The Shops of Bandera

 The first week of November, I moved "Brown Baby Bird" into The Shops of Bandera. I told Ron I wasn't sure how this would go, but I am absolutely certain that I can't sell much with my merchandise sitting in my sewing room ;). I am actually writing this post on December 5, so I can say that I had a good month of November there. And when you add in my alteration invoices that I did at home...November was a great month. Anyway... I packed up all of my inventory, made a few more that where in progress, and made some new items for Christmas. Now, all I need is a website. I filed for a domain name a couple of weeks ago. That maybe part of my January projects. 

Other Halloween

 Here are the pics that I managed to grab from Alison and Mike... no others for this year. Halloween wasn't very fun, with the whole "covid thing" going on. 

 

A Lion, A Witch, and a Wardrobe

 Audrey had a PLAN for this year, and she went all out! Costumes for almost everyone...so we got some great pics. Earlier in the day we went to a hamburger place for lunch and then to go ride the small train, around the park near the zoo. Then dinner at Andersons, costume photos, and then trick or treating. (Papa and I didn't go on the trick or treating ;) It is a rare occasion that we go on lunch and other outings with the Petes and Andersons. They usually do those things without us. Maybe when we more closer we will do more of that. 

The Last Week of October

Not sure exactly where this month... or for that matter, this year went. But, we are down to the last week of October. Just thought I would share a few more fall decor pics and the three cat pics. Yep, we are a "three cat family" now. lol There has been a lull in the real estate market for a couple of months (at least in our price range). I can see that we are still getting good "views" and pretty good "likes"...so people are at least looking online, if not looking in person. I have been looking at homes in San Antonio. Since Ron and I were driving in there at least a couple times of week for the past month, I decided it was time to look "inside the loop" ;) and try to find something in there with big trees and a lot that doesn't feel like it's "inside the loop". Well... I found it. Now, just hoping it stays until we sell... but not holding my breath on that- lol. My second criteria on a home in there is a back yard that looks like a park with lots of trees... for Ron and the cats. (Ron won't tell me anything about what he might want. He says he's not making any decisions until he has to.) He is fine without a plan. I need a plan, even if it has to change... so I am "looking". haha

Oh ...and a cute, simple, Halloween treat, that I took to Sunday dinner last night. Served with ice cream and Halloween sprinkles. 

  

Fall is Here

 Fall is here... kind of 😉 

At least a week ago, it seemed like Fall, then last week and so far this week, it still seems like Summer. But, we are hoping the cooler weather will come back. I wasn't going to do any Halloween decorations, because they are all packed up. I may "give in" and get some out, but I at least made some new table runners, out of Halloween fabric that I already had. It is difficult to find Halloween fabric in some of the stores, because the manufacturing got messed up with covid. So here are two decor pics and a fox pic. The foxes have been coming around for the water in the front yard, which allowed me to get a good photo... finally.
