We're waiting expectantly for madam Autumn to arrive, so far she is late as usual!
The cool down here in the desert Southwest is always so exciting for us. It feels so much more subtle here than where I'm from in the East. The light begins to change and a cool breeze comes through in the evenings. My dear friend who has lived here all her life can feel Fall coming at the end of August. I am not as sensitive as her to the change but I'm really starting to appreciate Autumn in the desert.
Inside our home you would think a cool, crisp Fall had arrived. Along with a consignment order & crafting for my shop, I've found time to do a few quick Autumn crafts. I made some more wool acorns and I found the above metal acorn bells at our local craft shop for 40% off. I think they were about a $1.50 for the pack. I also bought the small wreath to hang them from. I'm still adding evergreen greenery & other natural things from it, so it's a work in progress.
We have begun homeschool this week. I'm so glad I waited for a little cooler weather to slink in a bit. Michael and I now feel ready for a year of fun and learning. I'll check back in here before the week is up for a post on our first days of school.
Until next time...



I LOVE your Autumn decorations Becca!
ReplyDeleteThe wreath mobile with the bells is very cool. And that squirrel!!! I have never seen the skinny acorn caps in the bowl. Wouldn't it be fun to swap acorn caps with others around the globe to compare the different kinds!? Oh oh my science geek side is surfacing! ;o)
Enjoy your cooler days,
xoxo

Thank you Joey. I know I've always been obsessed with these acorns. They're the perfect size to top a small peg doll or clothes pin. So we've crafted with them but they're brittle so they don't last as long as the more well known acorn caps. Fun, fun.
DeleteAutumn colors and signs in your home are so cosy and warm:)) Have a lucky first homeschooling days!
