Next Years Meadow

There's not much color left along the creek now.

The beautiful flowers that bloomed there all summer are gone and in their place are the makings of next years meadow. Dry pods and fluff that the wind will scatter about in random fashion.

Soft neutral hues that remind me that winter is just around the corner.

Soon these will be glittered with snow.

Mother natures frosting.

One last wish.

And finally a pop of color that lasts all year long.

I hope you've gotten out to enjoy the last of the beautiful Fall weather too.

Handmade Velvet Pumpkins

Tis the season for making pumpkins.

I made these using recycled materials.

The velvet was from an antique bed jacket and the lace and ribbon are old and recycled too.

The pedestals were once candle holders.

I made a few dark orange velvet ones and the witches hat with a mix of new and recycled materials.

The old velvet album and the antique shoes were fleamarket finds and remind me of a witches shoes and her book of spells.

Each year at this time I make new pumpkins.

I think these are my favorite so far.

Happy Fall Everyone!

The crisp white kitchen curtains that danced in the summer breeze have been laundered and packed away for next year. In their place are hand made ones that I've fashioned from recycled coffee bean sacks. They give the room a warm Fall feeling and go well with the pumpkins and Sweet Annie that have taken the place of summer's lavender.
