The Turbin Squash in the corner came from my garden. I love the colors. They’re kind of small, but for a first attempt and a really cool summer, I think they’re pretty slick.
The buggy is ready for the season.
I made the wreath hanging in front. If you look closely you’ll see it’s made from old Barbed wire. Safety note—I used gloves when working with the wire, as I didn’t want rusty pokes. My bicycle has moved to the light post.
It was surrounded by Chrysanthemums until the deer had a feast one night.
Yesterday I received a surprise in the mail – an awesome Quilter’s Angel holding a thimble.
It was a “hug” just when I need it. The fabric is fat quarters from Buggy Barn’s newest line. Thanks again Karen. Your kindness will be truly remembered. I hope to pass it on to others….
Gratitudes:
Angels – both the “Quilted” and the “Quilter” ones
A good night’s rest
The weekend ahead

WOW...love the photos and decorating ideas! Also...got a fun little giggle about your deer feasting.
I was just thinking of your buggy yesterday and wondering if you had decorated it for autumn (we were talking about halloween decorations at work) - it's such a great feature.
It is looking so festive at your home. Dianntha
Oh Mel I always love your buggy! Enjoy your weekend.
I love seeing how you decorate; the buggy is adorable! And you deserve the treat from Karen, too. I hope you have a great weekend. Let me know how the quilt shop trip was when you get a moment.

They look lovely! I haven't done those 2 yet. I decided to skip to the big fat basket full of pumpkins! Everything looks so ready for fall!
Hi there! Say - I recognize that light house!!!! That is ST. Joseph! How cool is that?! Except now I am going to wonder who Karen is?! I wonder if I know her!?
I don't know if you remember me or not, but I was the one whose son was going to Michigan Tech...... and I think your son was about the same as as mine..... Mine is now living in Tacoma and working with websites/computers, but his "girl" still lives in Houghton, so we shall see if he moves back a little closer to home soon!
I am always impressed with all the quilting you do! You get an amazing amount of things done! You decorate beautifully, your house looks fantastic, and then you get quilts made - I get tired just thinking of it!
Anyway - had to drop a line when I saw "my" lighthouse, hope you and yours are all well, and cozy there in the U.P.
Hugs from "southern" Michigan - Diane
I love the buggy and the way you have decorated it for the season - and your bike is wonderful, too. My outdoor decorations are so simple but at least they are out!
Enjoyed seeing the blocks you're working on.

I just found your blog for the first time and LOVE IT! I'm from MI also (Charlevoix area). Your buggy is such a nice decoration. We have a hay rake in our front yard, but then we built in an old hay field so that suited.
Hope to visit your blog more now that I know it's there :)
