Why Ladybug???

Most have been asking why I chose a Ladybug as the theme of my blog..??  When I was a little girl, my grandmother called me "Ladybug" and it just stuck.  Whenever I see a ladybug or anything that is red and has black dots - I am just drawn to it! It just brings back memories and puts a smile on my face!

Church Pew

Old Church Pew

I have been searching for a very long time for a Church Pew to either go inside or outside as extra seating - and I finally found one!  During one of my "Yard Sale Saturdays" - I happened upon this beauty just sitting there with no sign...... I immediately thought that it had already been sold.......but "Hey, you never know".... so I asked ........ To my suprise - it was still available so I thought well he must want a fortune for it ..... So once again ..... I asked "how much?" ......He says "make and offer" well I went for it ! =)  I asked would he take $20 and he said "SURE!" I almost fell out!!  LOL  I immediately back my truck up to his driveway and loaded it - and it barely fit in the back of my SUV and drove off happy as can be !!!! 

I of course have no patience, so there was no waiting until someone got home to help me get it out of the truck and in the house! LOL  When there is a desire to get it in the house - there is a way !!!  I considered putting it outside, but I just had this feeling it would fit at the foot of my bed ......so ....



Fits nicely!

It already had a distressed appeal about it so I left it as is - the color was perfect - so as I say "it was just ment to be!"

Fall Entryway Decorating

My Little Front "Porch" 

Even though I don't really have a front porch, I have decorated my little entryway with some fall favorites!  My bench - which I have had for quite some time- changes constantly  a lot..... with whatever pillows I have or the season......  I have LOTS of PILLOWS and they are easy to decorate with.  They give any area a soft, "homey" feel!!!  =)  

In additon to my bench, I have put together two topiaries.  I have been making these for several years .... each year changes a little! This year I really wanted something to go with my new wreath .... that too changes from year to year !  Purple is one of my favorite colors and the pillows have purple in them! Along with a ton of other colors that I really like together!!!  I am also a "pokadot nut"!!!  The more the merrier!!! 

My Little Topiary!!!

A little closer view !

This years wreath! 

I have a Michael's very very close by - too close if you ask DH, however I utilize my 40% off coupons every chance I get!!! Every little bit you can save helps when you are being "creative" =) 

Fall is my favorite time of the year!  It is so colorful and fun time to be creative!!! However, in Florida - we really don't have "Fall" - No leaves really change and it is still 78 to 82 everyday but I make it feel that way as much as possible!  Try a few ideas of your own to make your front entryway colorful and inviting!
