It's the Little Things

Last week the Wool Winder posted some very nice photos of little things around her house that make her happy. And then she asked a question. "What little things around your house make you smile?" Here are my answers.

Now it's your turn. What little things around your house make you smile?

I've always been envious of those who could line up wee pumpkins on the crown molding above their front doors. That antler basket is cool btw.

I do love that antler basket. And, of course, the little pumpkins.

How fun! I do love Halloween and all of the decorations that go along with it. You have some very nice ones!

I have my "scary" witch beenie baby with a scrabble sign spelling witchy poo in front of her...she makes people laugh out loud. I have two small beaded spiders crawing down my miniblind in my kitchen and I have a small concrete hand (birdbath) outside with a small pumpkin in it. That also makes people giggle when they see it. Oh I almost forgot I have another beanie, a ghost and a scrabble sign spelling eeek. You don't have to do it big to have fun.

Love the pumpkins over your door! Very cute!

Love your fall decorations! The wild things around here are so voracious, I can't leave anything even vaguely edible out overnight.

Glad to see the cat in there :) Love the touches of the season all throughout your home. I finally got around to putting out a few things like that. Wish I had a front entry like yours.

It's nice to see all of your fall items. I only have my wreath up and I need to get the decorations down from the attic. The wool looks a lot like hair!

I love the little pumpkins on the top of your door too! Very cute.

What a good idea! And thanks for the reminder to get out my fall decorations!

Time to go crazy with the camera...

What makes me smile? Usually the mess after a day of kids playing with EVERY toy in the house brings a smile to my face. Better to face the tornado with a sense of humor, right?

My, what a lazy cat you have. Reminds me of the one on my couch. I found very early that after a certain age, they don't move much. A parade of mice could be moving through the house, and they still would not move.

How many pictures of Chappy do you want to see? (grin)

Did you wake up Mason to get that photo?

Love the little pumpkins!

I can see why you love those things. They're all so lovely (especially kitty). Thanks for sharing :)

Whose ancestors?? I love the basket too and of course you're already all festooned for fall!!

Posted by: Deb at October 9, 2007 1:25 PM

Love that antler basket. I'd be filling that up with yarn.

The smiling pumpkins and the fiber get me, too.

Posted by: Laurie at October 9, 2007 4:01 PM

Ooooh, what a good one! I'll work on it!
:D
Love all your smiley things. They are making ME smile too!

Seeing Mason and your Pumpkins make me happy! :)

My new couch makes me happy! It's my first piece of furniture that isn't a dresser and it's totally loud and ridiculous. Love it.

The 6 year old boy makes me smile when I get home from work. Most of the time. ;o)

Posted by: Rachel H at October 9, 2007 7:27 PM

Very nice! Mostly it's the dogs and the kiddo around here that make me smile. Oh, and yarn.

Posted by: lisa at October 9, 2007 7:40 PM

What a great post! Your house is a very happy place, and this conveys it so well!

Posted by: Heather at October 9, 2007 9:51 PM

and of course the fiber.
*grin*

Pumpkins always make me smile! Thank you for the smiles! I'll have to take a walk around my house later today and share my special things.
