If you were EVER to part with that amazing goat on the wall in your breakfast nook, I might even swap you one of my kids for it! (Just kidding, but wow, do I love that!)

Dear Lori, Your farmhouse is beautiful and I love your decorating, especially the group of girls on the mantel! Everything looks so autumnal and welcoming! I love all of your vignettes! Enjoy designing and stitching. I look forward to seeing what you make. I also enjoyed the lovely photos from the Ghoultide show. Your table looked beautiful and so do you! Blessings, Paula

The "girls" look like they're enjoying all the comforts of your cozy home! I just put out my Jack o'Lantern collection, yesterday. The sunshine and falling leaves made today just a glorious Fall day.

You have created such a wonderful home. It looks like a cottage out of a fairytale. Love all your Halloweenies and there is so much to see that I will have to take another your tomorrow. The goat hanging on the breakfast nook wall has stolen my heart. It is fabulous and I would love to find something similar for my kitchen, but it does look like a one of a kind, so I will just stare at your with envy. Thank you for a peek into your creative home.
