Cozying up the place!

I am so all about the 'coziness factor' here on my 'homestead'.  I had originally planned on going to Walmart today and making a dinner but I really didn't HAVE to go to Walmart and I forgot I had some leftover pizza in the frig!  So, I decided to clean and organize and decorate for Thanksgiving.  I took all the Halloween 'spooky' stuff down and brought out more Fall items.  Here's a look at what I've been  up to today...........I put the orange lights over the mirror....they are now Thanksgiving lights!  I also added some additional items........

a little squirrel that is really a teapot but I never use it as one............

plus some gourds I crocheted a few years back............

On this side of the room there STILL hangs my mini-quilt 'flimsy'....one of these days I'll finish it and go figure.....more squirrels!  I have to admit this is a 'squirrely' house! LOL!

I got the tea set and pieces at Cracker Barrel years ago and the squirrel votive holders I thought were a set but they both face the same way so it doesn't really work...I may have to separate them for their own good.  The acorns are little salt and pepper shakers but again I don't use them for that.

On the other side is the other squirrel and the sugar and creamer......I felt in love with that set and I still love it.......

This leaf bowl I got at the Thrift store for less than a dollar...........

the old sign I got at a sale a long time ago but I can't remember where...I don't pay much for stuff at sales.  If it's in my house it must have been a bargain! LOL!  It is cardboard and old and I love it.......it's also a good reminder for my Thanksgiving guests....especially the part about the bank being closed! LOL!

I haven't cleaned the bottom area of the bookcase so I won't show you that.....I'm not done with this room yet but almost...at least for now anyway.............this is across from the fireplace where I sit when I take my breaks and there is my knitting which would not be sitting there if Miss Peeps was up and about but she is 'night-night' in the basement right now.

The tree is my year-round tree that I put all kinds of decorations on depending on the time of year......I really don't have any Fall decorations to hang on it so I'll have to work on that and there are lights on it but the batteries are dead.........I guess I forgot one 'spooky' decoration!

The candle and holder was from my daughter and so were the botanical 'napkins' but I use them for doilies...........I won't burn the candle as it is too special!

This pitcher I think I got at a college art auction at my daughter's college when she attended there.  It looks old and primitive and I have always loved it.........

ans finally this is where I put my feet up!  Again, it is old and and the top is hand hooked wool.  Those old wool items lasted for years and I still use it daily.............I started hooking wool rugs and dyeing my own wool just before my eyes went south along with me.  One of these days I'm going to get back to it!

I took a bath this morning but I could probably use another one with all the dust I stirred up today! LOL !  But it feels so good to come inside from summer and clean up the house and get ready to be COZY! 

Happy Trails!!!
