Autumn Has Arrived

First, allow me to thank you all who left such kind and thoughtful comments to my last post.  You all made me realize that I have friends from many corners of this green Earth and that makes my heart burst with thankfulness.  I do apologize for bringing my sadness to you, as so many of you told me my post brought you to tears.  

SO... onward and upwards... must soldier on..  the world keeps revolving... and season's change.  We'd had Summery weather for the first half of September so I couldn't bring myself to bring out my Fall decorations.  But then yesterday the clouds moved in and the weather chilled and I needed to cheer myself.  :-)

I know it's early for pumpkins.. but what the heck. :-)

This little group was an acquisition from last year when we took the granddaughters to the Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival (OFFF) in Oregon City.  Afterwards we spotted a pumpkin patch so we stopped there too and got them each a pumpkin.  In the shop there was this little porcelain group and I had to have them.

Above is a porcelain candleholder I've had for years, it's a scarecrow, so he's appropriate for all Fall, from September, through Halloween and even through Thanksgiving.  He's so cute.

The little witch above holds a candle too, but it covers her face so I leave it off.

This is just one trip to my craft room cabinet where I keep my decorations.  I'm sure this grouping will grow.  I hung the fall leaf wreath on the door too.

So.. again, thanks for your sweet and caring comments.  I hope you're enjoying the season's change.

((hugs)), Teresa :-)
