Forever Fall

 Note: This post was first published last year.

Are you anxiously anticipating autumn?
Do you wake up craving cooler temps, 
crisp, brisk mornings, coppery, collage sidewalks
 and layers of cozy clothing?

You do know that autumn officially arrives in ten days?
Can you contain yourself?

  Many bloggers have been busily scurrying about

  baking, decorating, prepping, and shopping.

 Every preventative measure has been taken 
to avoid being left with passed over scraps
 in the seasonal aisle.

Why am I so calm and composed?
Because I have fall at my footsteps every day!

When I finally got to have some fun and decorate
after ten years of 'serious' building,

I knew I wanted a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Thus, every room is permanently pigmented

in autumn ambiance.

 The hues may be different,

but each room reflects a coziness

that we connect with this season.

The blues are cool and the golds are warm, 
like tarnished leaves against paler skies.

The blog, of course, is an extension of my home,
like an addition or guest house, (for all of you lovelies!),
and as such, it needed to fit in;

thus, the respective banner!

And speaking of lovelies,
my sweet friend, Maria, of scrapmaria.blogspot.com,
 sent me this beautiful, handmade pendent
for my name day!

She is so talented!
Thank you, Maria, I love it!
It's so me!

And thank you to all my readers
for visiting me today;
I appreciate your 'presence', too!

The countdown is on. 
Stand by...
and thanks for visiting!
