The Mystery Ingredient

~ The Creepy Sprinkles Lab ~

Thank you, Michael Lee!

The Creepy Sprinkles 

were the perfect ingredient

to make this centerpiece sparkle.

Moon Pies

on Sticks

The biggest challenge for me 

was finding the Moon Pies.

Walmart provided the source,

and once in hand I went about 

gathering the other ingredients.

Halloween Inspired Cake Ball Sticks

Orange and Black Icing

Oreo Cookies

Brown M and M 's 

Candy Corn

Ribbon

And the Star .   .   .

~ Sprinkles ~

Southern Living 

provided the inspiration here.

This is such a quick and easy idea

that I plan to use it for other holidays.

I think the possibilities are abundant.

I had fun with this project 

while at my sister's.  

You can read about this 

heirloom table and setting here.

Owl Always Be With You!

If ever there is tomorrow 

when we're not together,

there is something you

 must always remember.  

You are braver than you believe, 

stronger than you seem, 

and smarter than you think, 

but the most important thing is,

 even if we're apart...

I'll always be with you.

~ Happy 99th Birthday, Mother ~

Well over a hundred years old, 

this oak table now sits in my sister's dining room.

As a little girl, my sweet mother and her siblings spent many hours 

playing under their family's oak table.

My sister and I played under this table too.

Little girls pretending or dressing paper dolls.

Oh the stories these old legs could tell 

of family meals through the years

and children at play beneath these old table legs. 

Four generations later, little ones still delight in the magic

beneath the big old square oak table that has been in our family 

all these many years.

In honor of my mother's October birthday, I created a mini

 tablescape on this family heirloom to celebrate the occasion.

A single setting for the

wise matriarch of our family.

This cleverly painted lazy Susan sits atop

the old oak table during the month of October.
Last fall at the annual 
Round Top Antique Market Days,
I came upon a booth full of vintage items
embellished with seasonal decor.

My sister has the collector gene too.

I collect dishes; she vintage 

wooden kitchen items.

I knew she would appreciate 

a few of these charming pieces.

All you DIY girls  

take note of these cute ideas.

Join me Friday for all the details about

the edible centerpiece of this tablescape.
