Fall Display

Bits of Fall decor at the store.

Every year my crows come out to play.

What do you think of the new crow head on the right of the box?

It is part of a loom.

  a few of my hand made pumpkins left...

love the old typewriter too.

tucking artificial fall 'greenery' livens up our display.

And all kinds of mysterious items hidden here and there.

 this is an old charcoal lighter.

when they get hot you dump into your bar-b-q.

perfect for a floral bouquet.

that's all.

Crows & Clocks & Lanterns & Stuff

 Just a few pics to entertain you, and hopefully give you some ideas.

a little vignette on the fireplace hearth.

That white wood is a bee keep lid.

On the right is a hand made old shoe repair form.

 Just got a gallon jar of watches and parts.

Wait till I show you what was in there!!

 cute BOO banner and display on old gate.

 

watch faces and keys in an old drill bit box.

 A fun and unique way to display your little treasures.

(I have more watch faces now)

Love crows and old clocks.

Beware. There may be more coming soon. =)

Crow Crazy and Fun Fall

OK, Here is what I am working on this week,
and it is another fun idea for your decor for October.
You know I really love doing the crow things,
but just what are these guys doing??
Amazing what a little cheesecloth can do.

oh too cute!

They've made a place to hang out.Right above the rest of my Fall decor.

To do the hanging crow's lamp:
(sorry i forgot to take pics)
Take any old hanging lamp and paint it black.
(could also be a candelabra )
Drape tea stained cheesecloth around it as you like.
Ad crow's and hang with a black chain.

You could also add Spanish moss, trinkets, and bling.
(this one is not done yet.)

I'm working on a sitting candle holder with the same idea.

And here is another project in process:

Edgar Allen Crow

And here is a crow's nest pumpkin.

A stuffed black, pumpkin,
with all the trimmings added.

thanks for joining me today.

I will also be doing some up with old watch faces or jewelry included (extra)

Spooky Inspiration White

Here is a little something for you.
My Crows Nest Lamp.
An idea you can put together for the October season.
Not much into some of the celebrating, but love crows,
so base my vignettes around them.
Click on photo, then click again, to waaay enlarge,
and see details.
Let me know if you have any questions.
(and be sure to come back and see the new 'crowations' coming soon.)

Here is anew little tea set.
Pot is about 4" tall.
Hand made I think.
It is an 8 piece place setting!
Never seen one with sooo many tea cups and little saucers.
So 30 pieces all together!!
That is one big tea party.

Funky Junk Interiors

is having a Saturday Night Special Party,
and I'm linking up to Mondays

DIY Show Off for Fall.

If you have visited lately at all,
you know how much fun i am having with my crows.
Some of these pics i have posted before, but
here are a couple of new ones for you.

This *crow's nest is in a lamp.
I just spray painted the lamp black,
took out the guts,
put an old rusty wire shade form on it,
and draped it with cheesecloth type fabric,
added a nest on the inside, and a crow on 'look out'.

SOLD

This is my newest crow's nest.

It is done on a dark chocolate brown velvet pumpkin,
with sequins!!

Mr. Crow does not mind
sharing his place with two friends,
as long as they do not eat much.

A fiend of mine in blogger land (thank you Lea @ ye old potting shed)
called one of my crow's "Edgar Allen Crow".
Is that too cute? Now why didn't i think of that?

So, *meet Mr Edgar Allen Crow!!

I love this one!
Just an old frame painted black.
Music paper background,
an old watch face, piece off a door know,
cheesecloth, little signs, and spiders,
and there you go!!

Here is quick and easy.
(not supposed to be sideways!).

Some plastic letters from a game.
Paint the edges black, glue on music paper,
make it all look old, and wa lah!!
Another project for your Halloween decor.

This old lantern spray painted black,
was my first piece of crow art.
A nest, some raffia, and a couple of signs, and spider friends,
and there you go again.

Now here is someone else for you to meet.

This is Gertie, the witch.
I painted her several years ago.
She is 5' tall,
and in October is the 'greeter' at the front door of the store.
She does not much like being out in the cold and wet,
but has a good attitude, knowing she
gets to 'rest' the other 11 months of the year
inside a warm house.. =0))

Say good by Gertie.

Blessings and thanks for joining in.
