Happy Halloween

I must admit that Halloween is one of my favorite holidays.  I love that it is just for fun, and no one expects anything from you other than some candy.  We decorate our house and have become "the" house to hit in the neighborhood. 

                                               Mr. Mummy is ready to hand out some candy



                        Spiderweb table runner & an owl for a festive touch on the sofa table.



                                              Bats hanging in the magnolia tree


                                   A glimpse of the graveyard - pre fog machine.


 I hope y'all enjoyed a great Halloween party this weekend.  Happy trick or treating to all the little ones.

Mixed metals and me



                                                A few of my favorite bracelets*


                                    A white & yellow gold ring I bought in Florence.  The Ponte
                                          Vecchio is lined with amazing jewelry stores.

                              

                          An overflow for my bracelets.  Never knew how many I had until the hubs asked about the one I bought on our honeymoon.  So I looked online & thought this was cute way to display them as well as remind me as to what they look like. 



I prefer to buy jewelry & art when I travel.  The bracelets I have are from all over.  Looking forward to adding more to my collection. 


*   Bracelets as they appear:   Gold Bangle - gift from Mom; Tiffany 1837 bead bracelet , Return to Tiffany bracelet  & Diamond Tennis bracelet (he got a motorcycle - now sold) all gifts from the hubs; Gold dolphin bracelet from when I lived at the beach similar , and last a very special one.  Expect Miracles - fundraiser for a friend currently fighting breast cancer.

Sick Day

                        Trees starting to change color.  Love today's Carolina blue sky.

                                                          Parking lot puddle caught my eye.

                                                     Yes, it is fall - look at all those apples.

                                                  Lunch stop - perfect to cure bronchitis.

I'm home from work today, having bronchitis on top of asthma is not fun.   I had to get dressed to take the pups out and then later for lunch & some food for the barren kitchen.  I was tempted to put on a pair of yoga pants, but leggings w/a cute tunic as just as comfy.
