Friday's Fave Five 11-9-18

 LINK to Friday's Fave Five Host Blog

1. Autumn decorations on the mantle!  First year we've had a mantle; therefore, the first year we've had decorations.  

2. I am doing something new this weekend - participating in a craft fair.  Not really me; not really something I have time to pursue, but a church nearby is having one this weekend and I decided to participate.  I've visited it in the past, and it's in a big gym with lots of atmosphere, so it should be something enjoyable and relaxing.  I've enjoyed getting some things ready for it.

3. My parents gave us the shepherd's hook from their back yard, so now I have more feeders than ever outside the kitchen windows.  Makes me happy.  This little shot is of a female purple finch that has been visiting.  We have lots of house finches, but purple finches are much less common.

4. Productive week at school.  Exhausted by the time I get home, but the paper grading has been under control lately.  That's a bigger deal than one may think.

5. This is a funny.  The teacher across the hall took this as proof why 7th graders need us.  :-)

Your mantle looks nice! I'v not seen that kind of hook before. Good for you for keeping on top of grading. Funny about the last photo. :-) Hope the craft fair goes well!

I miss having a mantle:( They make a house so cozy. Have fun at the craft fair! I used to be part of a group that had a booth each year. It's a lot of work, but nice to be a part of all the activity. That last picture is hilarious.

Hahaha the kleenex box cracked me up. It's something my hubby would do because he hates when the kleenex gets near the bottom and won't stay up in the opening and you have to dig down into it. The stone on your mantle is lovely. Isn't it fun to decorate? I really miss having a mantle.
