Welcome friends!
So as we embark on the last September weekend
and as Autumn embraces us all with its unique brand of
memory making, decorating, crafting and baking,
I thought it would be just wonderful to have a spot for
lots of Autumn crafty decor tips.
What's one of the best things ever about blogging?
Why, my blogger friends.
My blogging communities are simply the sharing-est,
most generous people around.
I feel I know them and
while I've been fortunate enough
to chat on the telephone with a few of them,
to chat on the telephone with a few of them,
I know none of them

SO here you go:
From tablescapes to wreaths to mantles to wall hangings
to centerpieces and more!`
Enjoy!

I think I'll be pretttttty busy trying to concoct
a few of these bold and intriguing projects.
