Happy Tuesday!
Hello and Happy Halloween, almost! Hope your week was fantastic. I spotted these ghosts and just had to share. I love the warm golden glow that surrounds them.
It’s the end of October! Time flies when you are having fun, I guess.

Birthday
While we have been back here at our Winter Home, I have been busy settling in. Since my hip isn’t at its best and I’m a bit older, I find that things just take a little longer these days. The discomfort in my hip can really drain my energy, but I keep pushing forward. I did have a Birthday! Another year has gone by! I’m glad to be here and thankful for all my blessings. I’m happy you’re here following along too.
Our salads were delightful.
Thrifting
We enjoy going thrifting and antiquing. I found these sage green plates and chargers at the thrift store. Now all I need are some Green glasses. I have some at the summer home, but they won’t be of any use to me, being so far away. I will also be looking for copperware or silverware with wooden handles to complete this table setting. I love the hunt!
I also found this cute little ghost mug while on our shopping extravaganza.
I’ve found myself enjoying my fall mugs more this season. I guess it’s because I didn’t do as much fall decorating at both homes this year, since we came back early to AZ for my pre-op appointments. Plus, l’ve had some fun moments on Facebook sharing them with my friends.
Tomato Servers
Not too long ago, I shared one of my tomato servers with you, and since then, my collection has grown quite a bit. I’ve made a fun bouquet with them, and I look forward to adding more. Along with the servers are the small Bon-Bon servers.
Our Skies this Week
We appreciated some truly incredible sunsets and sunrises this week.

Your dish collections always amaze me. The tomato servers are fascinating. My mother had one of the small ones that she used for cranberry sauce at the holidays. I can imagine your pulse quickens at an antique shop sign. Best wishes for your upcoming hips surgery. Hope it goes smoothly and you recover quickly.
Thank You Judy! I plan to recover quickly as well.
And yes, tomato servers are called cranberry sauce servers as well. And yes, I love a good antique mall where the prices are great.
Thanks so much and Happy Halloween!
These are such lovely, uplifting posts! Wishing you all the best with the hip surgery.
Thank you my friend! Always so good to hear from you! And I sure hope your Anniversary was wonderful.
Happy Halloween!
Good morning Nancy! Beautiful photos as always. It looks like you celebrated another trip around the sun perfectly. I hope your birthday was wonder-filled. I pray that your hip replacement will go well and in no time you will be pain free and enjoying all the things that you and Sweet Man enjoy!
I thank you for the prayers dear one.
I plan on a quick and speedy recovery!
Thank you for the Birthday wishes and Happy Birthday to you as well! 🥳💐
I hope your hip surgery coming up will alleviate that discomfort in time. Three cheers for still pushing on! You’ve had some great fun — and some terrific finds. Love your servers, those are gems. And very cute seasonal mugs, too! What a pretty table! Yes, I need some new glasses too. This post made me smile! And thanks for your visits, too! Happy week!
Smiles are the best and what I wish for!
Thank you for the well wishes.
And thank you always for the visits and sweet words.
Happy Halloween!
What a great Halloween week you had, Nance. The ghostly glow photo is superb!
I thank you Mr. Mark! I like those ghosts too!
Happy Halloween!
What glorious sunrise and sunset photos Nancy…they are certainly something to be thankful for…I have always been in awe of these beautiful occurrences and try to observe them each day if possible. I love your tomato and bon bon servers collections. I am currently “cleaning out” cabinets and closets for the keep, donate, and toss baskets… but alas, It is almost a losing battle because I end up keeping most, donating few and tossing even less. The good news is I can wipe down the surfaces and wash the strange film off drinkware that seems to occur for no apparent reason,…and vow to use the pieces more. I do enjoy my collections. I smiled at your cute ghost cup…luv him. Enjoy your pre-surgery time…I’ve been there and it can be a struggle but with your strength…I know you will persevere and Sweet Man will be your rock. Prayers and Blessings always

