LONG POST=MANY PICS!! {You've been warned}
FUN FOR THE KIDS:
I decided at the last minute yesterday that we needed some pumpkins & the kids hadn't been treated to our annual pumpkin pilgrimage for the year. So I picked up Parker from Cub Scouts @ 4:00 and we high tailed it to the Pumpkin patch. The kids had a great time and I spent way to much $moola$ on pumpkins that will be thrown away in due time, but it's tradition so what are ya gonna do?
Anyway we had a good time & at the end of the day we loaded up the Excursion with our numerous pounds of pumpkin prizes.
FUN FOR MOM:
And at this same Pumpkin patch they also have a barn called Old Roses Mercantile (which is always closed when I want to go) and in this barn are all kinds of Fall goodies & crafts.
There is some C.U.T.E. stuff in there and while talking with the owner she said that they take down all the fall stuff after the 31st and the barn turns into Christmas for the winter months!!
I can hardly wait. I also talked with La' owner about making some of my Fabric pumpkins and selling them in her store (she said yes) but that means I have to get some more pumpkins made tonight as the next 2 weekends are her big weekends!!! We'll see, anyway here are some pictures that she kindly let me take inside the store.
Upstairs
The Bath & Body room.
I'm so dying over that green hutch
MORE FALL DECOR: I these awesome pumpkins at our local Grocery Outlet they were only $1.99. I walked out with all they had left which was only 2 of each of these little babies, but aren't they the cutest thing you ever did see! Now to figure out where to display them.
I think I'm turning into a pumpkin whore.
Yes I just said whore on my blog.
That should provide some interesting hits. ;)
Also I'm sorry I've been a bit MIA for the past few days but I've been trying to get my Etsy store up and running.
I'm a little scared to open one only for the fear that I won't sell anything, but I've been stitching up some Fall and Christmas stuff so I'll let you know when that's up and going. Busy Busy!!

great pics I love it all and I am a pumpkin whore too! lol!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great time. Love the pumpkins. Can't wait to see your ETSY store. Let us know.
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for you!! If you make 100 pumpkins I know they will ALL sell! You are sooooo talented! I know this for a fact. Guess what came in the mail today? My AMAZING picture! I can't wait to blog about it (DK has my camera so I can't take pictures of it until he gets back from a father/son campout). Anyway...you are going to sell EVERYTHING you make...in the barn and in your etsy shop. I personally can't wait to buy something myself!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful photos!!! Looks like a fun time and what a cute shop!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos hope you all had a great time! Make lots of pumpkins I know they will sell:) and of course we are all pumpkin whores. I seen a cute pumpkin today with an electric candle in the middle I'm working on trying to make one. I'll try to post next week.

Ah! Are they going to restock the grocery outlet before tomorrow?!! (I'm in LG, but leaving Saturday). Those are so cute! I'll have to check the one in Corvallis.
ReplyDeleteAre you sure you're just a pumpkin whore?? I think you may be a CRAFT HO...
ReplyDeleteYou know I love ya more than my luggage!!!
I'll call you soon!
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm delicious photos....
ReplyDeleteYour store will be empty in no time!! I am sure your pumpkins are gonna fly off that store's shelves also. I found some natural pumpkins similar to yours a few summers ago at Garden Ridge for a penny. That's right, a penny!! I bought at least fifty or so-all they had left.
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine?!?!
P.S. I don't know if you have your email on your sidebar, but if not, would you email me at athomeelise@yahoo.com??
Thanks!!
Elise
Can't wait for the etsy store! Your blog cheers me on as a mom! Thanks for bein such a blessing!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing all your Etsy stuff! They'll be all adorable I'm sure - and they'll sell like hot cakes! Love the pumpkins and patch pics - adorable.

I'm coming to visit you RIGHT NOW so I can go to that store... oh and hopefully I win the lottery on the way so I can actually buy some stuff;)
ReplyDeletegreat shots! I heart pumpkins too!
ReplyDeleteI love all the photos., soooo cute. What's the name of that grocery outlet? maybe there's one by my house. Wishful thinking.
ReplyDeleteso is this the reason you haven't called me back...after i called you back like a week later. wish i had a good excuse like and etsy shop. so excited for your grand opening! WOOHOO!!!
ReplyDeletehow fun you all had. I too love pumpkins, and yes, I spend way too much on the dang things as well. On one of our local tv shows, they showed to clean them with soap and water and then spray them with a varnish, they looked all shiny and pretty and they last longer. I thought that was a great idea. Anything to make a buck stretch further!
ReplyDeleteYour own etsy? How fun! Of course you wil sell stuff. But, if for some reason it doesn't di what you want it to do, you can have a whole lot of presents on hand. Nthing lost. Besdies, if you didn't do it, you would always wonder what would happen if you had. so, you go GIRL! Can't wait to see what else you have come up with!
Fun post to read! Glad you guys had fun! The Etsy shoppe will be so neat!
ReplyDeleteooooooooh, love those pumpkins!! i'm not much of a halloween fan, but i love fall, hummmmmm, how could i make one of those bad boys.....thanks for the great idea!
ReplyDeleteHow could you not sell a ton of stuff on Etsy? You go girl!

ReplyDeleteCongrats! All of your pumpkin patch pictres are awesome! I can't wait to actually make it to one. I love the Mercantile store it looks fabulous. It will be even more so once your lovely pumpkins are prched on one of the tables. All of which I am sure will sell out. Let me know when you get the Etsy store up. I'll be sure to make a purchase. It will be so much fun and I know you will do great! Oh and LOVE the pumpkins you found for a STEAL!
ReplyDeleteWhat finds.......and memories.
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to ask you if you'd be interested in making me a little thingy to email to my friends and family that says we have moved. Of course I'll pay you.....
Oh.my.gosh. Rachel, you made my day leaving me a comment! You are like my blogging idol! THANKYOU! I totally feel like a dork blogging because I don't feel like I have anything great to say...and I don't even know how to put pictures on very creatively...but I am doing this for my girls! My scrapbooks are hopelessly behind, and I thought at least we could remember things if they are written somewhere!
ReplyDeleteThat cute store at your pumpkin patch makes me green with envy! I can't wait for your Etsy store!
I absolutely LOVE that store....what a great one!!! I can't wait to see your Etsy store!!
