Gettin' ready for the ghosts and the goblins and the witches.....

All I need are the treats and the brew.
But, I know better than to stock up early.
Decorate early. Buy candy and extra wine just in the knick of time.
Yes, I play it safe......

Yesterday, after working in the morning, I took a little jaunt to meet up with my dear friend Rene for lunch and to visit a new store that opened in Pittsburgh....Home Goods. Whatta jaunt it was. After waiting 90 minutes just to get in the store with some very fun women, we found ourselves surrounded by the most amazing home decorating items at very affordable prices! We were gaga with excitement.
Sadly, there was also a 90 minute wait for a shopping cart and a 2 hour wait to check out. So, we decided to just walk around to ooh and ahh and get some inspiration. After close to 2 hours of soaking it all in and making lists about all the wonderful things we wanted, we decided it was time for some more inspiration---aka.....Happy Hour. So, we made our way out of the store and headed straight to a little bistro to share some cheer and chatting. It was just what I needed to fuel my soul before going home to put the finishing touches on October in Judiland....


Yes, that's the Steeler's game on....I finished up the decorating and cooked up a late dinner while Carmen watched football. Such is October in Judiland....







It's hard to believe it's Monday once more.

It sounds like you live is such a cool area with all your nice restaurants and "bistro's". I wish we had that.

Anyway, happy fall and your house looks great!

I can't believe Pittsburgh never had a Home Goods store. I agree with Jill...you'll be hooked. I sure am!

Everything looks amazing! Great job!
