Decoupage and New Treasures

Hello darlings,

We hope you had a lovely weekend.  Our weekend was great, we had such gorgeous weather... and we enjoyed every bit of it.  I want to share with you two craft projects that I did this past weekend.  My very first decoupage candle.

I LOVE it!

This is the rose I used to decorated

the candle.   

I had so much fun creating this candle, that

I couldn't stop there...  I also made a decoupage

soap.

This is the original look...

An English Lavender soap.

Now I will show you my new finds...

I love pretty boxes...

with pink roses

I'm always hunting for anything with

pink roses

We also found a big candle holder that matches perfectly

with our mantel and furniture.

A tiny porcelain box

A miniature plate of The Queen Mother

Queen Elizabeth

Displayed beautifully in company of more

blue pieces.

A lovely small vase and ...

a small bowl with pretty pink roses

By the way our knock-out roses are blooming beautifully!

How about your roses?  Do you still have them?

A lovely bouquet for you!

We found this mini candle holder

for just one dollar.

I added some crystals and candles to take

this picture, but I'll be adding a few more crystals

later on.

It's looking so pretty!

Don't you think?

I have more treasures, but this post is

 getting too long so this is it. 

Keep hunting for treasures darlings!

With lots of love,

The Aromas of Autumn

Hello darlings,

Falling in love with fall and all that comes with its
harvest.  We have been like little squirrels, storing
for winter.  We canned and freeze some of our
local fruits, and we loving every minute of it. 
The apples are delicious and the peaches are
mouth watering.  Very tasty indeed.

My dear husband busy at the milling process.

Do you like to have some apple sauce?

Almost ready for canning.

Delicious Apple Sauce!

Finally!

The apple sauce has been canned, now let's

can some juicy peaches!

Getting a good bath in hot water to be able

to remove the skin easily.

VERY mouth watering!

I love them!

Very pleased with the results

We also canned carrots

Strawberry Jam and...

Cranberry Jam

We reused the tomato sauce jars,

CLASSICO (Atlas,Mason jars)

We give Thanks for all our Blessings!

Wishing you Harvest Blessings!

I bought this plate, the flower and the little squirrel at Hobby Lobby,

I love that store, and I think you will love it too.

Here's a close-up of the cute little squirrel.

Enjoy the Cool season!

Blessings!

This is a painting of Sandwich Village,

Cape Cod.  We bought it as a memory sake

before we moved out from the beautiful Cape.
