Oktoberfest at the Vixen’s house


deb

Here’s one of the Vixens….Debra.
Her daughter Nicole is the other vixen….
They are the dynamic duo of Maison St Germain online shop.

I was lucky to have been invited to her annual Oktoberfest as well as the one last year.
It’s wonderful the friendships you make through blogging.

Here Debra is wearing her new apron that Dee from French Bleu Vintage gave her.
It went perfectly with what she was wearing, she wore it for the rest of the day.

Her granddaughter Maci

So sweet looking like a Autumn angel.
Debra and Nicole made Fall head wreaths for all the kids to wear.


lisa and daughter


Lisa of Serendipity Chic  and her daughter Sami
which I enjoyed getting to know better. She has a booth at the Elephant Trunk in New Milford that
unfortunately I haven’t gotten to go to much this year.

The party was going strong with great food and plenty of
beer to test out.
All made by their friends  by the way,
but my attentions were distracted by
Debra’s charming property and home.
She just recently put up this small greenhouse that overlooks her slope.

This time of year she has it filled mostly with garden tool and supplies.

I’m sure in the early Spring she is hardening off her tender plants and seedlings.

I can see it would be a great place to run into during a rain shower.

Maybe spending some time sitting down with a cup of tea in the afternoon….
and maybe something sweet.


watering cans


No watering needed much these days……it’s been raining a fair share here.


couch


Inside Debra’s and Don’s home is equally charming.
Her taste leans toward Victorian with a little Bohemian mixed in.

There isn’t a corner where you don’t see a chandelier.
Don is an electrician by trade….so handy to have one of those in the house: )

garden room



Debra loves her plants!

frog


and her collection of FROGS.
Wonderful the way she’s put them all together in one cabinet.

One thing that I hadn’t noticed the last time was her salt and pepper collection all housed
in an old restaurant display case on her island.
