Double Decker Sliding Barn Doors

I still like this sliding barn door trend, especially on this converted barn/home. via

I woke up early after a half day of mowing yesterday and I'm almost finished with my fall cleanup. I was shocked into getting it finished after I saw photos of an early dusting of snow in Connecticut and upstate New York this week. It is unusually warm today and that's good for the trick or treaters. Happy Halloween. xo

Lovely Conservatory

YES, Yes, and yes to everything I see in this photo. The conservatory is especially nice. via

Simple Top Crust Pie Decor

Isn't this fork decoration beautiful? What a great and super-simple idea! I will definitely copy it when I make a chicken pot pie in the near future. The apple pie above is going to be beautiful. via

Cutest Little Black Lamb

This could possibly be the cutest lamb I have ever seen. via Have a great Halloween weekend. 

Brown and White

Brown and white transferware with brown and white upholstered chair -- NICE! via

Comfy Indoor Cat

This made me laugh. Woke up to a rainy day but it's warmer than yesterday so all is good here at the cottage. xo

Dahlias Saved from the Frost

One of my good friends was out of town this week and she texted me to go over and cut all of her dahlias to save them from the frost. So I did. There were only a couple of big open blooms but lots of tight buds that are beginning to open. It's so nice to have fresh flowers in the house this time of year and a friend who wants to share.
