A Halloween Throwback: DIY Vintage Pumpkins

the pumpkins, but now with black outlining around the features

TikTok made me do it! A few weeks ago I saw Sierra L Miller’s Tiktok where she purchased this wooden blank from Michael’s and used acrylic paint to give it a vintage Halloween look. I couldn’t resist. I miss the…

Adorable clay ghosts!

a shelf with a you've got mail print, a ceramic pumpkin, a fake plant in a pumpkin pot, and two DIY'd clay ghosts

A while back I had pinned a trio of ceramic ghosts that I wanted to buy from Etsy. They were adorable. When I went to find them, instead of going back to Pinterest (to be honest I forgot I had…

Our Christmas Village

Christmas village

Yes I’m writing about the Christmas Village in March. The Friday 5 jogged my memory and who knows if I’ll still be blogging regularly in December. Listen, if I were actually GOOD at blogging I’d be rolling in influencer cash…

Halloween Decor 2021

I hate fall but I begrudgingly admit to enjoying decorating for Halloween. If you have a giant ivy pit in your front yard, put some foam graves there! And a skeleton. This year the graveyard expanded past the walkway. Don’t…

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)
