Fall Las Vegas Trip

A Fall Thanksgiving Garland - add tags with note of thanks each year-
 has leaves made from hymnbook pages and copies of vintage Thanksgiving cards
Empty frame fills out visual space without feeling too "heavy"
Love the white painted mantel
Artist's drawing nook with supplies contained on a trays and in old cheese box
Blessed by a cross collection
Laura D. Schumacher original pottery bowl  filled with gourds
A collection of "family" pumpkins with an unframed botanical

Original Laura D. Schumacher watercolor-- a reminder of East Coast Fall days
A new home with large walls to fill-- used Thrift store black and white prints and added "size" by placing them on canvases covered in free Donghia fabric swatches
Fell in love with this "pin" and made our own version- we sewed strips of burlap,
onasburg and unbleached muslin onto oatmeal colored felt.  Ohhhh

Thrift store candles painted with Mod Podge and rolled in Epsom Salt.
  Who would have thought- such fun.
 Time to catch up with an end of October visit and a football game, good food, some shopping, thrifting,and worship. Fun to see the style develop when the lack of funds spurs creativity. 
Denninger style is morphing into Schumacher style-- but with a Big D!
