Walking the Neighborhood

New Puppy and I went on a lovely walk this morning,
and I took some photos of my neighborhood with my cell phone.


Love this little stoop ~ and this is the side door!
(the front is twice as grand)

The red leaves popped off this white picket fence.


I love that every house in our neighborhood is different.


For the first of November, there are still quite a few trees with colorful leaves.


I love the color of this door ~ should have taken a close up.


This may be the last day of the year to get over 60 degrees!


Isn't this little gnome garden darling?


One of the more stately newer homes that was a tear down.
I should have taken a better photo ~ it is stunning.


Does anyone know what makes these knots in tree trunks?


I might have a thing for yellow houses with red doors.
The red geraniums still looked pretty and the line
of little orange pumpkins is just too cute!



Here is my home decked out for fall.


I found the cool pumpkins in Sandwich, when I went for the last
antique market (boy has it gotten small!)


Pulled this seat-less chair out of my garage (and added a stick wreath)
to hold the white pumpkin ~ it's a big one and heavy!


Used another stick wreath as a nest for over-sized pine cone "eggs".


This little concrete mushroom was an estate sale find.

Hope you have enjoyed my little neighborhood tour.

On another note, I have change my Etsy shop name to
hertofore market








Etsy finally gave us the chance to change our Etsy shop names. 
Mine has been hbgordon since registering as a buyer. 
Funny thing is I just changed the banner and the shop title, 
but not the official shop name, since you only have one time to change
and well, I am not sure about it. So many of the ones I liked 
were taken, and not by other shops, but often by people that as 
far as I could tell haven't bought or sold using their name ~ yet.
So don't go there and take my name idea before I have the
chance to go back and make it official, PLEASE.

Heidi I am so glad you put pictures of your porch on your blog! I really love the way it looks and I was wishing I would have taken some pictures on friday. I'm going to save these pictures for inspiration for me next year!
I love your lovely neighborhood. You're so lucky to have such unique, beautiful homes all around you!
Your new Etsy shop name is really cool!

Hi Heidi, Your home looks lovely for the fall, and your neighborhood is charming. The holes come from woodpeckers. If you have them in your neighborhood, you'll hear them. They sound like little jackhammers. Take care. Love, Penny
