Yesterday, I had a brunch for some friends and decided that I should set out some of the fall decor I have, and some of the pumpkin bottles I have been making.
I turned a white tussie mussie from Heather upside down and it became a hat for my white glittered pumpkin, I think that is my favorite part of the tablescape.
Sugarwings was in "Extreme Two Year Old Mode" yesterday and EVERYTHING on the table top was her favorite.
That girl was so quick at getting into stuff all day long, that every photo I took of her was a blur.
Am I finally going to have to give in and baby proof my house? I usually just tell her "that is Grammy’s that is yours, you play with your stuff, not mine" but yesterday she was swinging a lamp by the cord and hiding the phone under the bed.
I guess I can’t really put all the lamps and phones away, as well as wrapping my whole home in bubble wrap. She is just acting like she is a two year old and I need to be an eagle eye around her to keep her away from my stuff and directed towards her own things.
Of course, having sparkly witches on the table is enticing for a baby girl.
And she really enjoys playing with these little pumpkins. I do too. We take the tiny crowns off and put them on our fingertips to turn our fingers into princess puppets.
This little witch’s hat was a gift from my Sissy when she was here. She made it herself and it has a jingle bell in the stuffing.
The fairy was a present from my sister, Bobbie Sue, isn’t it cute? And her colors seem just right for a fall display. She’s an earthy fairy. My neice, Shelli also brought me a special gift. A package of Imitrex! I get migraines, and on our insurance the meds are $200 a package, but on hers it is $15. So she gives me her extras. 
Sugarwings and I made more scuply pumpkins yesterday. I let her paint them all herself when they were cooled off, so maybe now that she has her own pumpkins, she will be content to not play with the ones on the table?
No, I am kidding myself there. No such thing as a contented two year old, they want to touch everything they see!
Yet another reason why I don’t use much real glass glitter. I cut myself enough with that lethal stuff, I don’t need the baby getting hurt on it!!
Oh, but now, I am sure you are interested in hearing which one of you is going to get your own hands on a crown? Here are the winners for "Karla and Carol’s Romantic Country Celebration Giveaway"
Thanks for all the comments to Carol about how wonderful her crown and pumpkin ideas are! The name I drew from her comment log to win a crown kit is:
And the winner of a pumpkin topped bottle from my Silver Bella bonus drawing goes to
Bella Wanda.
Now, ANOTHER winner of a pumpkin topped bottle (not this bottle, it is listed on Etsy, I don’t have a photo of the one I’m sending handy).
The Winner is:
Bobbi
But wait, we aren’t done yet! I have one more giveaway to announce!
My Sweet September Prize Pack goes to:
I think I’ll add a little glittered pumpkin to it too.
Remember, I constantly have a giveaway going.
Aren’t they fun? I sure like doing them! I’m not sure what October’s prize will be, but all comments starting today, will count for it.
These are some more Silver Bella creations I am making. Lately, I have been buying trophies, inspired by a gift of a nesting bird in a teeny trophy from Robin last spring.
I have a boxful of vintage automobile trophies that I can’t wait to froof and doodad up.
Before I go and get back to work on my trophies, I want to thank Sara Duckett of Sadie Olive for helping me de-clutter my blog a bit and add my latest magazine covers to the side bar.
If you notice, now the blogroll is on a separate page that you can click on to go and visit.
I spent a little time redoing the blogroll while Sugarwings was napping, but didn’t get very far. I need to organize the rest of the names and add a TON of fun places that I go to. I will let you know as I get more added.
My links have not been exactly true to the blogs I read the most often and I want to add some of the dozens of addictive places I visit!
I WON! I WON!! I WON!!! OH BOY!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! You made my week! Yes, I really am that excited! Karla, you are such a generous and kind person…if I am right about Karma, you are in for a great next life!!! Your Friend, Bobbi
The tablescape is beautiful! I’m sorry you have a little two year old who love shiny things…but, quite frankly, you had to know it would run in the blood! LOL!
Congratulations to the winners! Two-year-olds are fun and you sure have to keep your eye on them!
