Show Us Your Life--Bathrooms

This is my first week to participate in "Show Us Your Life" sponsored by Kelly's Korner.
Hopefully I will be able to successfully link to the blog.  We have three bathrooms
and this is our master bath.  The colors are mainly khaki, white, and black but I did
add some spring flowers to pick up the colors in a really cute footstool my sweet
husband got me a few years ago.

I recently spray painted the knobs black.  I know the fixtures are brass and totally out-dated
but I'm 54 and I'm totally out-dated.  Besides, I know what younger homemakers don't know--
brass will be back in someday :).

The idea for the framed piece with our name and initials actually came from
a talented young lady's blog that I found a while back.  I found her blog when
I was looking for decorating ideas and later found out she lives in our town
and attends our church.  Thanks, Shannon.

I love birdcages and I usually put Christmas greenery in and around this one.

                                                                                        
Thanks for looking.  I'm excited to see everyone else's ideas.

October Perfection

                                                       Yankee's new best fall candle




 This week taco soup and caramel flan will hopefully appear from this cookbook.  I'll post recipes if it does.
October is one of my favorite months.  It is hard to beat October weather when it is typical and at its best.  Today we have very little wind,a bright sunny sky, and temperatures in the high 60s.  That's outside--here are pictures of the fall beauty we are enjoying inside.
