WHERE MY HEART IS....



Looks like Fall is here to stay! 
Come see where my heart is, come on in!
(I loved making the wreath)

I love Fall and all it brings...


I love pulling out the Fall blankets and throws...


I made a nature basket of things from this area that I like. I went
over to the St. George temple grounds and gathered a few of my
favorite things...the little white puff in the middle is cotton from the
cotton plants there.


This praying mantis hangs out on one of my front porch chairs.


My roses in St. George are blooming like crazy!

I love that Fall can be here and I can still have my roses.


My little front foyer in our St. George home.


An old picture in the foyer, it's called; Bus Stop On Temple Street.
You can see on the bottom right corner the St. George Temple.


Some of the things I love...


I love Lavender and angels...

And baby kittens...

I love the little old shelves in this home too.

An old frame I found with a picture of Ron and I
from years ago when we met.

A $100.00 throw I found for our white bed...it was only
$5.00 at a thrift store! It still had the tags on it too!


I love little birds and flowers...

and old mirrors...

I love to doll up my shower curtain with with sparkles...

I changed the old ugly glass for... pretty old glass.

It gives off such a pretty glow in the bathroom.



I love my new painting on the fridge...

and my old aprons hanging on the back door.

Love,  love my old vintage glasses...


and the pictures of family on my fridge.


I love old linins,  my linin book,  and chickens


Love the cherry spoon rest...

that matches the valances I made.

A little sign to match too.


We love the back patio too, this is a fun place to eat a fresh grilled
hamburger!


I found these darling little guys at a thrift store...


they make me smile...

Cutest little faces ever!


I LOVE to curl up out here and read for hours!



I didn't know if I liked this old stove, but after dressing it
up a bit, I love it!


I found this old old frame at a thrift store and I
added this sweet picture.


I have had this little lamp for years, it looks so cute
on my dressing table.


So do the roses...

and the red polka dot gloves hanging over the mirror...

I love pretty things on my dresser...

A fun place to get ready!


I put this basket together for my kitchen table...

we have real grapes in our back yard too...

I just love Vintage, don't you?



My mom gave me this little red cardinal. I love to see
through it as I look out back. 

Well, now you know why I am gone a lot and where
my heart is. We are still trying to get our home sold
so that we can get here, and stay...where our hearts are.

LOVE TO ALL



FUN AT 9,600 FEET...



Ron and I went for a ride to see the Fall colors.
What a treat! The place we went was a beautiful
mountain close to our home...Boulder Mountain,
at the top it is 9,600 feet elevation. We live at 7,000ft.

How I love the Fall colors!


We stopped at the other end at a place called,
The Burr Trail Grill. It is a favorite place of ours for many
reasons, it sits right in a grove of trees and the food os so
delicious! The homemade pie above is divine!

It's fun to watch all the tourists and motorcycles stop
to eat, and fun to talk with lots of people from all over.


The burgers are the best! My favorite is a blue cheese
burger...on my gosh, to die for!



This is such an easy Fall treat, you will love it!
