The Artificial Leaves Are Falling Once Again

Fall is officially here in our house! When the leaves go up, the season begins! With the sun streaming in, it's a little hard to see them all but trust me there are HUNDREDS of leaves on my windows! The good thing is they stay up till the day after Thanksgiving. When I put the Halloween decorations up, I just rearrange the leaves around them. These are just a few pictures.

Caitlin and I decorated the windows and the front door sidelights.

We even redid a little Autumn rake that we have had for many years!

I also took out some of the Fall arrangements I have made.

And remember those greens I got from the nature preserve that I sprayed with acrylic?

They will last nicely! I'm a little crooked with the picture taking today! Sorry!

And if you love Fall the way I do, and believe it is a state of mind!, as I do, then you will understand why I like to see leaves when I do my dishes!

My little friends below are waiting patiently for more boxes to come out.

In the meantime, I picked up this magazine yesterday and loved it! I had never seen this one. It's not that there were so many new ideas but what I liked was that there was nothing difficult. Nothing too time consuming and complicated. I lose interest in a craft or recipe that takes too much thinking! 

I picked this vintage cookbook up for Caitlin. From 1957. She loves to cook with me and wants to do it more and more. She was flipping through it and looking for recipes to make.

 She found a Pumpkin Face Cake. I think we'll be adding this to our Halloween Menu!

Have a wonderful day!
