When in Doubt, Paint it White

The temperatures in Maryland took a nose-dive yesterday... yippee!  I finally feel like decorating for fall.  I'll be writing a few short posts in the coming weeks about how we're transitioning the house to fall decor over here.

For one, I put this out

Bye bye birdie!  He was a dollar store find that I painted white.  Why is it that you can take such a ridiculous tchotchke, paint it white, put it under glass and it all of a sudden looks OK?  That's the magic of a cloche I guess (it's really just an old cheese dome from Goodwill).

The pumpkin started out looking like this

More tidbits of fall decor to come.  Hey, it's a start, right?  Thanks for stopping by!

Blessings,
Jamie