Lorrie
Congratulations to all the winners!!!!
I always found 3 to be a hard age…
Two is a busy time… Thank god for naps…
Louise
Congratulations ladies! It was fun seeing all your goodies. Love the trophies. Hugs Grace
I just ADORE your Halloween style!
I can’t get over all your creative goodness. I LOVE the trophies! My hubby will kill me if I go into another phase 😉
Nerissa
Okay, then! Congrats to the winners- next month I will be one of them! Honestly, Karla, it is so sweet that you do this. It is a happy anticipation to enter a comment, but the real win is reading about your crafty adventures- both solo and with Sugarwings! I don’t know if this will work with your little fairy, but my little Gollum had a ride-on toy at that age and a little track (a circular driveway) and he could go round and round for quite a long while at that age. Literally, spinning his wheels! But it seemed to help him dispel some of that kinetic energy.
Sugarwings sounds like a whirlwind. I don’t think I could resist playing with those pumpkins either. Hope your day is wonderful.
Congrats to all the winners!
Hi there Karla
Lots of lovelies- and a cute little Sugarwings to boot.
I was just on your favs list and clicked my site, but it didn’t work. You must have my old typepad address. My blog is now at http://pamwardenart.blogspot.com
Thanks Karla, even though I didn’t win…again:)
Hugs,
Pam
every time I come by to visit you I feel like a slacker…girl, you get SO much done, even with a 2 year old acting like a two year old around lol! LOVE the fall decorating you’re doing, love the white sparkle pumpkins…and loved those burlap vases in Somerset Life, too cute!
Pretty table/pretty baby! Anxious to see the links 🙂
Congratulations to all the winners!!
Sugarwings is cute even when she’s a blur. 🙂
~Becca~
What fun you and Sugarwings have! She will have such wonderful memories of her childhood spent at your house. That’s something you can’t even put a price on. Lucky winners, all!
Brenda
Congratulations to the winners! Karla’s goodies are a real treat!!!
You have so many cute things! I love your pumpkins. And Sugarwings is adorable, but I know how 2 year olds can be!!!
Hugz,
Michele
Lot’s of joy joy to the winners.
I’m liking the princess puppets -good memories flowing as i remember playing with my mom. have continued fun froofing and doodadding. happy happies.
love the trophy idea! what do you coat the base with for paint & all the magical sparkley finery to “stick?”
Sugarwings is so sweet, Bethany loves to look at pretties too. 🙂 I never put stuff away but always told her to look with her eyes or to be gentle with her touches. Of course some stuff still got broken but not too many things. 🙂
Everything you showed is so wonderful!! Laurie
I don’t blame Sugarwings for wanting to touch everything; I would too! lol! I love the door in the second picture; it’s perfectly weathered and distressed. I’ve never seen glittered up trophies before, but yours look gorgeous!
Oh Karla
looking at all your stuff is so inspiring!
I love making things with my granddaughters
and that is the first thing they ask when we get to go visit them. Oma what did you
bring for us to make together? Making life long memories is so wonderful.
Great trophies! I love them!
congrats to all the winners

Yay for the lucky winners! I’m sure you get your exercise chasing Sugarwings! The blur picture cracks me up! Pretty much sums up a two year old!
I get migrains once in a blue moon too and I take Relpax….one pill knocks it out in 15 minutes! Check to see what the cost is…but I think it’s pricey too……and I don’t know why that little trophie caught my eye last year but I’ve been facinated with them since! Love all the goods for Silver Bella…..
Congratulations to the winners! I’m sorry I missed it, but congratulations on the 400th post!
That Sugarwing blur is hilarious. I laughed out loud.
Enjoy every moment.In the blink of an eye she will be going to her first dance. This is what happened to my Sweet Sixteen year old. I’m so glad I took lots of pics of my kids so I can reminisce.
Congrats to all the winners. Maybe next month or the next month or the next month.lol
Karla, you are like we each have our very own good fairy in you. I feel better every time I visit your land of fairies, sparklies and all things pretty.
