harvest moon

with the cool weather

my thoughts turn to

autumn decorating

pumpkins, vintage

graphics & treasures

from my shopping

days at

gallery americana

in houston

what wonderful quality

items from this gallery

that brought true works

of art to their exquisite

shop on san felipe

(for all seasons & everyday celebrations)

how sad i was when

they closed

not because i moved

& didn't shop there

anymore, but because

they sought another

dream

happy fall ya'll

after a saturday morning

of antique shopping

i believe that the above

sentiment is absolutely

true

oh, don't you know it too?

wednesday i used this

vintage tiny chair at faithbook

to greet everyone

 the ladies loved the chair

how glad i was that these

photos of Beatrix Potter

were still on my phone

as when shared at the

welcome table

brought smiles to friends

also, Jamie McCallum

did a delightful presentation

about Epaphroditus

she told his story in

the first person

we were all spell bound

a story that captured us all

how blessed we are

to have her lead us

in the study of Philippians

& be on staff at FBCW

faithbook

sack & chat

 nametag table

greeting the ladies

 this little vintage chair

welcoming friends to the

 sack & chat

to

 sit & eat!

 a little peanut butter & jelly

just in case you want to stay

it was fun to share lunches, too

extra chicken salad, a yummy

pan of homemade brownies

autumn candy & apples

but

the best part was

just sitting around talking

with a group of

christian friends

blessed day, indeed

i love this girl!

be yourself

what a gift to be

secure in your

own personality

& talents

it's magical

it's fun

it is

when you use

your spiritual gifts

your God given talents

neglect not the gifts

that are in thee

amen!
