On Hallowe’en the thing you must do
Is pretend that nothing can frighten you
And if somethin’ scares you and you want to run
Just let on like it’s Hallowe’en fun.
Happy Halloween Y’all ….
May it be filled with Safety & Fun.. Hugs, Debbie
Hey Everyone .. It’s been a while .. I know I’ve been such a slacker here in blogland. Hopefully I have kicked that sickness that has had me on deaths door for over a month. On my return back I didn’t want to do a post about all the stuff that has happened since my last post .. I’ll share those details later. I wanted to jump right back in on a couple of my favorite parties.. Tablescape Thursday & Foodie Friday.
This is our table from last month.. The day I had put it together I was feeling really good .. but afterwards things went down hill for me and this stayed set up for 3 weeks. Lucky for me though just before packing things up.. it was perfect setting for me to snap a few shots of some peppers a friend sent me. Aren’t those peppers beautiful.. They were grown by a great friend of mine Kristin .. who has the greenestestestest thumb around.
This next one is my favorite of the set.
What’s for dinner? Cornbread.. Hot and fresh outta the skillet. Yum ..
With that cornbread …
Fresh butter beans from Suzie’s garden and some of those canned tomatoes I put up earlier in the summer.
Dessert … Homemade Cherry Vanilla Ice Cream .. made by my sweet husband.
Here a few pics of those beautiful Peppers Kristin grew..
There were yellow ones.. red ones.. green ones.. purple ones.. and orange ones.
Those oranges ones .. the Habaneras .. those we don’t eat lol but I do love their beauty.
Are Y’all ready for Fall… I can’t wait to play catch up and see what all I’ve missed this past month.. I know with all you wonderful creative folks.. I’ll be Ooohhh and Ahhhhh like crazy.
Be sure to Visit Susan @ Between Naps on the Porch and Gollum @ Designs by Gollum for more treats this week.

*Liz .. thank you for all the messages.. Bless you my friend .. you brighten my days.
It’s Met Monday & Thrifty Treasures time.. What a great way to kick off the week .. and my return back to blogland. For those that missed me.. Thank YOU Thank YOU Thank YOU for the emails and messages. I have been one sick gal I tell ya… I started out with a simple lil ole sore throat that turned into Swine Flu.. then I ended up with Pneumonia. For 18 days straight I was like the walking dead… I thought for sure my time was up. Now all that’s left is a lil hacking cough.. but all is good.
I’m sharing a few things I picked up before all that sickness and a finished project I teased y’all with before going awol on ya.
On my last Met Monday post .. I shared with y’all this cookie jar. I had planned on sending this one off to Goodwill, but decided I’d try a lil chalkboard paint on it.
Taped off the area I didn’t want chalkboard paint on .. and viola .. Finished jar on the right. Also on the right is a candle stand that was being used to hold a birdcage and it suffered a crash on the fireplace..
With a little Gorilla Glue .. yeah that’s all I had in the house.. and a fresh coat of flat black .. it’s good as new again.
When I saw this next piece at Goodwill for $2.74 I knew it would be perfect to replace the clay candle stand as the birdcages new stand. Sprayed it black .. and of course I didn’t get a picture of it after I added the gloss black.. but trust me .. it’s darling. And that Rocking Horse in the background .. he’s in the middle of a morph .. so look for him in an upcoming post.
I found these small pumpkins and gourds at Dollar General for .99 a bag and the small pumpkins with the leaves and flowers for .99 ea.
Arranged them in the birdcage..
My Sweet Husband gathered up some of my fall stuff from outta the garage.. that basket has been Morphed so many times.. I can’t even count.
Finished basket..
I love this little scarecrow pumpkin .. He lights up!
Isn’t he just the cutest.. So Fall!
I didn’t have enough to do the front and back of the basket the same .. so I started adding these jack-o-lanterns.. which will be perfect for Halloween .. all I have to do is just turn the basket around.
Next .. time to toss out the daisies ..
Ahhhh Welcome Fall!

Welcome to Thrifty Treasures & Met Monday.. Hosted by Rhoda @ Southern Hospitality & Susan @ Between Naps on the Porch.
A few more Goodwill finds.. An assortment of dishes that I picked up at Goodwill at different times over the summer.
Prices ranged from .55 to 1.55.
The reason for so many mix-matched plates.. I’m spray painting them of course lol.
Found these darling Bleikristall 24% crystal salt & pepper shakers at Goodwill .. $2.74 for the set.
Stems from Goodwill .. Were originally $1.51 each .. but 1/2 off because they were the color of the week. Perhaps my most exciting find.. This NOKIA cup! My husband’s favorite coffee cup of all time was a hot pink.. yes hot pink cup just like this one.. it’s that eco friendly corn plastic.. his “pinky cup” suffered an accident.. and had to be retired. I had searched the internet trying to find him another one .. but could only find them in bulk of 100’s for purchase. It appears they are a hot thang for companies promoting their business. So hopelessly I gave up.. Then one day as I walked in Goodwill and there it was .. sitting all alone on the top shelf .. as if it was displayed just for me to see. I snatched it up and home it came.. The look on hubby’s face priceless! I got more sugah than his next cup of coffee! lol
This canister is one that I already had .. I had packed it up to give to Goodwill.. but after seeing so many things being morphed here in blogland I pulled it out and decided to give it a new look.
I taped off the section I wanted to paint with my chalkboard paint.
Sprayed the lid with a gloss white to cover the magnolias. This as well as the section I covered with the chalkboard paint required about 4 coats because the raised design of the magnolias. Turned out great .. but sadly I didn’t get a picture of it completely finished at the time because it wasn’t dry and today as I’m posting these both cameras are with Jeff & Ashley. Y’all please forgive me .. promise I’ll fill it with treats soon and get it on here.
For more Thrifty Treasures finds and Met Monday delights .. head on over to Rhoda & Susan’s and see what they and everyone else has going on today.
Hugs Y’all,
Debbie
