TWO, TWO, TWO POSTS IN ONE......

SINCE I AM GOING TO BE GONE ALL WEEKEND I THOUGHT I WOULD JUST COMBINE TWO POSTS....
POST ONE
Stained Glass Pictures
I just finished another 5 pictures for this weekend's show I am participating in with Friends Candle Shed. We are going to be in LeClaire, IA at Grasshopper's, a place where Sharon has an indoor space. It is Autumn Market Days.
October 9-11 - Seasons of LeClaire, Autumn Market Days beginning at 9:00 amWhen the leaves start turning to fall colors, it's time for Autumn Market Days in LeClaire. Scarecrows line the main street as street musicians entertain. There are live demonstrations, a library book sale and fun for the whole family. Stroll back in time, dining and shopping in LeClaire's historic downtown filled our unique shops.
Activities: Sidewalk sales, kids activities, lunch venues, Left Bank Art League Art Fait, Mississippi Cottage Antiques Art Fair, QC Greyhound Adoption Meet and Greet at River Pup, and live music festival

I kinda got into the fall colors,,,, because it actually is my most favorite season and the colors of nature are screaming this year!! So I have been burning the midnight oil for the past week. Ideas are swirling so fast, the other day as I was gluing one picture, I was sketching another idea so I didn't lose it in the mental confusion....
So here are pics of the latest 5 I did.







I have been having a blast, but have had way too many late nights. I just get so busy and then I look at the clock and am amazed how fast time flys!!!

Monday, I'll have pics of the show to share,,,,

POST TWO
MUMS THE WORD...
Yesterday I got a call from Maria to come and get some mums if I wanted. SO I DID!!!! I love, love mums and asters (as you know from previous post) and these needed a home. I AM A FLOWER RESCURER! If they need a home, I have one to share. I also like passing plants/flowers on to others. I tell people that come to visit, If you see some flower or plant in my yard, and you want a start, let me know.... I'm sure a few people must think I am nuts!!

So when I got over to Maria's at Hilltop Greenhouse, I just could not help myself!!! This is what I brought home. DH (dear hubby) just smiled and shook his head.... Actually, I think he likes them too... his only words, "oh, those are nice!" He is so kind... I guess that's what 32 years does for me, he just goes along with most things...


The colors are just magnicifient!!!

Oh wait til next year!!! It is going to be colorful around here!!!
