Signs of Autumn or winter......

 Yesterday was the first nice day we had in a while......
 The pups and I went on a lovely Autumn walk ....
 with friends it was great to get out in the fresh air.
 When we got home my neighbor and her friend came over to ....
 to pick Rose hips and low bush cranberries......
 Jerry was sleeping so George and I had quality time.......
 It was so nice, we decided to take pictures before the rain comes around again......
 George was such a happy little trail blazer.....
 Last night though it was cool out and you could almost ......
well we don't even want to think
 about that ugly white stuff yet.......

I love the smell of the woods in Fall.

Whats your favorite part of Autumn?

Moose Pass Mercantile.....and a little of this and that.

 Last Monday I drove back to this sweet little store that I had
driven by on my way home from our women's retreat....
I loved this trunk and sweet turquoise dish.
 How about a cocktail from around the world.....
  this vintage decanter and set of purple glasses......
 and lovely mercury glass bowl.....
  complete tea service set......I stopped and picked up a tin
of this tea to enjoy it with....it smells wonderful!

 This gives a whole new meaning to noodle art....
  vintage shantung silk dress......
 Look at my little blonde monkeys.....they were so sweet!
they were with me 2 days last week.
 Ta da she was showing me how she re did her kitchen....
Heres the cookies we baked ......I think their tummies were
more full of the raw dow.......
I couldn't keep up with their fingers in the pot!

Have a wonderful week....

Rain rain go away.....


 Check out this amazing German stool I found.....
I bought it for a friends birthday,
a fellow vintage lover!
Cory celebrated his 13th birthday on Sunday.....
Monday I went for a drive
 and it was the only nice day we have had in a week.....
and its suppose to rain all this next week too.
We have flood warnings through Sunday
for some of our rivers.....

I have so much to share, I found an amazing little shop
when I went to our women retreat last weekend but its been so hard
to find time to blog and visit all of you.....from helping Phil to babysitting
for a friends little girls.....

I also about a month started an Adapt fitness program
like boot camp only not.....I hated it at first but now I'm enjoying it,
well maybe not enjoying it.....

Happy Friday.....

knick Knack's patty Whack's give a dog a Bone....

 My post started off with a theme of some sort......
why can't I say no to knick knack's
I found this sweet creamer the other day and well
we see where it ended up, home with me...
 On our trip I went with my sister-n-law to one thrift shop
and I found this green Cafe au lait bowl for a $1
it's so pretty....
 Check out these amazing vintage towels I found for the 
clementine bathroom....
 Fall weather is here and I had the opportunity to go to 
Homer with a friend and pick peaches and raspberries
so I said I would pick for her sister so she could make jelly and jam
look at how pretty it looks......its so delicious!
Last but not least
Heres my little men look at how big Jerry has gotten
George looks so tiny again......
We start puppy school next week,
I'll let you know how it goes!

This last week Phil and I shared our 18th wedding anniversary
seems like yesterday......

Have a wonderful weekend!

A Bull, Wisdom, and a side of beans, Happy Weekend!

 A girlfriend found these over in Seldovia......
There little faces are so sweet.
They are going to be super cheery to look at going into winter!
 I found this fabulous vintage vase yesterday at a yard sale...
perfect for Halloween coming up!
 At the same sale I spotted this foot stool made out of old bean cans
the man gave it to me, I think he was shocked that I wanted it!
I think its fabulous....
 as if this post had a theme......I loved this oil I found also
they had cut the canvas and framed it, but look at the initials....
I wish they were a little smaller.
 and for my bull, this beauty was in the backyard
I hope he hides out long enough through hunting season.....

Enjoy the rest of your weekend
and 
if you have time pop over to my friend Linda's
to check out her lovely giveaway!

Take care, Heidi

Long Beach, Oysterville and Snoqualmie Falls, the end!

 We stayed in Long Beach at this adorable beach cottage.....
its been in my sister-n-laws family for 3 generations.
 All the furnishings were original....
 I was in vintage heaven.
I apologize my pictures are not the best it was overcast the
whole time in the pleasant 70's.


 one evening we went to Oysterville for
steamer clams......
 The last day we went to the beach .....
 It was so pretty.....
 Here are a few of my favorite homes from 
Long Beach....




 And last but not least 
Snoqualmie Falls......so Beautiful!
I have always wanted to stay at the lodge,
Someday.
Boy Fall is in the air here in Alaska
our leaves are just starting to change
with a lot of wind and rain.....
Anchorage last night in some parts had gusts up to 100 mph.

Are you still in Summer weather or is Fall starting to show up in you
neck of the woods?
