Hey there , Punkin!!! Happy Happy Thursday!
I am not going to chat your ears off, but I just wanted to pop in and say hello and to wish you a super day! I also wanted to show you what has been going on in my neck of the woods today. I hope you don't mind. 🤗
I finished decorating one of my tiered trays ,and it is filled to the brim with all things fall.
This tiered tray sits by my corner kitchen sink and beside my collection of kitchen utensils.
The top tray is filled with Dollar Tree faux wooden plaques, leaves and pumpkins , and you may find a chicken in the mix as well. I elevate my fall clutter by putting some of the pieces on cups or on the lids of candles.
The bottom tray has lots of yardbirds just lounging about among the fall leaves and punkins. They are enjoying the idea of the upcoming fall season. I always add my Scarecrow salt and pepper shakers to this tray.
Though it is still hot around here, I have been lighting a few candles in the evening. Of course they are pumpkin scented .
Gosh ! Somebody left the barn gate open for the top of my corner counter above the sink has chickens and cows galore. I haven't decorated this section for fall yet. Everything needs a good dusting and then a pumpkin or two .
It's Embroidery Thursday.
I will continue working on Boo Wagon.

I do have another doodle for you just in case you are interested. It is called "Fall Basket" . I may have to applique it though.

My little doodles are hand drawn so they are never perfect. How fun it would be for you to turn some of your doodles into something special.
Now I didn't ramble too much, did I? 😂😃 Oh , before you leave , let me show you my " Thankful Thursday" stitch I am working on .
This will be a freebie at some point. I am sure a gobbler or two will find their way into this stitch.
Thank you for spending part of your busy day with me. That means more to this ole' gal than you will ever know. 😘
As always...
Happy Stitching and Quilting, ya'll
Melisa
Thank you for the sweet visit.
A grateful heart is the best kind to have.
Hugs and Stitches!!!!🤗🧵❤
Dedicated to my baby sister, Amy. Love and miss you, Amo
What a wonderful fall display. You sure are an expert in the decorating/arranging department!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteAaah, Terry , you are the sweetest. Thank you so much. I just try to cram in as much as I can. LOL. I guess that is just my style. I really enjoy decorating the tiered trays for the season and seeing how others decorate theirs. Have a beautiful day . Hugs.
DeleteAlways fun to see what you're up to! It's pure joy to visit with you. Sweet displays, Melisa
ReplyDeleteAah thank you, dear Darlene. You are a ray of sunshine! I hope your day is off to a very lovely start. I am hoping to settle down to the sewing machine here shortly and perhaps do some piecing. Happy quilting. Hugs.
DeleteLove your displays - and especially the displays in the making! Boy, Dollar stores have some great decorations, don't they? Blessings!
ReplyDeleteGood morning , Donna and Happy Thursday. I enjoy going to the Dollar Tree just to see what they have. They have a good selection this year. Have a fabulous day and thank you for the sweet Thursday visit. Hugs.
DeleteThe Pinker household is starting to look like fall indeed. Would you come here to my holler and finish my fall decorating? Enjoy your Thursday!
ReplyDeleteLol I am in full fledged fall decorating mode. 😄🍁🦃🎃.Enjoy pulling out all your fall decorations. I bet yours is as cute as a button. Have a wonderful day, Robin. Hugs.
DeleteA fantastic fall display, Melisa!
ReplyDeleteA hug
Good afternoon, sweet Isabel. Thank you so much for the kind words on my fall decor. I hope you are having a very lovely day. Hugs.
DeleteI hope that whoever had left the barn gate open has gone and rounded up all those escapees! Or not, they look so happy to be hanging out with you.
ReplyDeleteHee! Hee! I think the gate is still open because a new cow creamer joined the collection the other day. Lol. I have a thing for anything farm related. Thank you for the giggle , Jenny. Hugs
DeleteIt's always a pleasure visiting with you. Thank you so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAaah , Carol, you are so sweet. I can not tell you how much it means to me that you take the time to visit me. Have a beautiful day, dear. Hugs.
DeleteAlways grateful! Thank you for the new fall doodle! Love the one you're stitching, too.
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, dear Susan. I hope you enjoy the little doodle. Have a blessed day. Hugs.
DeleteI loved the tour of your tiered tray and your Fall doodle is adorable. I bet the cows and chickens were so happy they were able to get through the gate and join the tour party. Your thankful Thursday stitch looks like it will be joining my pinker pouch. Happy Thursday stitching my friend. 🤗🧡
ReplyDeleteLol I had a time getting all that fall decor on the tiered tray, but I am glad it is all decked out. I couldn't let the cows miss out. Hee ! Hee! I hope you enjoy the latest doodle, dear Patti. Have a blessed week. Hugs.
