Aren't these things from Martha Stewart wonderful? I am not fond of the usual Halloween decorations, but I love autumnal decorations for fall and for Thanksgiving. I think these would just fit the bill and when I try it with my one lonely pumpkin, I'll be sure to share.
You've been seeing these everywhere and I think they're so cute, too. Just didn't have the strength to core out the polka dots. Aha! Blessed me! I know just who'll be willing to help.

Yesterday morning the phone rang and who do you suppose it was? Barbara! Now getting two phone calls from the UK is just off the charts fun. Barbara has one of those beautiful English voices like Linds'. And she's every bit as calm and collected as you can imagine. As we were saying our goodbyes she asked, "Will you have a good day?" I assured her that I would and now those of you who've been asked will know the rest of the story. ;>
Will you have a lovely Saturday? You'd better!
first photo image: allowed to stand as it provides free advertising and I sourced it good enough. If you don't like it, tell Martha!
I haven't always loved Martha but I do now! Polka dot pumpkins and a call from the UK make me smile :>.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful day to you Vee!
Kathi :)
Great job!!! I so enjoy reading your blog. Have a great Saturday, I think I will go out and have myself one too.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

Love the pumpkins! Will have to try it but no time this year- packing, painting, etc for a move.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Saturday (and Sunday!).
Sue
I have seen them with the polka dots painted on....no carving :-) Have a great weekend Vee
ReplyDeleteVee....talk to the Handyman. I think those pumpkins are done with an electric drill and a round corer bit. I swear you need to do these, or better yet put the Handyman on the task.
ReplyDeleteA call from the UK? I agree, English voices are so elegant sounding.

A Saturday post? I knew there must be something up. Polka dotted pumpkins and trans-Atlantic phone calls are special indeed.
ReplyDeleteWill you have a lovely weekend? LOL
Lovely? Not so much, I will climbing up and down a ladder getting covered in stain while staining the carport structure handy hubby is finishing up as we speak. Tomorrow promises sore muscles. On the up side is a a beautiful day and I will get to spend all of it out of doors! sweet Saturday to you!
ReplyDeleteCalm and collected - that's an interesting observation - maybe you need to talk to Alan!!
ReplyDeleteI'll take it as a word of faith!
Great to hear your voice too. Deeper than I imagined.
So cute!
ReplyDeleteAn observation... I have updated my 'smilnsigh,' a while ago. And the updated post is NOT showing in the Blogger thing on your Side-bar. {11:06AM Sat.}
NO big deal!!!
Just, that I've been reading Bloggers, who are unhappy with some Blog Update Places.
And so, what does this say, for Blogger's job, at UPDATING? If one uses Blogger to find the updating in blogs one follows...
I continue to find Google Reader to be great! And others are coming around to the same opinion.
Just a point... :-)

Hehhh... Blogger *heard me*! My latest post now shows on your Side-bar!!!!! {11:13AM Sat.}
ReplyDeleteWow!!!!! Am I powerful or am I powerful?!? >,-) I sent my complaint out into the Universe... And Blogger heard... And Blogger complied. Wow! -gigggggggggggles-
Miss Mari-Nanci
Thanks for the tips, Miss M-N! I'll be looking into Google reader. BTW, your header is looking especially lovely today.
ReplyDeleteDeeper? Deeper than you expected, Barbara? I wonder what Linds expected... :D
Yes, Suzanne, the carpenter is already looking for just the right drill bit for our Sunday afternoon project.
Paint them on? Penny, that would've been way too easy!
hmmmm visits on the phone with my favorite English gal????
ReplyDeleteMust admit I am a tweeny bit jealous =]
I have been wondering when we were going to see your cute hubby again on the blog...such a sweet guy.
Oh these are so cute! What a great touch they add.
ReplyDeleteAnd, aren't unexpected phone calls the best? Kind of like a letter or card in the mail from a friend when it's not your birthday or any special occasion.
Many sweet blessings!
OT...

I loved these too, but don't really have patience until the first one is finished, so my loving husband bestowed on me a "craft" drill bit, which are used for impatient project.
ReplyDeleteYour voice is perfectly lovely, my friend! Just as I imagined.
ReplyDeleteI was going to suggest that John use an electric drill too - I have visions of splattered pumpkin on the walls for new fall decoration......!
Great catching up with your blog this morning Vee. Love those Martha pumkins, isn't she amazing, everything she touches looks great! Love her ideas and so glad she shares them with the rest of us..
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday, stay blessed!
I love pumpkins and gourds so much. I've not lit my pumpkins yet, waiting till the 30'th...family tradition...!
