I'm still quelling over the conservatory makeover I shared with you yesterday.
I think one reason I'm so pleased with it is that it is done. Finished.
I can cross it off my TBDBT* List.
Sing Hallelujah!

I used to do a lot of Halloween decorating. Now, I'm more selective.
Mostly because a couple of boxes of Halloween stuff are hiding out
somewhere in That Old House, and we can't find them.
Thankfully it doesn't take much to put a room in a Halloween mood.
Take the sunroom . . . .
There's a goofy smiley Jack O'Lantern waiting at the corner window to light your way if it's dark.
Yes, that's a roll of painters' tape that's holding the heavy molded Jack O'Lantern on the windowsill.
Hey, whatever works, right?
Just outside the sunroom doors, pumpkins and mums.
And on the round skirted table in the corner between the loveseats, there's this . . .
How can you not smile back at this stack of goofies?
They crack me up. They look terrific at night, with a tea light inside.
Across the room, on the old Southern pie safe, their big cousin holds up
the proud O'Lantern family tradition of making people smile.
And over on the newly-painted bookcase next to my favorite chair . . .
a wee little pumpkin bids us Welcome.
A few Jack O'Lanterns, some autumn colors, some bats in the parlor
(which are much better than bats in the belfry!),
and That Old House is ready for the spooky holiday of Halloween.

Uh-oh. I've been discovered by Dion, who is telepathically letting me know
it is much too fine a day to stay inside at the computer.
There goes the tail. Okay, Dion, you are irresistible. I'll wrap this up and we can
head out and bark at some squirrels. Well, you can bark. Barking makes my throat sore.
Live and learn, eh?
I'm sure there are loads and loads of Halloween and Autumn themed table tops
and vignettes over at Marty's blog -- A Stroll Thru Life.

*TBDBT List = To Be Done By Thanksgiving List.
I make one every year; I'm aces at making lists.
Finishing projects? Not so much.