DeleteSo many things to love in this post today. Thanks for the Fall Basket doodle. So cute! Bunches of cute chickens and the stained glass rooster is so cool and I want a galvanized tiered tray like you have, too! Yours looks to have 2 levels and I only found a 3 tier on Amazon. I will have to keep looking. I suspect some sort of maybe pilgrim couple in the new stitch? Looks very interesting. Enjoy the rest of your day, Melisa.
ReplyDeleteAaah you are so sweet, Ginny . I am looking forward to working on the Fall Basket . I had high hopes to work on it this past weekend, but I didn't get too. I bought the galvanized tiered tray a few years ago at Walmart. I also have the rectangle one. It is amazing how much the trays can hold. I hope you find the perfect one for you. Oh yes, I am trying my hand at creating some Pilgrims . I worked on them this weekend. Have a great week and thank you for the sweet visit. . Hugs.
DeleteI just love your fall display Melisa!! I started decorating for fall too, I hope I can get to do some new decorations as well. I'm working on Halloween things at the moment, so excited!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Hugs
I had thought about just putting out Halloween decor, but I enjoy the Fall season as well. Maybe I need to mix them up. Lol. I hope you enjoy working on your Halloween crafts , Diana. Hugs.
DeleteI think all those mischievous scarecrows let the cows and chickens out! OK, I'm hooked. I'll go get a few fall decorations out of the basement. I played bandit this afternoon and along with a baggie filled with old sewing supplies (including a thimble that actually fit my finger...DH wasn't as impressed as I was), I picked up a pretty little blue pottery bowl for 89 cents at our St. Vincent store. Not collectible, just plain cute! Hmm, would it make a good perch for the blue saltbox house and some snow folk this winter? Thanks for all the ideas!
ReplyDeleteOops! The last comment was from Kris in WI
DeleteLol I bet those scarecrows did leave the barn gate open. Hee! Hee! I am going to have to keep an eye on those guys. Oh how fun that you found some goodies while thrifting, Kris and sewing supplies at that! Wow on the blue pottery bowl!!! You did make out like a bandit. There is something about blue pottery that grabs my heart too. Have a wonderful week, Kris and thank you so much for bringing a smile to my day. I hope you find more awesome finds soon. I would love to hear about them. Now I want to go to the thrift store. Lol. Happy fall decorating. Hugs.
DeleteSuch sweet fall displays and I already love what you're working on!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to start decorating next week, I hope the weather gets cooler for it.
Happy Monday, Astrid. I sure hope you had a wonderful weekend. I am dreaming of cooler weather too. It has been so muggy here. Thank you so much for the kind words on my display. I had a ball pulling out the fall decor. I hope you have a very lovely week and fingers crossed we will get cooler weather soon. Hugs.
DeleteFantastic fall displays!! Have a great weekend, Melisa! I'm ready for cooler weather too!
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday, Brenda . Thank you so much for the kind words on my tiered tray. I have been enjoying pulling out the fall decor. It is hard to believe it is almost that season. Have a blessed day. Hugs.
DeleteGreat Fall Display, I love fall but won't see too much fall colors here for a great while. Arizona is still in the middle of summer, a little cooler but still in the 100* +. Have a wonderful funfiilled weekend. Hugs from sunny Arizona.
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday, dear Mary. Thank you so much for the kind words on my fall display. It has been a joy to pull those pieces out as I dream of cooler weather. But gosh we are nowhere near the temps that you have. It doesn't seem like fall is approaching with 100 degree temps does it? Wishing you cooler weather and a blessed day. Hugs.
DeleteMelisa,
ReplyDeleteLove, love your tiered tray...You did it up beautifully!! Funny thing...I actually do not have the room for a tiered tray...I did have one but just could not find a place to put it in my Kitchen as it is so small...Crazy, huh??Thanks so much for stopping by and I am glad you liked seeing my storage room...
Hugs,
Deb
Happy Monday, Deb. Aah thank you so much for the kind words on my fall tiered tray. I always enjoy changing it out for the season. I know what you mean about a small kitchen. Lol especially when you enjoy collections like we do. Have a fabulous week and thank you again for the sweet visit. . Hugs.
DeleteCute tiered tray decor. So far, I've lined mine with burlap but need to dig out my fall decorations to add to it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea, Jeanna. I have never thought of adding burlap to my tiered tray. I bet yours will be adorable when you add all of your fall decor. I hope you will share it on your blog. I bet you are excited to decorate your hoosier for fall too. Have a wonderful day and happy fall decorating. Hugs.
