I'm Back and three cheers for Joanne Fabrics

I've been away from blogging for quite some time.  My last post was a very sad one and I do apologize but my heart just wasn't in it after losing my little soul mate.  The extreme heat we had in Western NY this past summer just took all the fun out of it along with the loss of Miss Fergie.

I'm ready for Fall and I've already started my Halloween decorating.  I'll share that in upcoming posts.  I love Halloween and Christmas because of the creativity and imagination those holidays inspire.  Remember those gorgeous velvet pumpkins we started seeing last Fall in Blog Land, magazines, and Esty?  Well, gotta love those trend watchers at Joanne Fabrics because they have them!!!!  I was so thrilled to find one and at 40% off that I almost jumped for joy!  Here's the one I picked (no pun intended) sitting on an old tobacco tin that I have.  I spent less then $8.00 on it!  What are your favorite Fall/Halloween finds you've snatched up so far this year?
