I found a couple of good deals this week. First I found a set of 4 vintage looking rooster plates at….where else….TJ Maxx for $6.99!

I needed something for my dining room on sides of the patio doors. So I split up that Fleur di Lis art that I did and put one on each side of the door and put the plates underneath.
Left side above & right side below.
Then I went to Michael’s and all the fall foliage was 80% off! I got some things for 59 cents! I bought some faux fall things to use next year and since I love hydrangeas I bought some of those to use now. They had some yummy fall colors of red, brown and one with a bit of purple.
I’ve had this iron urn since forever. It’s very rusty and old looking. You know, you can never have too many urns!
Last but not least, I went to Target this week and bought the cutest dish scrubber for $1.29! It’s in the linen section. I haven’t used it, but everytime I have to go to my sink it makes me smile!
It’s been so nice and chilly here but for the most part sunny that I’ve been spending most of my time outside. Fall is such a beautiful time of year! I hope y’all have a great weekend!

Love those plates. I had 17 centerpieces to make for a church dinner and used the Michaels fall foliage at 70% off. I will be showing them on the blog this weekend.

Lady Katherine says
I love the Roosters! My kitchen is covered in them. The urn with the bronze color? hydrangeas is wonderful on your table. I need to go shopping with you, you can really find some deals. The urn you can pass on to me when you have worn it out. lol
ShabbyInTheCity says
Haven’t we had the most enjoyable days ever?!
Your blossoms look wonderful in the dining room and so do the rooster plates:)

So warm and cozy! I wish I lived by…I’d stop in for a visit…
Heather says
great plates! i love your decorating!

Your golden is so beautiful! Another great idea for shelters is donating old blankets and towels. One shelter I volunteered for used those instead of newspapers in the cages. Much more comfy!
Thanks for stopping by!
And your plates look great!
Debbie says
Lover the urn! Your right, you can never have too many.

Just beautiful. We just finished our hallway in a similar yellow. It is wonderfully bright and cheery. I LOVE the splashes of red you have, my favorite colour. I really think your banner is just delightful to look at. Have a blessed weekend.

Forgot to mention, I plan on doing my diningroom chairs in that similar material you have on your banner. I think it’s ‘toile’. I’m learning so much through blogs,,LOL

mrsjones6 says
Oh Manuela, I love the plates! They fit so perfectly with your decor. And what a deal! TJ Maxx is probably a favorite shopping destination of mine.
So much to catch up with. It looks as if you have been very busy and creative once again. It is always a joy to stop by.
Hope that your week is off to a fabulous beginning,
Jen
Mary says
Hello Manuela – I’m busy still trying to catch up with everyone! What a marvelous time I had and now so many images to share – the South Of France is such a beautiful area and there was so much to see!
You are staying busy – and your home, as always, is looking just delightful. My plan is to try to stay away from china shops – I must edit and simplify! I keep saying this I know, now I must do it! So you can have all the pretty dishes from here on out – but I will still hoist a heavy, charming urn home any day, ha! ha!
Enjoy the week.
Hugs – Mary.
Paula says

Hello Sweet Manuela! I just wanted to say I feel the same as you do regarding never having too many urns!! The rustier the better…plus the hydrangeas are amazing. Thanks for sharing…as always.
