Getting ready for fall....

I went grocery shopping yesterday. I really wanted to go thrifting but it was hot. I needed the change from my shopping to do the thrifting and if I went there after I shopped, stuff would melt in the car. So I didn't do it. On the way home tho, there is a place called the Decor Warehouse. Its an outlet for holiday decorating. I was there a week or so ago and bought this gorgeous metal pumpkin. (no pic right now, if I get a chance to, Ill post that later). This place sells a lot of what the craft stores do but much cheaper so I like to go there around the holidays.

Ive been feeling stuck in the hot cuz of this heat so since it was so close and I knew I wouldn't be in there long, I went yesterday. I really should avoid this place tho. Its ez to spend toooooo much. But I saw that stuffed turkey up there in the top picture. He was calling my name. I tried to ignore that but he just wouldn't let me leave the store without him! Hes got long dangly legs and his feathers are felt with wire in them. You can bend them to shape. I showed my bf today and he laughed.

This lil guy smiled at me and I knew he wanted to come home with me too....sigh. I really have to stop picking up strays lol. Hes only about 3in. high but soooooooo cute! So I bought him for Halloween.
And I bought this pretty pumpkin, small like the other one but with that saying on it, for Thanksgiving.
And then I saw these table runners draped over the chairs of a dining set. Some were green background and some were this beautiful rich brown. Its shiny, silky fabric embellished with stitching, appliques and sequins. The green seemed a bit gaudy tho. The brown looked so rich and I figured would go much better with whatever I have around.
Look at the details on this ....looks even better in person. The camera seems to make it much shinier than it is.
