Went to Cane’s to pick up these plushies and saw the tree has the leg lamp shade as a topper. *chef’s kiss*

The Decor Pikmin update dropped for Pikmin 4 / Pikmin Bloom. That's exciting! I haven't played Pikmin 4 in two years and now have to relearn everything because I have no idea what I'm doing or how this crossover works. That's bad! Ah well, let's go!
Pikmin 4 screenshot showing a Yellow Donut Decor Pikmin. Dingo says to the player: "Check out this photo. Look closely... You can see that strange-looking Pikmin, right? Clear as day! Well, sorta."

One of the “beautiful things” - this Hershey’s animated snow scene my husband and I picked up at Hersheypark over the summer. It’s fantastic.

Last year, I used this large space behind my desk setup for two large Disney Christmas houses. This year, it’s ceramic trees, nutcrackers, and other beautiful things! 🎄
An assortment of lit ceramic Christmas trees and other decorations, many with “nostalgic”-style lighting. They are displayed along with a large snow globe with a red house inside and multiple nutcrackers. The scene is viewed from the far right side at an angle.

I deleted my Animal Crossing save months and months ago with the intention of starting over but I never got around to it. With the new update coming, I’m jumping back in. I got Pashmina and Alfonso as my starting villagers. They’re new to me!
Timmy says “Ah, perfect timing! C’mon! Let’s all board the plane together!” while at the airport counter in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. The player, Pashmina, Alfonso, Timmy, Tommy, and Tom Nook raise classes of orange juice near a campfire at night in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Keep in mind these rides are themed like this all year, not just during Halloween / Thanksgiving. Love it.
Halloween-themed wave swinger ride. Thanksgiving-themed tilt-a-whirl at night. The vehicles are shaped like turkeys. Halloween-themed wave swinger at night. It’s lit with purple, orange, and neon green lights.

Scenes from Holiday World. The park has areas themed after Christmas, Thanksgiving, the 4th of July, and Halloween.
Four costumed mascots on stage at Holiday World amusement park. One is a dog dressed as a ghost. One is a black cat in an orange tutu. One is an eagle dressed like a jack-o-lantern. One is a crocodile dressed as a skeleton. A train climbs the lift hill on a wooden rollercoaster called The Legend. The ride’s logo is seen on a building in front of the lift hill. A coaster train with cars shaped like gravy boats goes through a tunnel designed like a can of cranberry sauce. A grandmother animatronic points a zapper at guests in the queue for a ride at Holiday World.

Spent the morning antiquing / thrifting and at one point felt like I was in a Hallmark movie. A brick street and everything!
Downtown brick sidewalk lined with fall flower arrangements, garden planters, and short trees losing their leaves. The street is also paved with bricks.

I have multiple copies of A Christmas Carol
(a collection just sort of happened), and today I found this beautiful copy at Half Price Books. Looks like it was originally sold at Barnes & Noble in 2013. The gold and silver are embossed. 😍
A Caucasian woman’s left hand holding a large book titled “A Christmas Carol and Other Christmas Stores” by Charles Dickens. The book is red with a gold and silver embossed Christmas-y pattern on the cover.

I am currently being judged by this Pidgey on a street light. Probably upset I just made a guide about finding his cousin in Zone 1.
A Pidgey perched on top of a street lamp with two connected buildings behind. It’s raining and the Pidgey looks very judgmental.

I was not loving the starter outfit or hair in Legends Z-A, but now I’m thriving as a fall girlie.

Went thrifting this weekend to look for some vintage embroidered Christmas hand towels for a new shelf my husband hung in our bathroom (also thrifted). I found one, but also came across these adorable pumpkin ones for Halloween! I don’t decorate much for spooky season, but these are great.
Wooden shelf with two towel rods. The shelf has a wooden basket with an orange hand towel draped over the side. The towel has an embroidered image of two stacked jack-o-lanterns and leaves. To the right, a small rubber duck with an orange bill and a pumpkin hat. Below, a matching towel hangs on the upper rod.

I befriended Lumiere and Cogsworth and bought the Halloween castle skin and and and… I just love this game so much. 🥰

I’ve got my pumpkin pie spice Frosted Mini Wheats and coffee with pumpkin spice creamer. Now I just need the weather to turn to match (it’s still in the 80s around here and ugh 😩).

This @corsair.com keyboard is probably the prettiest keyboard I have ever seen (I had a landline phone just like it as a teen that I would love to have back), but it doesn’t have a 10 key and I have to have a 10 key! 😭 www.bestbuy.com/product/drop...

Received a big box of Puzzle Quest sugar cookies from @505games.com. Between Puzzle Quest: Immortal Edition and Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted, I’m loving this wave of nostalgia we’re having right now.

Decorating isn’t my main focus, but I put together a cozy fall, bookish plaza area in Disney Dreamlight Valley that I’m pretty happy with.

On today’s “Craft Time With Brandy,” I just finished my first cross stitch ornament using a kit from 1989 that I found at a yard sale. I accidentally started the pattern too close to the corner, so the swan sits off-center in the frame, but I’m happy with it!
A sealed Christmas ornament counted cross stitch kit showing the finished swan cross stitch design in a round green ornament frame with a red bow at the top. The pattern is of a white swan that has a green wreath with red berries and a red bow around its neck. A piece of white counted cross stitch fabric with a partially finished swan pattern sewn into it. It’s sitting on top of a small pattern card. The copyright information of “1989, The New Berlin Company” can be seen on the card. The finished swan counted cross stitch pattern inside a round green ornament frame with a red bow tied on top.
