weekending.....

A little of this....a little of that....not much of anything....

I've been waiting for fall since....oh, about mid-June.  I've waited long enough.  This weekend was spent wishing and dreaming....and--

:: making acorns.  I've made these before and somehow they all seem to get given away.  A new batch now awaits the celebration of autumn

:: baking apple crisp.  Made the house smell like fall

:: crocheting around a coastal rock from Maine.  Before the airlines charged for luggage.....and before there was a weight limit....I brought back some (actually LOTS) of these  wonderful coastal rocks. It reminded me of that wonderful October trip and how Maine is really one of my favorite places to be, especially in the fall

:: knitting a quick, easy fall-colored beaded bracelet (Laura Nelkin's mudra cuff)

:: pouring over Autumn decorating inspiration -- lots of pumpkins, mums, and harvest colored-love

Now if I can just get the thermometer to cooperate (note:  picture taken in the shade!)

(an online friend was talking about 'mood' decorating; when I really think about it----the seasonal rearranging and fluffing and spiffing I do around the house is just getting the 'home' to match the 'mood'; I like that---and now I don't have to wait for temperatures to drop or the calendar page to flip!!!--bring on the candy corn, bittersweet, and apple cider!! Does anyone else re-decorate to get the right mood? )

What sweet little acorns!! I love them. I am so ready for fall as well!! The hut & muggy's are coming back this week and it makes me want to cry!!

Waiting for fall here too, the difference in the UK being that it feels autumnal already. The year is definitely turning. Hope it cools down for you soon.

I wanted fall right after spring but let's not go there. I will be pulling out my fall decorations on Sept. 1st. I always do that, and it makes me so very happy!

cute acorns you got going there :)

Imitation is the highest form of flattery." -Coco Chanel...so get ready because here it comes! I love the little acrons and my wrist needs one of those bracelets!

I apparently also "mood" decorate! My foyer is decoreated for Fall and soon will the rest of the house. I love the braclet and have thought about making some for gifts.

Where have I seen that cuff before? Hmm...so cute! As well as those acorns! I wish fall would hurry up too. I'm over summer.

This hot weather really is getting old isn't it? I do love those knitted bracelets and acorns. Have a great week!

Autumn is my absolute favorite season so I really really loved this post! Gosh but your pictures are gorgeous! Love the acorns and crochet covered rock. My family makes fun of me because I decorate the house to match the seasons and holidays, too. Although I suspect that they secretly enjoy it ;)
