Fall Craft Ideas: {Primp} - Altered Book Pumpkin

After my fall link party, I had so much fun going through the crafty ideas, and appreciate everyone who participated!  Here is my first feature from {Primp}.  I love how she used a book to make this cute craft!  It's a thrifted book, some glue, and a twig for the stem. 

Head over to Michele's blog for a step by step tutorial!

October Market & Another Show!

Hello!  Well we wrapped up our last market of the season on Saturday.  It was a cold day, but it turned out to be beautiful! Here are a few pictures from the day...

I also wanted to let you Flathead Valley shoppers know that this coming weekend, there will be another really fun show put on by some of our vendors!  Here are the details:

Sat., October 23, 2010 at the Stillwater Grange hall at 1810 W. Reserve. 

 The hours are from 8am to 4 pm. 

Some of the vendors are Born in a Barn, Renew, Vintage Cabin, Corrina Bella.  There are many more vendors and wonderful items there!  

 The building is heated (This would have been wonderful Saturday!) and should be a great place for a sale.

Sue from Renew sent me a few pictures....I wish we were going to be here for this one! Try and make it down if you can!  These girls are so much fun!

Aren't those the cutest dog feeders?!

My New Kitchen Table

I never thought I would retire my farm table to the breakfast nook in the kitchen.  Ever.  I have loved that thing (And still do) since I found it at the Vintage Barn Show. 

Last night changed all that for me though.  About 2 months ago, I was going to a garage sale and on the way there, I noticed a table and chairs just sitting outside in someone's yard.  The chairs were laying on the ground and it looked like it hadn't moved for a long time.  I tried to forget about it since no one was home, but last weekend, I stopped and put a note in the mailbox.  Last night, the owner called me and said I could have the table and chairs for $35.00.

I tried to act cool but as soon as we pulled out of the driveway I went crazy with "YAHOO's" and "WOW WOW WOW's" and I think I even punched Tanner in the arm a couple of times!  He's totally used to my craziness.  Without further ado, my new kitchen table.  I love love love love love it!

I'm now on the hunt for some vintage French grain sacks......anyone have some for cheap????

We have 2 chairs with cane, 2 chairs without.  2 chairs with both finials, 2 chairs without.  I think I'll replace the ones without cane with some thin wood covered in tufted fabric.  It's already distressed so perfectly!

We also scored a free vintage camper yesterday....baby blue and silver...but I'm saving that for another post.  Make sure to follow on Facebook and Twitter for picture updates!

Fall around the house....

Took a few pictures inside today.....I just love Fall.

Don't forget to link up any of your Fall projects, decor, pictures, etc. on my post HERE!  I'm choosing 5 people to feature after it's done!  Open until Friday. 

Enjoy your Monday!!

 

Fall Fun Link-Up!

Twig wants to see your best Fall or Halloween photos! It can be something simple and small and crafty... it can be a spread you did for a Harvest Party, it can just be a fun Fall picture you took!  It's up to you and your creativity. I will keep the link up open for a week, and at the end, will choose 5 people to feature on Twig!  I can't wait to see what you come up with! 

Oh, and make sure to grab a button for your post or page to say you're participating to help spread the word!  Also, just link to your specific post and not your main blog page.  Otherwise, people won't be able to find the fun stuff you did!

Easy Autumn Decor Idea

Or should I say...CHEEP.  haaa.  While further investigating the old chicken coop out on our property, mom and I found about 9 old chicken feeders of various sizes.  We had already been painting, so we decided to try out a little idea...here's how it turned out! 

I will be selling these at our next market, and hopefully I can find some tiny white pumpkins as well as the orange!  C'mon Montana!

I think I'll leave the next one galvanized instead of the black and see what it looks like.  This cost me a can of spray paint!  Woohoo!
