I am a Victorian Soul, who lives in a small townhouse that was built in the mid 1970's, not a huge Mega Mansion!! I just recently lost my Hubby Joe, who was a Retired Letter Carrier. I worked night shift as an RN on a Hospital based Rehabilitation( Physical Medicine) Unit for 37 years before I had Knee Replacement Surgery and officially Retired in 2019 after 41 years working in Direct Patient Care ... I am so glad that we retired at 62 years of age and got to spend that time together before he passed....I still do love Retirement!!!!

I DABBLE IN A BIT OF THIS AND THAT!!!!

Fall Tea and Decorations!

Well, we finished up our church Flea Market on Sunday and combined with what we made in the Spring, we finished the year with a whooping $5730 !!! We topped and exceeded last year's total!!

I thought I would show you more Fall and Halloween decorations. Yes, I actually do have more decorations. Can you believe it??? I actually can't!!


Over at Tinsel and Company, Tammy is having a Deck the Halls Halloween Party!!

I have linked up this post and 2 others to her great party.
Please visit and see all of the great Halloween ideas and add your own too!!

But first, I decided to do a bit of a Fall Tea.





The Autumn bottles were purchased from The Christmas Tree Shop for $1.00 each!


The ceramic pumpkins were from the Dollar Store.



The plates and the bowls ( turned upside down ) were bought at a yard sale two years ago!
They are melamine!!




I believe I showed you a green heart cup and saucer before. I also had an orange one. Can you see the heart shape in the cup??? And the saucer too.




Hubby Joe bought the Tea Set at a local Department Store for $3.99 on Clearance.
Not bad, huh??












The pie and the cupcake are candles bought from The Christmas Tree Shop.



I am linking up for Tea Tuesday with these parties:

Tea Cup Tuesday

Tea Time Tuesday

Tea Pot and Tea Things Tuesday

Please visit these wonderful hostesses and all of their participants of these great Tea Parties!!

I painted more pumpkins.....

Added one that I sprayed gold and glittered to my Hutch in the Living Room.....


Another one sprayed gold and copper with gold glitter on top added to some more pumpkins and gourds in a carnival glass bowl!!!


And a small topiary... LOL!!




Found another Bear in cute green overalls...



I promised you photos of the outside once my mums were ablaze with color.....

Here is my Front Porch...


The grapevine pumpkin lights up at night in white lights.




We have weeping mortar on the front of our home, making it easy to hang things from...



A Jack O Lantern......



Some more plaques....



You can see my mums are ablaze with color......








Except for these red ones that I am still waiting to open.......



They are just about to open here.....

The wagon was bought 2 years ago at The Christmas Tree Shop.
And all the pumpkins and gourds are fake. Bought at Micheal's over the years on Clearance after Halloween.


Do you notice my mini flags?? The one on the right looks like our sweet Savanna who we lost about 2 months ago. I have had this flag for several years.



Here is something that I bought at our Church Flea Market. Now isn't she a different looking witch???



Her face is ceramic.





This darling little box was a gift from my dear friend, Ann Marie!! Thanks so much , Ann Marie!!




Check out the spiders in her basket and on her fingers...





And those fingernails...




And check out those toe nails....... no boots on this witch!!




I spoke to the woman who originally owned her and she told me that she bought her in Cape May for $125!!!!

And then hung her on her front porch!!!! Can you imagine hanging her outside??????

This woman was also the owner of the Victorian style carriage I told you about a few posts back. She also had the carriage on her front porch!!! No wonder it was so dirty!!! I guess that is why I had to almost completely redo it.

I am linking up to the following parties:
