Fall Flowers and Halloween Decorating

I stopped at this cute little nursery yesterday to pick up some pansies for the front flower beds. Wish my front yard looked this festive.

Love all the beautiful mums - can I have one in each color? For now I chose this pretty raspberry color but I suspect I may have to go back and get some more.

These orange sherbert pansies are going to look so pretty in the front flower beds.

Last night I got all the Halloween decorations out of the attic and made these creepy eyes for a project I'm working on. Check back to see!

You are The Empress

Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.

The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents, beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.

The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.
