A little Festive

Halloween / Fall is my favorite time of year.  I love the crisp mountain air, the sweet smells, football games, rides in the colorful mountains, fall food and the list goes on and on.  Since I finally have my own house I decided to try out a few new decorating ideas.  I want to create something fun that can become a tradition that my kids will remember.  I am not sure that I hit a home run this year with my table decor but it was fun and I think it looks cool!  Cameron helped me put up a few things on the front porch but since it's 58 degrees below zero tonight  I am not going to go out and take a picture, maybe another day. 

The above picture is of my CLEAN room and my mantle, I should have zoomed in closer to see the mantle better but you get the picture!  And just pretend that you don't see our big old lunker of a tv, Mark has a new HDTV in his dreams and that has to be good for the time being!

I got the nice "stem ware"! at Pier One-hopefully I can find other fun uses for them throughout the year, maybe a fancy dinner with my husband will have to be planned.  And I have decided that I want to start collecting candle holders/candle sticks, I love them. The tall ones in this picture I got for my wedding, the others I got from Mark's grandma's house. (I saw the exact set in an Antique store last week for a pretty good price!)  I have some other fun ones that I will use at Christmas. 

This pumpkin I got at Swiss Days this year.  For about 7 years I have been wanting to but this so to celebrate our new status as "home owners" I bought it for us!  It was on my table until the Halloween stuff went up, and after Halloween it will go back on the table. 

On this new version of Blogger I can't find the spell check, so please ignore all the misspelled words!
