HAPPY HALLOWE'EN... in August?

Yes, it has begun...I'm starting to load up my shops with Halloween themed goods. I developed a taste for  skeletons last year, so expect to see lots of those rattling around in my closet  shop. Silvery skeleton tags, vintage anatomy pages, lots of goodies to add spooky elegance to your All Hallows' crafts and decor. Enjoy...

Book Review

Bethany Lowe's Folk Art Halloween
My latest Halloween decorating/inspiration book. I love this book-the design, the color palette (yes, of course, black & orange), and the photography. My favorite part is, as usual, the pictures-EYE CANDY! The projects are cool-vintagey, whimsical. They seem easy enough,and there's lots of good instructions, templates, and clip-art included. A very fun and inspirational book. Especially if you're already a Bethany Lowe fan, as I am!

P.S.

I am loving this new color scheme for my Blog. Very Halloween-y. I'll change it after Oct. 31st!

AUTUMN GREETINGS!!

YAY!!!! It's Official-The First Day of Autumn. In case there's any doubt in your mind, I LOVE AUTUMN!!! The cooler air, the gorgeous colors... Pumpkins, Pumpkins, and, ohmygod, more Pumpkins! I love words like... Harvest... Gather... Bountiful... Abundance. I love colors like ... ochre... burnt orange... paprika... sage... copper...amber... cinnabar (love that name!) The crispness in the air is so energizing to me, I wish it could be like this all year.
Happy Fall! Go out and Gather your Bountiful
and Abundant Harvest!!
