Burst of Fall Color!

GORGEOUS Fall wreaths for double front doors! Mustard bake ware is pretty on display and ceramic pumpkins tall and small give a hint of fall to come!


Love the red! I want this, and this, and this on my wish list! Memo board, spoon rest, salt and peppers, and coaster set. Iron napkin/letter holder is very nice with a set of new fall buffet napkins, just in!









Ready for the holidays! Nice presentation for your fabulous recipes! Serve your delicious specialty in autumn hued bake ware in celery or olive green, persimmon, vanilla, or mustard. Love the serviceable decorative stand too! Shapes include: 13x9 rectangular, 8x8 square, and 7x11 oval.





Stern Bulldog statue and matching bookends:hummm...mental note:gift idea for hubby's office! Pick up hostess gifts: pewter beaded edge plate, pineapple spreader, and black damask party napkin set or maybe a very nice black or brown damask guest towel. Check, done! You might like the decorative set of rooster plates for yourself!










Grand Whitewashed Rooster Guards the premises! Regal 22" tall fowl for cabinet top or shelves.







Leaf Bowl and Spreader. Mix up a recipe of our yummy dip mixes: Plantation Mex, Chipotle Ranch, Spinach Artichoke, Bayou Cajun Crab, Jazzy Shrimp Bisque, Sassy Spinach, or Some Like it Hot and serve with acorn and leaf spreader! Nice Fall gift too!



Use the persimmon leaf plate for a cheese ball of the same dip mixes!

Please! Hurry Fall!


It's officially Fall Y'all! From the looks of the weather, there has been a lot of serious prayer for rain and we really needed it! We will really appreciate a little nip in the air, next week I hope! In anticipation, we can embellish our homes with the warm glowing hues of Fall! A few falling leaves here, a frisky squirrel there, or maybe a realistic pumpkin commanding respect as the center of attention!









Just a touch of color means a lot, when it's Autum color! Persimmon casseroles, artichoke green pitchers, rustic striped bowls, or a functional pewter pumpkin bowl might be just what you need. And yes, It's time to enjoy our Halloween Decorations!

The glory of this sweet soft blanket is that it is so hugeand it is even softer and fluffier after washing! The perfect modesty cover for nursing mothers & babies, big enough for a sheet for the Pack n' Play, nice and snuggly to swaddle up baby, and just a good year round blanket!

Navy blue and green stripes, hugs & kisses logo, little peeps, or polka dots!

Hot and pastel pink stripes, polka dots, fluttery butterflies, little peeps, and daisies!


Cute critters: frogs, bumble bees, red caterpillars, or flaming orange gold fish.


Baby can sleep safe and sound in the gauzy sleep sack too! No blanket required, so he can snuggle up safely. Sleeveless, but covering chubby thighs, and it zips from top to bottom to prevent escapes!

Right now we have size L and XL in Buzzy Bumble Bee and Pink Butteryfly prints.

You're going to Love 'em!
