FEATHERED NEST FRIDAY & GIVEAWAY!!


It's the week before Halloween....


When all things creepy and spooky come out...


Are you ready?


Have you picked out the perfect pumpkin for carving?


Finished your decorating
bought lots of candy
and found the perfect costume for
trick or treating?


Just a few Halloween inspirations today.


I have been painting and sewing this week
and getting outside in this glorious weather and
enjoying all the beautiful Autumn colors.
Yep... I guess Fall is definitely here!
We live in a historic area of California that gets loads of colorful leaves and trees
and it is so beautiful to walk the trails with them falling all around you.
Not so great for my allergies... but beautiful!
:)

This week-
feel free to link up ALL your Halloween inspirations
as well as your regular decorating, flea finds, etc.
Link whatever you would like!


Don't forget to enter my giveaway!!
I am giving away a copy of
Carolyne Roehm's

A PASSION FOR INTERIORS
An absolutely gorgeous inspiring book!!
