My blog is hosted through word press, and I HATE IT!  I have been trying for the last TWO days to post photos from the last estate sale I went to. UGGG.  It will not let me add any photos, sooooo annoying.

I have pretty much hated word press since I moved my blog from blogger earlier this year. It is soo not user friendly unless you are super knowledgeable in web design and HTML.

I am in the process of working with my web guy to move my blog BACK to blogger.  My shoppe will stay here at roseylittlethings.com  This will be happening in the very near future.

I am happy to be going back to blogger, but worried about starting all over again.  I will keep you posted on when exactly this is happening, so you can change your bookmarks AGAIN. SORRY!  Hopefully I will be able to upload my photos soon!                       XOXO JEN

Artsy Mama is hosting an Autumn Gathering party today! You can click on the button below and on the right side of her site is a list of all the participants. I can’t wait to see everyones amazing decorations.

For the Autumn Gathering Party I am going to show some of my decorations and some fun photos of Graham at the pumpkin patch at his preschool.

I actually exist in a photo, it is a miracle. Graham goes to preschool at the Jamestown Methodist, they have a pumpkin patch and hayride on the premises. On Monday it was his classes turn to visit the patch. Here we are on the hayride. The kids loved it.

He looks all sweet and innocent, HA. Two seconds after I took this picture he decided the pumpkins needed to be kicked like soccer balls!

Having fun walking through all the pumpkins.

One of the many pumpkins he sat on.

More pumpkin photos!

Look at my pumpkin!!

I may have posted this before, but I made it and I LOVE IT!!!

This is my vintage printers drawer, I decorate it for every holiday.

Trick or treat sign! Look at the black spider web, I made it and have them in a few windows.  They were really easy to make.

Here is a close up.  All you have to do is take some black puff paint and put it on a no stick cookie sheet in a spider web shape. Let it dry for 24hrs, peel off carefully and stick where ever! I saw this in a magazine, can’t remember which one though!

Here is one view of my foyer!  Not that anyone ever comes to the front door. Everyone comes through the kitchen, NICE!

Both of these were from Martha Stewart Living last year.  This year you can buy the bats all ready made.  I love the thing above the door, it took me forever to cut out! This is the door way into the living room off of the foyer.

These mice were also from Living magazine last year.  This is the stairway off the foyer.  I think you can buy these now too.

These are also in the foyer. They are on top of my hall tree.  These were from Country Living last year or the year before??  Super easy to make, not as easy to store.

One last corner of the Foyer.  I got this shelve a few years ago at a yard sale for 5$.  Usually it is full of girly pink things.  I made the black flowers a few years ago out of tissue paper.

I love this wreath, I got it a few years ago at good old Target. This is on my front door!

Built ins in my family room.

Close up!  These will stay out until thanksgiving.  After Halloween I will take down all the Halloween decor and put up more fall goodies!

My Grandma framed this picture of Gabby and I. I have been putting it out for the last 10 years, I love it, she was so cute!!!

This is in the family room also.  I made the cross stitch at the top.  Gwen drew the witch when she was really little. I think it is the cutest witch ever!  She critiques it because it is not perfect, now that she is older!

Gwen also drew the owl in the foyer next to the shelf!

PHEW, this is the last one.  This is my dining room table.  I will be adding more after Halloween. There are  quite a few more decorations in my house, but this post is long enough.  Plus I was suppose to have it up this am, it is almost 1pmEST! YIKES!

Happy Fall!

XOXO Jen

Today we went to the Harvest Festival at Gwen’s School. We had a lot of fun. Afterwards Gabby said “Graham had the most fun, I had fun with him”. I explained that is what being a parent is like.

As you can tell, Gabby was less than thrilled to pose for this picture!

BOO!

My water mark is miss spelled on this one-NICE!

Gab was not too cool to put balloons on her head:)

Bounce house fun!

I asked Graham if he had fun and he said “YEAHHHH” loudly. Then started crying when I put him in the stroller.

Playing on the playground.

The first time I put Graham on this and stepped back to get a photo he decided to say “three” and jump off. His version of 1.2.3! That is why the girls are cracking up because he was “threeing” again.

Big kid slide all by himself. This slide was very tall, I though he might be scared- NOPE!

Big fun!

THE END

Tomorrow I will be posting my answers for the VPC Swap.

Just a quick post before bed. I just added three new items to the Shoppe. I have about twenty more I will hopefully get added tomorrow.

I went to an Estate Sale on Saturday, I only picked up a couple of things, this was one of them. Isn’t it darling. You can find this is the Shoppe, under the For the Home Category.

I got this quilt and the next quilt for 6$. Originally the lady said five for this one and I said I had to think about it because it is in bad shape. So I looked around some more and I found another quilt. I asked her how much and she said ” do you want them both?” YES! How about 6$ for both. SOLD It is in terrible shape, there are quite a few holes and stains, it really needs to be soaked, I will have to do it in the tub because of all the tears.

This one is in really good shape. There are a couple small stains, so I think it will get a soak also. There are no holes which is good. It is super heavy, which will make drying it interesting. I think it is made of a bunch of vintage feed sacs. I love that it was only 3$:)

Here are the two wreaths I have been working on, they still need a bow and hanger, so they will be in the Shoppe SOON.

I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!! I got it at the estate sale too, it was 1$. It is made in Italy. I have a lidded one that my friend Heidi in Napa gave me for my bday!

This box of cards was 25cents. Love the roses.

I did get one other item, but you will have to wait until I enter it in the Shoppe. I will give you a clue”McCoy”.

This lovely vintage three strand necklace is now in the Shoppe in the Jewelry and Baubles category. Why am I not keeping it you ask? I all ready have a few that are very similar.

