Falling for Fall

Mmmm ...

Just back from a trip to Washington.

No, no, no ....

not THAT Washington!

That trip is NEXT week, silly!

But THIS Washington ...

AND GUESS WHAT?!?

While I was away,

fall happened ...

on both coasts.

It reminded me

how much I like fall 

and it's bits and pieces.

Here are a few

just for you.

Leaves from Sandy and Joe at

Rhubarb Reign.

They are not in the Northwest ....

but a great blog to visit.

These luscious lovelies are from

Auntie Joy.

She had a great time at Art Camp while I was gone.

This one is from Florence's blog

Essences of the Past.

(And it sounds like I missed a 

GREAT primitive sale while I was gone!!)

And don't you love this one from Noteworthy Musings?

And this one too?

Carole had some great getaways.

It's nice to take a few minutes

to catch up with

what people have been doing ...

I LOVE

our time together.

So many more to drop by and see ...

and comments to reply to.

WHEW!

But first a quick look

at MY own bit of fall 

in my dining room

Preserved leaves from Safeway

artificial blooms (on sale) at Michael's

salvaged curly willow in

an old ironstone pitcher ...

And look closer ...

my own

PUMPKIN MAGIC WAND!!

from sweet Martha at

Vintage Trifles!

Time to get back to work! ....

Hugs and hopes for a fabulous fall!

Sammy Girl

ps .... found the PERFECT shoes to go with the pumpkin magic wand but they didn't fit .....
