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.”

At least you are ‘keepin it real’ in the areas of life that really matter!
faking it real good!
I love the part about the simplify sign giving you the finger–or something like that right!
Yep, I have one of those simplifys too….it doesn’t work. My excuse? I think the “stuff” self multiples when I am away!
I have sworn off the yard sales until every thing from my last three weeks have found a place.
Yep…simplify…haven’t looked that up in the dictionary yet.
Your fakes are so nice they could almost be faux!
Loved your post! Nancy
I bought a Simplify t-shirt, but I think what I really need is a Simplify billboard.
And thanks for “keeping it real” about the dust!
I’m so happy someone else feels guilt walking by their “simplify” sign! (a friend bought the same big black “simplify” rooster sign as me and finally spraypainted out the word “simplify”)!
Everything looks great, I wish I could simplify my life, but I don’t see that happening anytime soon

I enjoyed viewing your fakes!
Funny post. I love the simplify sign and how it is mocking you.
The simplify sign and how you feel walking by it ~ oh so me.
I love all of your items!!! Good job
You are so funny. You always make me laugh. I think a lot of us could use that Simplify! sign. -Julia
I bought some fake fruit the other day, so I could fake it.
Of course I have not had time to fake it and they are still in the bag faking it there. 
I think they are all great!
My fav is your red basket with the gigundo sunflower on it.
Love it!
Love your colors and the one next to the black cabinets!
Ohhh, I love your garage sale find!
very cute stuff!
Oh come on…padded bras aren’t fake, they just help put things back where they’re supposed to be!
Thanks for the laugh!
Okay, I thought we were just gonna talk flowers and fruits, but you put a whole new spin on this party!
Ooh that urn is awesome. Deana
I like all the fake stuff. At my house, real plants die young, so we fake it too!
I love the fake stuff! I have fake stuff everywhere!
I am feeling better and able to get out of bed today, glad to read some blogs!
If I had a laptop I might have halfway enjoyed the bed rest!
Just found your blog – darling!!
Have a nice week!
