Hump Day Poll: What Takes YOU Back?

In a world that is spiraling down the toilet  ever changing, and sometimes not for the better, there are small things we can do to create little pockets of nostalgia from a simpler time.  It's harder and harder to find things from your childhood and if you do, often they aren't the same.  (I still lament the death of the taste of Chef Boy Ardee boxed pizza mix.  Sigh) But for me, there are a few scents that I can rely on that are still out there.  When we were dating, one of my favorite scents was that spray musk and I was tickled to still be able to find it!  One spritz of it and I'm ready for a night on the town with the teenaged Mr in his Iroc.  I was also happy to find Night Magic from Avon is still available and gives me that same feeling.  My friend got it for me last year and with as much as I use it (rarely to never), I'll have it until I'm dust.  (I did find the solid perfume compact in a bin and still have it if I want to be truly...

Hump Day Poll: Outdoor Appeal

Your outdoor dƩcor right now this year:

Halloween-ish
Autumn theme
Do dead flowers count?

Do dead flowers count?  Sadly, this year I have nothing up.  My vintage Beistle paper decorations got pretty fried in the sun last year so I need to dig them out and put them on the inside of the door for the Mr and I to enjoy.  We never get any trick or treaters, no one is coming over and it's still 80+ friggin' degrees, so why bother?  I'll just wait for Christmas to make an impression.

How about you?  Halloween-ish. Autumn theme, or do dead flowers count?

  1. Well we had a real spider web but I took that down yesterday so I guess we are not decorated for Halloween at all now.

  2. I hung a banner from the Dollar Tree on the front door, haven't even dug out my actual fall decorations.

  3. That door picture is so pretty!

    I decorate for all the major holidays, year round. I have set places I rotate things in the house. I have set days it goes up and cones down. So it is a very quick process. I switched to a 5’ tree, so even Xmas is easy.

    It is all stored in easy to find/use way. Everything has a set spot, no thinking required.

    My biggest help - I went thru everything years ago and only saved what I love. And I made myself a promise - if I don’t use it, I have to get rid of it.

  4. The door is pretty but mostly I see a trip hazard! But I'm a klutz and likely to knock over anything in my path ;)

    As per usual, I have grand decorating plans for Halloween and have yet to execute any. I usually get something up by trick or treat weekend. I did manage to plant most of the mums I buy annually from my friends hometown farmers guild. Those usually stay in their pots clustered in one of the beds. I really want to do some sort of tentacle thing coming out of the ground but haven't gotten farther than a supply list.

  5. Dead flowers definitely count. I have a Pennywise doormat that I just bought, I have ripe tomatoes to pick, and one of my rosebushes looks like it's going to bloom one more time this year. That's about as decorated as I'm going to be, a mix of Halloween and clinging onto the tail end of summer. As much as I love Halloween, I don't do much in the way of decorating - because I'm lazy and I'm bad at it and I don't want to have to take it down after the holiday.