You can find this darling vintage clutch in the wardrobe section. I also have a couple vintage silver purses:) I do love the rose clasp on this one. This is perfect for the up coming holiday season:)

I hope to get the rest posted tomorrow. A few sewn items, a few vintage items and another Ephemera packet.

Graham is teething again, and he is a big ol’ sissy so I must go deal with him!

Yesterday I made the girls each a pair of PJ bottoms.  I am going to make the little dude some PJ’s as soon as I find a pattern I like:)

Here is miss Gabby in her new PJ bottoms.  I made them from a pretty vintage sheet. I love how they turned out and am thinking about making my self a pair.

A close up view.  I asked Gab if she knew what the fabric was from and she said “no”.  I told her they are vintage sheets.  EEEW- they probably have wrinkly old people cooties on them.  I told her as I was giggling- I washed them silly goose.

Here is miss Gwenzie Lou in her new PJ bottoms.  They are super soft flannel.  I love the ruffles at the bottom.  They were super easy too.

Close up view.

This is now in the Shoppe.  I have two more that are a bit smaller, that I will be adding to the Shoppe this weekend.

While my in laws were here last week, we went to old Salem . I took this photo in the children’s museum.  Gwen and Grandma Bonnie.

Mr. Graham practicing riding a horse at the children’s museum. Not a great photo of him because he really wanted to get down and try other things.

Don’t the girls look happy?  I made them try on the clothes that were replicas from the 1800’s in old Salem.  I made them do it because they didn’t have the grown up version for me to try on.  Yes, I still love dress up:)

We kept the girls out of school last Friday and went to the zoo with the in laws.  We had such a great day!  This was one of the few pictures I took while we are there because I forgot to check my camera battery before we left. Are they not so cute holding hands, it lasted long enough to get this picture.

Here they are playing in the children’s area at the zoo, I had to drag Graham away. There was also a really cute play ground that Graham loved, no photos though:(

ALL Boy!!

Now I am going to grab some knitting and a blankie and watch Thursday night TV.

Have a great night!

XOXO Jen

My in laws arrived Saturday night, so we have been busy with them. Sunday we went to Old Salem, which was really fun. We may take Graham to the zoo if the weather cooperates:) Just thought I would pop in and post a couple of projects I have finished recently.

A lot of my projects lately have revolved around Halloween. I have been wanting to make one of these for a while. It is hanging in my kitchen as we speak. I used paper, crepe paper, glitter, vintage sheet music, vintage lace, vintage ric-rack and some cute black and white letters. It was a fun project, I love how it turned out.

Another Halloween goody, this was in one of the magazine, can’t remember which one. I thought it was cute, so I whipped it up. It is sitting on a chair in my family room.

Lastly, I made this snake scarf for my nephew Eli’s second birthday.  I found the pattern online and now can not find the web site again, because it is bookmarked on my laptop.  It is supposed to be back to me by the 6th, thank goodness.

Only a few days left to sing up for the vintage pink Christmas swap.  There are quite a few ladies who have joined all ready.  I am looking forward to assigning partners so we can get on with the swapping.

Off to bed!

Yesterday was my first Pink Saturday and today is my first Show and Tell Sunday. Show and tell Sunday has a different theme each time. It is hosted by Cerri at Little Pink Studio, it will be every other week. This weeks theme is figurines, which I have a few of. Chad does not love them, actually he really dislikes them a lot. So they reside in the living room because I love them and we don’t spend much time in that room. Chad is a very good hubby who puts up with all of my girlie decorating, he actually likes a lot of it. He even painted my kitchen pink, so without getting rid of the things he hates, I try to put them where he doesn’t have to look at them.

This is my favorite one. It is a vintage Joseph Original. I love the colors and I love her dress and the pretty roses. I love the image of the mother holding her baby so lovingly. I got her at a flea market in CA.

I got this pretty lady at an estate sale not to long ago. I love her vintage dress, it is so prettty

Apparently I like vintage ladies:) I got this one at an estate sale for 2$. She is chalkware and about 10″ tall.

These two ladies reside in my part of the bathroom, so Chad actually really hates these. Not sure if it is because he has to look at them everyday or if he just hates these particular ladies.

I have a few more, but am going to save them for another time.

Back to cutting out black mice for Halloween decorations.

I have read a few books lately so I will give you my review of them. The first book I finished was Miss Julia Strikes Back by Ann B. Ross. This is the 6th or 7th book in the Miss Julia series, I have read them all so far. They are easy reads, the nice thing about them is they are very sweet and innocent. Miss Julia is an older lady with very high moral standards, which makes the stories comical.

The Next Book I read was Three Weeks In Paris by Barbara Taylor Bradford. This wasn’t a book I would normally pick to read, but I had it in a box of books and thought I would give it a try. It was ok, I wouldn’t go out and buy it.

The last book I read was Blood Memory by Greg Iles. Chad got it from our neighbor and he put it on my nightstand, and I avoided reading it for a while because of the title. It sounds like a gory book, but it wasn’t too creepy. I actually couldn’t put it down, it was a great mystery.

I actually finished a book while waiting t0 finish this post which I started over the weekend. My Grandma gave it to me to read while she was here. It was set in the mid to late 1930’s and was an interesting story. It is Atonement By Ian Mcewan. It was a good historical fiction, I liked it but didn’t Love it. For some reason I can not add the book photo. Oh well.

On to the next topic: I received a blogger award! Yippee! Mary at Now Entering Momville so nicely gave me this Blogger award. Mary is such a sweet gal and she has a ton of great give aways.
