, when the days are clear and sunny and the nights cool and crisp, provide an almost irresistible lure to those who enjoy the outdoors. This type of weather is also the most favorable for a spectacular show of autumn colors, making this season of the year still more delightful.

My first home decorations for the season, although I have not had enough time to do more. Wanted to show a little of them. Most of these gourds are dried in the sun and still show their natural colors. The largest pumpkin is natural but I also added a bit of decoupage to give a more striking color, some ornaments as well like angels and sun. I like the effect.

Mis primeras decoraciones en casa para la temporada,aunque no he tenido el tiempo suficiente para hacer mas.

Queria mostrarles un poquito de ellas. La mayoria de estas calabazas (Gourds) estan secadas al sol y muestran sus colores naturales. La calabaza mas grande es natural tambien pero le agregue un poco de decoupage para darle un color mas llamativo ademas de colocarles algunos adornos como angeles y soles. Me gusto el efecto.

Salt and Pepper shakers.

Un placer saludarles nuevamente, he estado algo ocupada este mes, entre trabajo, familia y algunos eventos obligados. El fin de semana pasado estuve en Philadelpia y NY fue muy divertido. Pero no les he olvidado al Blog y a ustedes los fans que siguen amablemente el mismo.

Hoy quise mostrarles este pequeno cambio de el salero y pimentero. Los saleros y pimenteros son muy practicos a la hora de servir la comida. En casa tenia estos y hasta ahora se me ocurrio darle un facelift, usando la tecnica decoupage. Bien simple pero definitivamente el cambio valio la pena.

A pleasure to greet you again, I've been a little busy this month, between work, family and some required events, the past weekend I was in Philadelphia and New York it was fun. But I have not forgotten you blog and followers of the same ones. Well today I wanted to show this small change of the salt and pepper shakers. The salt and pepper shakers are very handy when serving food. At home I had these ones and so far I gave it a face lift, using the decoupage technique. Very simple, but it definitely was worth the change.

In the Garden Today

I thought I can share some beauty with you today!!

Cosmos are herbaceous perennial flowering plants. Spent flowers should be deadheaded regularly, as it keeps cosmos in bloom for many weeks. They just show off this days, not sure but I think we planted they late.

Dried Wreaths made from the branches of the Wisteria. Ready to be decorate it.

Marigolds make nice border plants and mix well in containers. They blend well with yellow and orange daylilies, extending the color between daylilies blooms. This one seems to grow well there, is always full of flowers. Last year our marigold plants just grow so much, this year we change to the standard size, the rest of them just came back from seeds that were in the ground.

Cleome is a nice plant that we usually called spider plant. It is one of the few annuals plants I put in the garden this year, I like the fact that they attract it Hummingbirds.

Cleome tolerates heat and dry weather well, and continue to look good well into the summer. This plants are still looking great because of the rainy days we had, but in a few days more the Summer will be finally over.
