Every time I blink, it seems that a week has past.
Time for my September mantle.
My theme for September is acorns, apples and pears.
I'm usually ready by now for autumn, but not quite ready to decorate with pumpkins and Halloween decor. So these decorations of early autumn harvest help bridge the gap for me...
Acorn needle roll - an old Maggie Bonanomi Club piece from Country Sampler.
A sweet Steiff squirrel with a velvet and wool acorn.
A collection of velvet and leather acorns.
Velvet pears made by me...
Chalkware acorns
Another old Maggie Bonanomi club piece from Country Sampler with a Maggie Bonanomi original penny rug in the background.
A collection of folk art and antique pears.
An oldie but goodie.
"Johnny Appleseed" by Prairie Schooler
I may have stitched this 14 years ago, but I love it as much now as when I put in the final stitch...
A Stacy Nash Club piece from Country Sampler.
Oh, the Lord is good to me,
And so I thank the Lord
For giving me the things I need
The sun, and the rain, and the apple seed.
The Lord is good to me.
And so I thank the Lord
For giving me the things I need
The sun, and the rain, and the apple seed.
The Lord is good to me.
Yesterday my husband and I celebrated our 29th wedding anniversary.
Is that really possible? Who knew when we first got married the wonderful and incredible years that were to follow :) We are so blessed!
Blessings, Patti
