GOODNESS GRACIOUS

{as gramma H would say}

Here I've been talking about the end of Summer,

posting Autumn pics,

and it dawned on me that I once again almost

forgot about my CupboardScape.

Although here in Michigan it is nearly 90 degrees,

Let's herald in Fall with this

harvest CupboardScape.

I have always had a love hate relationship with thistles.

I so love the shape of the leaves and that purple flower.

But then you realize when you try to touch them.

O U C H

I always tried every year to pick these beauties

by hand of course...

and every year it seemed I never learned my lesson.

Each year growing up I managed to prick myself.

It's true with age comes wisdom.

Now I look at the wild ones from a distance

and place the faux ones in my decor.

It sure is safer that way...

plus my hands like me for it too. LOL

Chinese Lanterns are another Autumn favorite of mine.
Mom mom use to say if you made a wish and then
popped the pod your wish would come true.
Now I think it was her way of getting me 
to re-seed her plants. :-)   but it worked.

The colors in our house go very well with the season's colors.

I bring out old faithful each Fall.
A child's quilt perfect for the season.

A simple Autumn display.

My favorite time of the year.

I personally believe that the colors of Autumn speak.

They say ~
"C'mon on in. All Are Welcome!"

With the temperature at an all time high,
I took the grands home early,
now I am holed up inside creating for Christmas.
{Staying cool}
Yesterday we had fun at the beach, 
went for ice cream, 
We had chili dogs and fries for dinner
 {their favorite}
This morning breakfast 
was french toast and breakfast sausage.
Bob and I normally do not eat breakfast,
 so it's a treat when we have breakfast too!

Hope everyone is enjoying their first Autumn weekend!
  An Autumn Welcome Blessings To All!
