fresh picked whimsy

spooky signs

Do you love to decorate for fall and Halloween as much as i do?  My mom always decorated in fun ways for Halloween when i was growing up.  It's a cozy time of year...I just love it! 

I've loaded my etsy shop with brand new Halloween hand painted signs today! 

{striped skull glittered sign}

{chevron glittered skull sign}

{zombies sign}

{eat, drink & be scary sign}

I love to make custom signs, too!  You can always email me or message me for requests!  Wouldn't those skull & crossbones signs be cool in hot pink? or lime green?

So many possibilities...

Pumpkin spice and everything nice!

Happy Fall, friends!

An Affair to Remember

Wowzers...that was fun!  A Fair in September was a hit.  The weather was perfection and our friends and family came out in big numbers to support us.  We made lots of new friends, too!  If you couldn't make it, allow me to walk you through...

Meet the Fair girls...

Jenny and Kristin created this fun art fair a few years ago.  Jenny hosts it in her backyard every year.

Sue is Jenny's mom and Sandy is her friend.  They helped in countless ways to help the Fair run smoothly.  Couldn't have done it without them!

Be sure to search for A Fair in September and follow on facebook to get updates and info about next year's Fair!  A big heartfelt thanks to Jenny and Kristin for inviting me to be a part of this awesome event this year.  I loved every minute of it!

It's football season, friends!  Can i get a woot woot!!!??

This being Riley's senior year, all things football are extra special.  It's a year of "lasts".  So, you will be seeing more posts about my greyhound this fall. 

For the past two years i have been making the locker signs for the team.  Of course i loved designing them.  But assembling and hanging them is a labor of love.  There are 250+ guys on the team!! Thankfully, i had lots of parent volunteers helping me hang them all over the school!

Looking back on Riley's past four year's locker signs really shows how he has transformed from a boy to a young man...

freshman year...

sophomore year...

junior year...

and senior year...

Wow, that went by quickly.

Happy friday, friends!

 

GO GREYHOUNDS!
