Your Hand Shall Lead...

Photo taken while I was walking past an amazing horse farm in our area.

I am so glad I am being led and guided by a God 

 who knows all and sees all.

I can only trust Him....

Local Fall Decor...

I've just discovered a sweet local restaurant (B&B too!)  

In my recent visit - I enjoyed all the Fall decor.  

Allow me to share some photos with you...

 Inn 422 is located in Lebanon, PA in an old historic house.

 The  porch was a'flutter with Fall...

 

...and inside - the mantel where we ate was breathtaking...

 The sweet owner invited us to tour the house -

 even inviting us into their kitchen.  

This kitchen is used by the waitresses, etc.

  They also have an adjoining commercial

 kitchen where the main cooking is done.

Patio dining anyone? 

Maybe next summer...

I hear their Christmas decor is just fabulous - 

so I'm thinking we'll be returning in just a few short weeks!  Stay tuned!

Your Kingdom Come...

  ...The dome of our state capitol building in Harrisburg, PA.  

How I pray each of us would allow God's will to be done 

in our own lives. Changing hearts is how we change nations.

Sweater Pumpkins...

This week I put together a couple of these cuteys 

using an old sweater.  I followed this tutorial. 

   For the stems,  I simply hot glued some Spanish moss,

then a piece of sawed-off twig from my backyard.   
Cream yarn helped make the sections.

 They make a nice addition to my Fall mantel.
 (No - I still haven't painted that old panelling!)

 I put this grouping together in about 15 min.
  I literally went from room to room gathering up a 
few fall looking items and made them work. 
  The basket was a free find that I had just drug home
and was still sitting out.

Same with the tiny faux gourds (altho not quite free - I paid 10 cents each!)
     The lace helps with the darkness of the mantel and 
candles work in most any vignette.  I pick mine up 
at garage sales for approx. 50 cents - can't beat that!

Let me know if you make any sweater or fabric pumpkins.  

They are quick and easy and turn out great every time!

(No sewing machine needed!)

Happy Fall to you!!

Never Forsaken...

Sometimes I just need to be reminded that I am one of 
God's children and as such - He has promised that He will 
always be with me.  Or to put it another way... 
He will never leave me...never!

Do you need that reminder too today? 
Surrender your life fully to Him and enjoy being in His
presence during good times and bad.

My love to you this day ~ Joyce
