ViNtaGe PAPER MACHE SQUIRREL VASE...

Waking Up to 32 degree temperatures this morning...  Wearing my Winter Coat/Down Vest for a few days now... Gloves & Hat on-my-walks...   It's feeling more like "Early-Winter" instead of a Crisp Fall Day!*!*!

Yard  Squirrels are B*U*S*Y!*!*!  
A sure sign that Winter/Holidays are just around the corner... 

This ViNtaGe Paper Mache Squirrel Vase
 will stay displayed till Thanksgiving adorning
 the bedside table in our Guest Room...
The Annabelle Hydrangeas 
will remind me of warmer days gone by
 ~ adding just a hint of color...





All Naturally ChiPPy & WHiTe
**Just the way I like it**
Looking at the simplicity of the Vignette
 feels so refreshing...  I'm getting a little tired of all the Strong Fall/Halloween Color I've been
displaying with lately...

Have a great rest of the day!*!*!

I'm drawn to O*W*L*S in the Fall...
~ Especially around Halloween~

Here's Just a *SNeaK-PeeK* of what's

The Old Black BirdCage is Oh Soooooo "PeRfeCtLy ChiPPy", Rusty & Crusty ~ in All-The-Right Places!!!  Although the ViNtaGe Paper Mache Owl is not as time~worn as I would like ~ the color is just FaBuLouS against the Cage's Black Background...

 Crepe-Paper Winged-OWL
being held captive in the Guest Bedroom...  











Although this OWL is a "newer re-purposed creation" ~ it's background is
