My Happy List
Rules:
1.   Grab my delightful button coding for your post above.
2.   Link-up a happy post.
3.   Visit other bloggers and enjoy!



Good morning, my lovelies....welcome to My Happy List, another Autumn Edition!  :D

I hope you're enjoying gorgeous weather wherever you are.

My Happy List

1.   We're loving playing outside right now!  *happy* Our planters are looking so pretty, and they should look good until frost kills them.




We planted some white asters for autumn.





2.   I found these VERY HEAVY little stoneware plates at Pier 1 for around $2 each.  I never find wonderful stuff on sale: I was so happy when I found them!  I think they look like fall, so I don't understand why they were on sale.




Perfect for an afternoon snack of shortbread!


3.   Check out the pretty velvet ribbon in my sorority's colors of turquoise and gray.....so pretty!  Sometimes it's the little things that makes us happy!




4.   Bonnie has been very happy playing outside in the nice weather.  This dog makes me so very happy!




5.   Sunbeams shining through a pumpkin....{happy}  :D




6.   We're VW folks....that's all we drive!  So this commercial makes me smile.  I hope it makes you smile, too!



7.   Yesterday at Church, I was blessed to hear Carolyn McKinstrey speak.  She survived the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church bombing when she was a teenager on September 15, 1963.  Carolyn is such a dynamic speaker, and I will share more about her and her book on Friday.



Please share your happy posts with us!  This is a linky!

Until next time...

Blessings!

  13. Such pretty flowers for our warm weather Fall, I love the first pic with the rusty white pail. I have a similar one that I love. Your stoneware plates were a great find and they do look like fall. Of course the spools of ribbon are so pretty I would never use the ribbon, just display it. Bonnie looks like she wants to help you do whatever it is your were doing! Loved the commercial and the song made me happy...............

  18. Hello!! Oh your planters are just gorgeous. I have wondered where you have been but then realized I lost you on my blogroll. I lost it when I did my switch. Trying to rebuild and remember everyone that was on there. So glad you are well and I missed your happy posts.
