Fakin' It

I'm fakin' it.

Didn't even know it until The Nester pointed it out.

She's helpful like that!

I'm joining a slew of other people who have strong feelings regarding the artificial fruit and flower. 

Please don't feel sorry for us. We are happy in our pretend world.

I have real flowers and  fresh what-nots so seldom that everyone thinks company is coming when I break down and buy the real stuff.

Here's a taste of my fake decorative touches (and after viewing some of these items more closely, I think I need to clean my house and maybe toss a thing or two out):

I bought this little cage for $1 at a garage sale.  It's the perfect place to stick my fall festivities:

And don't look too closely at this little darling --the dust will make you sneeze.

I need a tutorial on floral arranging 101, but here's my best shot:

This is actually a Christmas decoration I bought 75% off at Hallmark.  The red berries and pears make me happy, so it gets to stay out all year long!

Garage sale:  $2  (And it has feathers!)

The only thing fake about this picture is the foliage, because our love is the real thing!

As I searched my house for all the fakes, I started to turn introspective as the apron hanging in my kitchen began to mock me.  

I won't even discuss the look my drawer full of padded undergarments gave me. 

 But when this sign hanging in my living room waved it's finger at me:

I replied, "Don't judge me, I getting there."
