Friday Fix Up

The weather is cooler... the clouds have come... Fall is here and I am loving it. I am waiting with eager anticipation for those first heavy, cleansing rains to wash away the last of the Summer dust and sweat. In the mean time, I go to Rite Aide. :-D

All of the Autumn decor at Rite Aide is 50% off already. I don't know why... perhaps they know that normal people wouldn't pay full price for the fodder they are selling. At any rate, I did like this Welcome wreath. I had been looking for something to put on my front door to replace my Spring / Summer wreath.

Have I mentioned before that I love birds and all their accessories? Bird houses... bird feeders... bird feathers... bird songs... bird watching... bird books... wild birds, mind you, not the domestic. I gave up on them long ago. Anyway, there was this cute, okay, potentially cute bit of decor that seemed to call my name. As I held the birdhoused welcome in my hands I envisioned some small woman in China using a precariously sized glue gun, pasting the wimpy leaves, scarce berries, and pathetic raffia bow onto the wreath with as much pride in her work as she could muster.





I decided I needed to give this wreath a home. I continued down the isle and found some fake Fall flowers, also 50% off. I made my purchases, went home, put my little ones to bed, then got to work.
