People basically go out and buy everything they feel like they should have gotten for Christmas but didn’t..
They both are.. They’re inside right now, just because it’s so cold, but they’ll head out to the back deck probably next month..They have this really glossy navy blue paint on them right now, and I’ll probably play with them just like this for the Summer, but in the Fall when I bring them back in, I think I’ll probably paint them something a little more neutral, so I can continue to use them willy-nilly in any room of the house..

A whole field of cheery yellow flowers showed up anyway.. And I get to be one of the people who gets genuine joy out of seeing a field full of dandelions..

My DIY haunted house pillow made it out for another year too.. Kennedy’s going to be having a little Halloween party next week for some of her friends so I’ll probably spookify it in here a little more with some spider webs and some torn paper streamers.For now, I like the mix of cheerful Fall decor with just a little bit of Halloween thrown in..
