Once again into fall.......

On our way into the fall season we go!



With anticipation of pumpkin's, 

planting mums, and baking 

fall treats with a loved ones.

The two planted mums 

gifted to me by 

my husband returned 

and then they were gone.

Simply pleasure of decor

 


Simply pleasure of decor 



Put together vignette.... 

 Decor pieces 

purchased from a 

local store, with 

some collected over time.






Says...kitchen's open

Not for the public.

As always a schedule appointment 
 
is a must.





Candle created in a village long gone, but

never forgotten.  Made with layers of different 

scented wax.  Thinking of each fun memory 

having during the trip.  Very nice.





Best feature of the location.... I would say 

was the chiming wooden figurine's high above

as you walked in the main court.

No return....




NO RETURN





After planting jack the 

giant, an elephant ear that 

had not returned at all 

this season.

Upon inspection of 

the soil deep in the 

ground a mole must

 have enjoyed.






After inspection my partner 

and I discussed replacing

with shrubs

from different places 

already here.

Carefully watched growth.

Creating outdoor accents......






Long term cactus having finally

 blossomed giving us a 

glorious view.

 Details capture.... look.



Update later after the blooms drop.

The cavities are grooved inward

similiar to a bowl.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Fall favorite creation with 

pinecone’s and a planter


 
Wanting to make another giving 

a wintery feel.  

 I like creating 

planter scene's for the outdoor 

area.  In previous post 

making with my partner 

a towering planter with a 

cactus on top.  Still deciding on the 

design to apply.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Posted by:  PixiesTrailCottage            Have a great week!






In a world with so many 

creations hoping to 

add some more

Outdoor creations....


Outdoor creations with old mother nature

🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆



Painting/spray painting combined a face for an outdoor display

adding items we already had.  I can still use if 

needed on another project in the future.

          



With the memory of my dad 

who used to scavenger for items

all over the place, with permission of 

course.  Gives you feel of .....?



Picture taken on a day trip to the beach

a couple years ago.  Longing to head 

to the water for some heat relief.

Hoping to take a hike soon!

Posted by: PixiesTrailCottage    Uniting with nature.





















Center of a park mother nature not waiting

for anyone to grow.  Call of the wild 

in the woods deep starting to grow.

Every step forward past, vast lush hedgerow

lovely little birds flying whilst visible a crow.

Summer hues anticipated




Spring season coming to end 

soon enough when the yearly 

calendar flips for the season

of Summer.  Peeks of 

dragon flies, butterfly,

and ect..... 




Summer addition added to 

the area to brighten

up a neutral background palette.  

Giving the summer 

sunshine a classic. 






Sticker still going strong!!!  

Taking the hobby

of scrapbooking applying 

it to a plain candle canister. 







Hoping for more 

inspiration as I 

view other decor 

ideas during the 

current season and 

upcoming. 




Posted by:  PixiesTrailCottage     


Sunshine!!! 
On the horizon.


















Beauty so vibrant in spring, 

left behind for the warmth

of the next season to begin.

Even spring gave inspiration.

After the weekend......

 After some weekend enjoyment, sort of looking 

forward to the week.  The weather as always 

discussed was mild.  Not to bad...waking today it

feels refreshed again.  


Here's a glimpse......



 

Taking different diameter's of terra cotta pots

with there trays painting them myself with primer.

Beginning of a wanted serene scene on the lower portion

of the planter's.  My partner choose the small cactus to crown

the stacked planters.  They look more portioned in person

verses the photo taken.  Giving us an afternoon date with a 

crafty idea that will lead to another. 

 




Currently while our planter waits in plain primer,

can't wait to see how it ultimately turns out.

Not sure on adding a decal or hand painting.




Posted by: PixiesTrailCottage     Glad for sunshine!!! It's back. 




Before the trim, keep you updated.










Cut florals!!!

Purchased mini rose bush out of 8 this one 

has lasted.  After trimming off the 

tainted leaves, removing debris.

 I cut two stems from my mini plant.



QUOTES:  They say one rose says more than dozen.....

Well I say..... sure does, but looking at photo.  

Says more than the quote.   :)

Cup of tea, with nature

 

Here's a glimpse........



Getting a cart ready for a family event.

Don't mind floors as we have foot traffic. 

Look out family coming through!


