Taking Time For A Bit Of Porch Put~zing


I have said it before and you just gotta know that I will say it again....I love to putz. It is the most relaxing activity that I partake in. When I am merrily put~zing about, I find that I am in the Zone...big time....and when I am in that Zone, I am in it deep. So when the talented Melissa of The Inspired Room announced a Fall Drive By Party...featuring fall porches, all I could think was..."oh good golly, it's a put~zing opportunity and all I can say is ~ "I putz, therefore I am...cha, cha, cha!"



Welcome!



Polka dot mini pumpkins, painted pine cones, harvest corn and apple potpourri...


Yep, potpourri~ola...



My put~zing partner extraordinaire ~ our cat ~ Roxie Annette...she has an opinion on everything!


My girls may be "done" with this ol' doll house....but not me...
no way, no how....this house and I have big plans...



Grapevine baby pumpkins...



You got that right!



Turban Squash ~ good baked, steamed or microwaved and keeps well...
that is what the sticker on it's back side read...."keeps well"....well okay then...

I'll keep it on the porch!


I've had this little bundle of corn ~ love for over 15 years...
It didn't have a sticker that read..."keeps well"...but it sure does!



One can never have too much corn...



One of my favorite things...



Hanging corn...and one of my "drop~cloth" pumpkin pillows...



Pumpkin and Cow pillows...together at last!



And the world is as it should be...



Ahhhhh....I love to paint cloth...which, in my book, is another form or put~zing...



A cart of squash and cones...



The orange squash is called ~ Orangetti...don't you just love it...Orangetti!It's label read ~ "Golden orange tone inside and out! Best used instir fry, sauteed or boiled." They forgot ~ Best used for porch put~zing!



More large orange squash with drop~cloth pumpkin leaves...



I love the angle of the sun in Autumn...



Don't you agree that painting drop~cloth leaves is fun~er than doing laundry?



Mr. Pumpkin with his pals named Rosemary...



Save the date!



Ohhhh, I love Halloween!



Well, this was fun....Roxie Annette and I bid you farewell and hope that you willvisit again...be sure to pop back over to The Inspired Room where youare guaranteed to be inspired and then some. Thank you Melissa for hostingsuch a fun~o~rama fall porch party...you are always the hostess with the most~ess!

Halloween Extravaganza ~ Anyone Wanna Party?


That's the real
trouble with the
world, too many people
grow up. They forget.
They don't remember
what it's like to be
twelve years old.

~ Walt Disney



It is so much fun to spend hours playing like you did when you were young....so good for the soul! So welcome friends ~ old and new alike ~ I have been playing around for hours and now my doors are open and the acorn tea is steeped, the crows are in their nests and Halloween is just down the lane a bit....it must be time to party!

A gigantic jack~o~lantern smile goes out to our delightful host ~ Vanessa Valencia from A Fanciful Twist blog heaven...Vanessa~ you rock and then some...cha, cha, cha!

Tea party anyone?
Yum!
Acorn & baby apple tea for one ~ shrunken skull tea for another...

One should think twice before remarking that the witch's
shoes are too point~y...no acorn & baby apple tea for this little
pumpkin~head...
An apple a day....well...too late...
Ready for a parade...
What to do when your witch gets a bit too feisty...see those
shoes are a tad too point~y...
Halloween tree of love...
I heart this tree...all glitter~y and sparkle~y
and branch~y and filled with fairies and then some...
Nothing is better than glittered leaf of joy pinned all about...

My buddy Poe...glitter is edible...right?

Nicol Sayre....enough said...

Oh my good golly...another pumpkin!

All dressed up and ready to rumble...

Canvas of BOO!

I've got a handle on things around here...

Santos and Poe...E~I~E~I~O!

Yep, she's a party girl...

Everyone dressed up for the party...

Little shelf of spooky fun~ola!

Sweet bit of this and that...

You got that right mister...

Poe is back in his dome and time to head for home...

Thank you for stopping by to say howdy....this is so much fun shared with like minded folks like you...and speaking of like~minded folks scoot on back by Vanessa's for more extravagant Halloween Extravaganza ~ and by all means....party til the cows come home!
