Meet Isabel

My newest acquisition--a handmade felt crow on a metal pedestal/final type stand.
I saw her in a shop window and had to have her. Very Edward Gorey, no?

I have been moving her around in the living room. Not sure where to display her just yet, but she is a nice addition to the fall and Halloween themed decorations I now have arranged around the room.
I pottered around yesterday-setting out the few Halloween things I have and added some bouquets of the last flowers from my garden(and some wildflowers from a walk with Jewel).

So...today's plan is to make some chicken soup with rice(there is a sorry looking carcass of a chicken in my fridge) and some bread (gotta lug out the bread machine) and maybe...some brownies. I am feeling so domesticated this weekend, it's scary!

I like Isabel, she is lovely!;) It looks to me like she standing on one foot, contemplating life.;) I know, I have the same dilemma at times, when I find something I just have to have, then I just can not find where it should be placed. Usually, the place I had planned in my mind initially turns out not to be suitable at all in reality.;)
Enjoy you domestic Sunday.;)
(I missed your Friday Fill In this week;)))

Isabel is a pretty crow. It seems an unusual combination of felt and metal but it works very nicely. I would display her all year round. I like the piece of art behind her.

It's nice to feel domestic every now and then, and your chicken soup with rice sounds very good.

Very nice find.

Now I have the song "Chicken Soup With Rice" stuck in my head (we sometimes watch the video of the cartoon on youtube at school...)

Happy 3-day weekend. Enjoy the bread!

That's pretty cute. Very unusual but that's what it's all about. Love your decor in both photos and I bet the art in both frames are yours :)

Very Autumnal Isabel is. Perfect for this time of year. I'm taking out my Halloween decorations next weekend.

Erin,
That song was in my head all weekend, too! Rachel knows it by heart and was singing it(we actually still play that CD--Really Rosie-in this house!) Now it is in my head...again. ;-)
