Here is the best Roasted potato recipe ever! Start by chopping 3-4 lbs of potatoes into about 1" pieces. Here I'm using red potatoes but I have made them with Yukon Gold, White, and the bags of small "fancy" potatoes. Use what you've got!
Combine all of your ingredients until well coated into a 9x13" greased baking dish. (I use cooking spray) We use fresh oregano .. if you don't grow it they sell fresh herbs at the grocery store.. Bake at 425 degrees, turning every 15 minutes until crispy...approximately 45 minutes to an hour.
You want them to be brown and crispy .. not burnt ..so keep an eye on them toward the end ..
When they come out of the oven I like to top them with some more fresh oregano and lemon zest . They are amazing and go well with the white sauce and grilled lemon chicken ..
Thank you Chelsea for making the cute chalkboard recipe card !

This is Lizzie Kate's Thankful string that I deleted the turkey and added a scarecrow! I want to have a string for all the seasons ..and since by Thanksgiving my home is decorated for Christmas I needed to lose the turkey ..
This is my 2nd string I have finished up .. I do have 2 other stitched but not finished ..the Merry string for Christmas and the Spooky string for Halloween .. that leaves me with the Snowy string and the spring string to stitch .
Of course I used magnets and washers to attach.. the stitching is mounted on sticky board and so is the fall plaid homespun .. I made a bow from orange gingham ribbon , grey gingham ribbon and black gingham .. added some fall leaves and berries ..and a couple thistley things Buzzy string
All the Classic Colorworks floss I used

and here it is in the hutch .. I am using the Bent Creek Row in my kitchen
The stitching is only 1-1/2 inches wide so these are quick to stitch!

I have 2 galvanized tiered trays that I decorate for the seasons .. yesterday I showed you the round one that sits in my kitchen .. today it is the oval one that sits in my family room .. Both were purchased at Sam's club a couple years ago ..This vignette is on top of my vintage buffet in the family room..
The top of this one holds a cross stitched Fall pieceThankful Pumpkins from Annie Beez Folk art that I mounted on an old silver crusty tray :) pumpkins, sweater pumpkins, sunflowers, cotton stems ..black check ribbon and torn fabric a little vintage truck and Fall colored chickens ..
This pumpkin with a crow is a freebie from With Thy Needle and Thread I stitched it in 2013 and just was tired of the finish so I revamped it and put it on this planked pumpkin from Walmart .. I took it off its original sticky board and mounted it on a smaller piece of sticky board .. then added torn homespun and of course a washer and magnet so I can change it out ..
I changed out the Mason Jar chalkboard to sunflowers and absolutely LOVE it!
The truck was a gift to the little grandsons from my neighbor and the kids let me "use it" It has a little olive bucket in the back with a sweater pumpkin and fall leaves ..

Sweater pumpkins are my favorite and they are placed all over in this vignette!

I mounted it on sticky board and then mounted purple checks to sticky board for the backing ..added a torn ruffle of black ticking ..and licorice black Lady Dot Creates pom poms.I attached it to the wood frame with a magnet and sheet metal.. I found the witch legs at Dollar Tree and used magnets and washers to attach them to the back of the frame
I made her a skirt from black tulle, purple checks and a doily for her slip.. I added a bow and covered button and bows and covered buttons on her feet .. I stuck the legs in Styrofoam to hold them up in the bucket .. I can't wait to decorate for Halloween!
