~Surprise Birthday Gift~

I received a special birthday gift in the mail today from my dear friend Connie. She sent me a wonderful candle ledge that she and her hubby have been making. I already found the perfect spot for it. I just have to find a candle to sit on the ledge. I have been wanting one of these so I was sooo excited to get this!! She also sent me some yummy smelling tarts and cute little wax mug with putka pods and some mug mats that she has been making since getting a new sewing machine for her birthday last week. She's doing a great job! I just love it all! I am putting the mug mats on my island next to my fall placemats. They will look perfect. I am so blessed to have Connie as a friend. She is one of the sweetest people I have ever met. Thank you Connie!

~This Weeks Projects~

I finally finished a few projects I have been working on for my cottage prim bedroom and bath. Mr. Briar Ridge and I made the soap holder and the candle holder. I'm just waiting for my sweet annie to come in and they will be completely finished. I will be adding sweet annie to the basket and little sprigs to the soap.

Thank you Kris at Simply Prim for the great tutorials on the soap holder and candle holder! Mine aren't as nice as yours but they will do.

~Autumn Giveaway~

Evelyn over at Lee Hill Primitives is having a birthday giveaway. She is giving away some amazing goodies. Stop by her blog and tell her I sent you.

~Oreo is home~

We finally got to bring out adopted kitty home. It has been a week since her leg was amputated and you would never know. She runs around all over the place even jumping onto the sofa. She is the sweetest kitty. Even Mr. Briar Ridge has fallen in love with her. He was the man that hated cats. They seem to have a special bond since he was the one that picked her up off the road.

~Fall Stitchins~

~Some Fall Stitchin~

I don't really have anything to post about today. I have lots of new projects started but they are unfinished. We have been spending some time at our local no kill animal shelter. 2 weeks ago hubby and I found a little kitty on the side of the road screaming in pain. We immediately stopped the car and picked up the kitty. She had so many injuries that we didn't think she was going to make it. We are amazed how she is coming along. Tuesday she is scheduled to have one of her front legs amputated. After that she will be coming home with us. We hadn't intended on keeping her but after all she has been through, we couldn't leave her at the shelter to live her life. I'll take some pics of her soon. We think we are going to name her Oreo since she is black & white.



Here are a couple of fall samplers I stitched up recently. I thought I would share with you all.

~Today's Project~

I made a bunch of these flicker candles today. They were really fun to make. Thanks to my sweet friend Constance for telling me how to make them!!

~14 Years Today~

Today my husband and I are celebrating our 14th anniversary. It seems like forever. We were married when I was 19 and my hubby was 21. I can't imagine my life without him. He is such a wonderful man. I love you sweetheart.

~Saturday's Find~

Hubby and I stopped at a yard sale yesterday. It was at a beautiful old house built in 1807. I found this 13 inch Munising bowl for $15.00. Now I just have to find the perfect spot for it and what to put in it.

~My new find~

Hubby and I went to a Peddler Mall in town last week and I found this x-stitched sampler for $3.50. I decided it would look perfect if I primmed it up a bit so I coffee stained it. It's actually darker than it looks. It was already framed and I haven't decided if I want to paint the frame black or not. I thought it was a great deal. It is signed and dated.
