Willy Nilly

I haven't posted for over a week and as I tried to come up with a topic,

the word random came to mind.

 iPhotos on my computer is filled with

a bunch of random,

unconnected pictures.

Then, the word Willy Nilly popped into my head so I googled it to make sure I understood the meaning.

Yes, my life seems to be quite "here, there and all over the place" lately

and this post is completely haphazard too.

Last week, I was looking online for Christmas ideas and found Marie and Magnus - 18" pixies-  on sale for half price at Maileg USA.

Marie and Magnus will probably be sitting on this ladder when I decorate it for Christmas, but for now they are sitting on a bench at the foot of the guest room bed.

Or, at least they were when I left the house to run errands this morning.

When I got home, the pixies were in a pile on the bed.

Lulu would not look me in the eye when I asked her about the pixies.

Another recent purchase was a set of cake stands from Decor Steals.

The stands can be taken apart for storage so I just put them in a cupboard until I started my Christmas decor.

But, the other day, I decided I didn't want to wait for Christmas, so I made a "cake".

I gathered up all the dried flowers I could find around the house and in cupboards and tucked my twin mice into the vignette

I added the Little Sister Mouse that I bought at the same time as the pixies.

I don't decorate much for fall, but this vignette definitely has some fall tones to it.

On our recent San Francisco vacation, we spent one night in Folsom visiting family and walked around the historic shopping district.

If we hadn't been in Steve's sports car, I might have convinced him to let me bring home the bathtub or maybe the vintage screen door.

Instead, I settled on a vintage look bucket that fit in the car just fine.

In finding a spot to display the bucket, I decided to bring this yellow bench down from the attic.

I will close this disjointed post with the ad for a class I just signed up to take - I have always wanted to try felting.

Thanks for staying with me through this "higgledy-piggledy" post.
