As Fall Falls

First of all, I as SK Sartell am not a witch. But certainly have fun with the season of All Hallows Eve. Here is my contribution to this fun Fall season.

I just took an old pair of pointy toes boots and added tape and glitter. I then used metal painted washers for the shoestring holes and painted the heels white with a chocolate dot.

I searched Pinterest for several different variations to this fun little craft.

An Old West Themed Wedding

Thought and thousands of hours were needed to bring this western themed wedding to a successful conclusion

 A full musical was performed on the specially constructed stage

 I have planned and carried out many a wedding and event but this one was over the top. And I just did the final touches of floral on the three tiered cake and the brooch bridal bouquet.. Boy was I glad this is all I was expected to do..

 A pretty antique cupboard was used to display the delicate chocolate espresso

 and white chocolate cupcakes.

♥ Handmade Gifts ♥

Whether it be for that special holiday or birthday a handmade gift is so much more memorable.

These pretty little wool felt booties were a gift to our granddaughter. I wanted to make something very special with bits of mink and a few pearls I had left from other projects.

White Oaks Dresses For Christmas

Merry Christmas



With the Birth of our Savior and the celebrations we hold dear, I try to create a wonderful setting for the picture over our mantle. The picture stays up all year but at this time of year we cherish it a bit more.

We pray that you all may have a wonderful and peaceful Christmas.

Autumn Leaf Rose Bouquet For White Oaks Fall Season

Fall Beauties

Fall at White Oaks is a world of discovery. These autumn leaf roses are beautiful for all our fall occasions.

Falling For White Oaks

With fall here the need to decorate for the season has struck. It may be I just get tired of last season, but nonetheless I feel the need to break out the pumpkins and fally stuff.

Chillin' At White Oaks Dead and Breakfast

Fall is an amazing time of year in Oregon, The pumpkins are huge and the colors of the rainbow. We start our fall decorating and toward the end of September I put up our 'White Oaks Dead and Breakfast' sign. We are a bed and breakfast and people get a kick out of all the fall do's we do.

I love fall and all it entails. It's the big last "hurah" before the rains start.

Guests are finding some peace and quiet at the White Oaks Dead and Breakfast.

We go all out in decorating White Oaks and I have such great memories of my childhood at fall. Apple juice time. Canning the last of the seasons harvest. Making and freezing dozens of pies.

Just the simple fall smell is a wonderful pick-me-up.
