The WIndow, and Fall Decor,

 Have you ever seen a window

at a 45 degree angle like the

one below?

These windows are mostly found

in Va. but some other 

New England homes. 

It is called a Witches Window

or a Coffin Window.

It was said that Witches could

not move the broom around in 

such a way to enter the window.

Okay, but there are other windows

that are not a 45 degree angle...

DUH!

Why a Coffin Window? I read it was

to allow a coffin to be lowed

down from the second floor.

Yep, not buying that one either,

why would you have a showing

of someone in a coffin on 

the second floor.

There again, lowering 

a coffin would basically hit the

roof on the way down.

Although these both sound interesting,

the fact is that they were installed

to be able to allow more light in

and better air flow.

So, do you think that a window,

located there, at an angle would

actually make a difference?

I personally have no clue.

 Don't you just love 

reading about folklore and trying 

to understand the thinking behind them?

Course, I love this cause I am 

almost 65 and never heard of this.

Have you ever seen a home like this?

You all know that I have my

own way of thinking, like 

we all do, so this should

not surprise you....

in my mind Sept. means

FALL!

haha

So, I started putting a little bit

of the fall out. While unpacking, 

I kept telling myself, 

"Not Halloween, just fall

stuff"!!

So far, I have done well with 

NO HALLOWEEN.

haha

I bought these pumpkin pics a couple

of years ago at Dollar General for 

five each.

The door hanger, I made

several years ago.

It was made with an oval

frame that I painted,

I found the scarf at Goodwill

and tied it to the bottom 

of the frame, added fall 

leaves and bam, I have a 

cute door hanger.

Every year, as always, there

is new cool pumpkins, 

and other decor.

I have pulled back when in 

a store to keep from

adding to my stuff, for one

reason, I could not remember

exactly what I had. I do have to ask,

how many pumpkins does

one home need?

I threw this together before I headed

to bed on Thursday night.

I have it sitting on the 

edge of the cabinet at the 

entrance of the living room.

The cool part about this basic

pieces is the fact that I 

have used my great granny's 

wooden biscuit bowl.

Love when I can use memories

in my decor. 

I used to be a wild soul,

but now it's more like an

old soul!

Do you use heirloom pieces in 

your home decor?
