Gourd-geous Orchard

It was such a beautiful fall day and knowing the weather here would be changing soon we had to go to the orchard. The kids were so excited.

They probably had a hundred mums lining the walkway..vibrant with color.



Inside the store they sold so many kinds of jams and salad dressings that you wanted to try them all : ) . As we looked around we saw some cool things..


I am in love with these firepots!! I have one outside on my table and usually the gel lasts for about a 3hr burn time. So cool or should I say so hot : )



These pumpkins are made out of velvet, really nice when the light hits it.



This was amazing! Gourds that were shaped like swans! Loved them.





The apple gourd came home with me : ) I couldn't resist.

Treasure Hunting

While I was getting the (darn) gray out of my hair and a much needed cut I began talking with the owner about antiques. Dan's salon (The Fuzz) and his restaurant (Octane) has such cool pieces that I knew he would have the answer on places I could check out.

He mentioned a place called "Continental Antiques". I made plans to go the next day .

Here are some of the special pieces I found that were really cool.

A lot of the things he purchases come from Europe.







If you look closely you can see my son and my daughter..lol.



Isn't that just exquisite?

Go treasure hunting this weekend. You never know what you will find :)
