Fall is in the air! (And hopefully here to stay). We've had a completely brutal summer here in NJ, so I am thrilled when the morning temp reads 66 degrees (??!!). With a luscious fall breeze, to boot. Truly delicious.
- This weather makes me want to:
Chase the kids
Run the dog
Light a bonfire
Dance with my man
Do cartwheels on my front lawn
Except I can't do cartwheels. My poor neighbors would have to call for aid, and that could be very embarrassing for me. Or, maybe they would just point and laugh, which would make me proud.
I just received a new shipment of tree branch buttons from lovely Linda, and I can't wait to put them to use.
Aren't those leaves delightful? If you click on the photo you can view it enlarged and truly appeciate the rings of those gorgeous Red Pine buttons on the right. So very satin-y smoooooooth.
I have quite a few of her pretties already.
I am actually quite addicted to her work. I love how each button is an individual, separate piece of nature, enhanced by human hands to bring forth the natural beauty and essence of each tree. I love rolling them around in my hands and smelling them (especially the Red Cedar). Sometime these buttons inpire a new design concept, some of which will be appearing in my Fall/Winter line over the next few weeks!
I grabbed the girls and the dog this morning and met my parents at the local farmer's market for some kettle corn, live music, and Jersey-fresh produce.
It was very breezy and bright, which explains the pained look on Abigail's face and my dad's Mach-3 hairstyle.
This is the expression I was hoping to capture:
Love my little snaggletooth.
The day ended with a spontaneous date with Chad at a restaurant that had a wine list instead of a kids' menu. Bliss!
What are your plans for this long, last weekend of Summer?