Thank you Kari for the well wishes! I am ready!
And we do love our collections, don’t we? Thank you always for all the live and prayers.
Have a fun Halloween!
Lovely images!
I love flea markets as well. I miss the Dundee crocks! It just doesn’t seem the same in glass jars.
I agree! Dundee crocks are wonderful.
Thanks for the love!
Happy Halloween!
Happy birthday again and wishing you a better hip when the time comes, Nancy. What a lovely post full of beauty! The ghost scene is strangely beautiful! Of course I always love your collections. Arizona’s fall/winter sunsets and sunrises rarely disappoint. Have a a fabulous week, my friend!
Thank you Terri so much for all your visits and sweet comments! I appreciate you!
Happy Halloween!
Oh what beautiful Sunrise 🎶 Sunset photos!! And such a wonderful month to have birthdays in…belated Happy 🎉 Birthday wishes…
Sending you speedy recovery wishes with your hip replacement surgery, Nancy…you are such a delight and so positive and strong (active) that I’m hoping your recovery goes very well.
I really liked my Physical Therapist following hip surgery and learned so many helpful things…wishing that for you too. Thanks for such a beautiful post.
Thank you for so many kind and uplifting words. How nice of you!
Thank you also for the birthday wishes and well wishes. I am ready for a new hip!
Have a Happy Halloween, my friend!
Nancy, thanks for sharing your beautiful October with us. You had many happy special moments. Here’s hoping for a successful hip surgery and a quick recovery.
Thank you so much Beth! It was a wonderful month!
Happy Halloween!
Great post! I sure love seeing the world’s beauty through your eyes each week! And happy birthday month!
Thank you, Lenore! How kind of you! It was a great month!
Happy Halloween!
Your pictures are amazing! Both the ones of nature and of your stunning collections indoors. I really enjoyed them all. I also love the quote about time flying and the pilot- I’d not heard that one before but it’s true :). Good luck with your upcoming surgery. It does not sound fun but hopefully you’ll have better movement and be pain free afterwards.
Thank you for the visit and kind comments. How nice of you to stop by and spread cheer. Please come again.
Happy Halloween!
Happy Birthday and Happy Halloween, Nancy. Your sunrises and sunsets are stunning!! I have a tomato server and also one of those mini ones that belonged to my beloved mom. I didn’t know the name of them, but I love your bouquet collection of them!! Your thankful list is beautiful, also. Prayers for you for your upcoming surgery. 🙏🏻
Thank you, Kitty! I am so glad you have a tomato server and a Bon Bon server. And what treasures they are, as they are from your Mom. Thank you for the Birthday wishes and well wishes and prayers. I am ready!
Happy Halloween!
So much to be thankful for! I love your lacy outfit for your birthday lunch. I’m glad you are able to get around and have some fun despite your pain.
Thank you so much, my friend!
So good to hear from you!
Happy Halloween!
Welcome back! ❤️. Sorry for your pain. Hopefully your hip operation will fix that. I know my husband felt much better after his. I love thrifting too, although I don’t look for the same sorts of things as you do. Looking forward to seeing you soon and hearing more about your summer. Happy belated birthday.
Thank you Janet! It’s good to be back. Looking forward to seeing you soon. And thanks for the well wishes!
Happy belated birthday wishes! Your thrifting adventure was a grand one – love the plates!
Thank you, Mary!
Oh my! Belated birthday wishes, dear Nancy Lou…and I’m sending extra love in advance of your hip surgery. But…from what I can see, your hip isn’t slowing you down much! Love the pics, as always, and your thrifted GORGEOUS green plates? So good! Thanks for taking us along. We’ve had very few picturesque sunsets lately…yours are spectacular! xoxoxo! 🥰
Thank you Vicki Lou! I had a wonderful birthday. And I am so ready for this new hip! Thanks for all the love, Vicki Lou!
Happy Halloween!
Sending loads of love! 💝😉💝
Everything is lovely and fallish, Nancy! The ghosts in the trees and mugs are too cute. You both look terrific! Happy Birthday! Take it easy in preparation of your surgery. 🍁❤️🍂
Thank you Mitzy! I had a wonderful birthday! I am so ready for this new hip!
Thank you always for your sweet comments!
Enjoy your Halloween!
Happy belated Birthday Nancy. Love your sweet collections. That sunset is gorgeous. Good luck with your hip. Getting older does take it’s toll on us. I am happy to feature your sweet post at Love Your Creativity. Hugs
