It's been quite an eventful week, hasn't it? Thank you so much for all your kind words of encouragement. They're the perfect reminder of how important it is to keep on creating, imagining and inspiring! Lots of great new stuff next week, especially as we all start planning and preparing for one of my absolute favorite holidays, Thanksgiving! Have a great weekend, everyone, and thank you again!
P.S. Here are a few of my favorite Halloween posts in recent days, all from friends in the blogging world. Keep up the amazing work, and thanks for the shout out!

























Eddie: You were wonderful on TD. I recorded each week to watch with my daughter. I, also, record Martha and that is how I found out about you on TD. I love your blog. You have helped me refine my eye when going to flea markets and thrift stores. Keep the ideas coming.

The only reason that I watch Top Design was I enjoyed you and your sense of style. I also admired Andrea and her loyalty to you and her family. I love your blog. You are a designer a stylist, chef, you do it all. That is rare. You are not just a potter (copying the 50's and 60's)I cannot wait for your next post! thank you

Eddie,
I'm going to miss you on TD, I truly looked forward to seeing what you would come up with next. You are a gem! Blessed Samhain and Happy Pagan New Year too! Just goes to show that there is something to celebrate EVERY day. Can't wait to see what you have in store for Thanksgiving. OH, and the arrangement is top notch!

Loved you on TD, Eddie! I should have realized you'd have a blog, but how do you keep up with everything else you do?!
I'm visiting via Laura's Decor to Adore, she shared your awesome spider doilies, and I"ve been clicking around for over an hour now!

Hi Eddie, I was a fan of yours on Top Design and enjoyed your personality almost as much as your great design! I am sorry that you did not win, but look forward to reading your blog in days to come for inspiration. I, too, am truly passionate about turning found objects into treasures.
Can't wait to see what ideas you have for Thanksgiving. I am hosting a gathering of "50 plus." ~Take care! Rhonda
