A Little This and A Little That...

 I've taken down the Halloween stuff. I haven't put up much fall decor. I did a little leaf garland-got the idea from Susan Branch's Blog. If you haven't been there you are in for a real treat!
 I found this little oil painting at an antique store-for some reason it just said "Autumn" to me with those colors.
 This is what I spent much of last weekend reading. I really enjoyed it and want to go to England and visit some of those beautiful places.
 But for now, I'll be happy looking at my newest thrift store painting. I just loved this vintage Texas landscape. I want to walk down that path and look at those pretty bluebonnets. I just love those blues and greens.
 It was signed, and you know me. I had to do a little research. I was able to find out where this artist lived and that the painting was done for her son. Guess what his name was? His name was Les. Les Perryman to be exact. So I had to buy it.
 It' s big and the frame is gorgeous. I paid 5$ for it. Steal! I'm going to use it as my inspiration when I redo Son's room-not for awhile yet. So I will just enjoy it leaning against my craft room wall for now.
I'm getting the crafty bug again-I've been working on a few little ornaments and will share soon. What have you been up to? Something fun and fallish I hope.  We're off to some little Texas towns to do some antiquing over the weekend. Have a wonderful weekend.