 
Collecting new teacups, with matching saucer for two mainly.

Having one large set for the family to 

enjoy during a scheduled event.

These are used on the daily and 

have held up quite nicely.





Posted by: PixiesTrailCottage       Have you smelled a flower?





















Taking my gum ball canister using it to place

my mini rose cuts inside.  Cut by my partner

given to me one afternoon. 




 
Great local purchase!  Would have used a small

vase.....maybe in the future.  




Nature

Sometime can be in the hand, for dedicated forest dwellers

in the heart.  Lurking around some corners four legged

friends to expand the imagination of a willing species

if applicable in there life to do so.

What set's it all apart is there is no place

like the memory card in the cranium 

to compute all that has been seen 

giving the feeling nature gives you to

place in your heart.

Get off you caboose take a walk in the park.

Celebrations

A Day of Celebrations



Waking this morning poking our heads out the 

front door to feel how humid the weather was currently.

Already having the smallest egg hunt in our family ever in our front yard. 





A wreathe I placed above my baker's rack with item

we used daily.  Enjoying the springtime colors.

Finding new teacups, mugs at a local store quite some time

ago.  









Teapot filled at times with hot green tea, biscuit/cookie jar

to keep your plate saucer side treats fresh until chosen.

My partner adding a small crock pot!  Great addition.

Sorry for any dust bunny's we are currently in the middle of

Celebration's!








Posted by: PixiesTrailCottage                 Hunting?

Spring school house update

 

SPRING SCHOOL HOUSE UPDATE


Having had my school house for quite some 

time,  I had with my child whom has grown into 

adulthood.  We are still enjoying and I made a decision to 

keep whilst decorating for each season with what's on hand.




Coming up with the school name including my 

age at the time.  

Here is a glimpse.....





New set of washi cupcakes ready for springtime!

Some thrift store finds back in 2017 era. 


Sadly the tools on the bench my father gave me as

a young lady has changed.  I am keeping what is there.

Too bad on the switcher of the item.  



Posted by: PixiesTrailCottage   Did you find your hop? 





After some thunder, followed by a little lite rain 

my sign from a favorite local store is looking a little

grim.  My panels need to be cleaned on a warmer day

soon to come.  Using what I have had for over four years I

added a pop of carrot hues!!!! 








Good reads:   What have you chosen for your

                       springtime read?   The Book Thief.

One bunny, two bunnies, more bunnies for decor!

 

Can you not get enough of the bunny decor to adore!

I can't!!!!  Spring is here, decorating with all the bunnies

collected over the years refreshing an area left bare after the

last holiday!  


Here's a glimpse........



This is part of a collection of hand painted

bunnies gifted to me when i was in my late 20's.

Placed this one on a baker's rack, I am currently 

using as a drink station.






This is one of my favorite!






Whether you have a large or a small 

collection of bunnies, if applicable.

Some people don't like them.  

My collection during a 20 plus 

span over the years.  I hope to enjoy them this 

season into the summer!!!!




Posted by: PixiesTrailCottage    How's your hop displaying?












What's cooking up in your kitchen?

After the eye spuds peeled and boiled, 

on to the next recipe.

What is your favorite springtime dish?

Cook it!!!!!!



Don't sit there waiting for the water to boiled,

Set a timer!

Has spring sprung? Ask the daffodils.....

 


Has spring sprung? Ask the daffodils............



Upon looking around the perimeter, 


coming upon a batch of mini daffodils.


Was a delight even with the high winds


and heavy rainfall all through the night.


Much to my surprise looking ahead standing


tall were flutes ready for springs arrival.




Taking a cart purchased from an online


store and repurposing the use.  I decided to make


a kitchen portable on wheels mobile surface.


Easy to clean, just the right height to deliver


two cups and a snack.  In a clear vase from a local store, adding a pop


of mother nature's mini beauties.




Grabbing a gold coin flipping into a small black bucket.


Earning a piece of Irish Soda Bread if I had baked.


Adding some enjoyment to an already delightful visit


for a future gathering idea.




Posted by: PixiesTrailCottage       What's your limerick?





Spring wreath gifted.






Never to near the dusty shore, trailing

quietly within a line side by side.

Glaring ahead thinking of Great Grandma's

irish soda bread.  Was there a pot of gold 

beneath that rainbow up ahead?
