The leaves are changing now that November's cooler temperatures are here, and I am enjoying the wonderful fall colors. Falling leaves is a nice theme for an every day tablescape for the month, providing an opportunity to use what I have in a new way. Beginning with the base, I place my Maple Star Table …

Autumn Tablescape
Cooler weather means mornings on the veranda with a hot cup of coffee looking for the first signs of turning leaves. I love this time of year.

November Wreath
Last month I did a post on Harvest Wreaths for Autumn Jubilee, and my MIL commented that she wanted one. Well, OK, any excuse to get out the goodies and play with my glue gun again!! Starting out with a grapevine wreath base, I added some fall color faux flowers and leaves. I also started …

I was sitting on the veranda, just enjoying the cooler air when I noticed how beautiful the clouds were over the mountains across the valley. The sun was setting, rain had ended a short time before and the light was fantastic. So, I …
Autumn Mason Jar Project
Aren't Mason jars the neatest things? I don't know why I am so drawn to them, maybe because they remind me of a simpler time. My grandmother made the best jams, and always used those jars. I found these lovelies in a thrift store, and had to get them. They say Golden Harvest on the …
