whispers of fall (and a sale)
even though i expect we will have a few more summer days, the whisperings of fall have appeared this week. the windows are slightly cracked to let in the fresh air. the water is on for tea. i am snug in one of jonny's sweatshirts.
and i am diving into fabric that reminds me of fall. browns, deep greens, sky and ocean blue, and a little pink (because...well...why not?) i'm working on a few things for my vendor table at squam and a few things to put in the shop.
so i thought i would have a "heading toward the end of summer" sale in my little shop. all totes are 35% off, maude bags are 20% off, and pillows with a dash (or more) of pink are 15% off (the pillow form is still included at the sale price). i hope you will check out the sale here.
a few people have been asking about my prayer flag sets. i do have plans to make a few sets this fall. hopefully i will have a handful at squam and then will put some in my shop later in september. thank you so much for your interest in my creations.

on another note, i had a perfect moment today that i wanted to share. i was making myself a little fruit salad as part of my lunch, and the orange i wanted to add didn't want to pull apart. i was getting juice everywhere. so i simply decided to stand over the sink and suck the juice right from the orange (ala miss matty). it dribbled down my chin as i giggled with each slurp.
it was wondrous.
have you had any perfect moments lately?

yay sale :) summer does so feel like it is whispering its good-bye especially today ...
perfect moment: this morning i walked outside, the clouds hung dark and grey and there were a splattering of yellowed leaves littering my front lawn. i breathed in deeply and did a little twirl for the promise of my favourite season making her way here ;-) grateful that i live in such a richly treed neighbourhood because the leaves this early are an anomaly to the many trees in the area ...
My windows are open and the air here is much more like fall than summer!
Perfect moment: last night at the fair when my son who doesn't care for heights said he wanted to go on the ferris wheel with me! My heart was full of love and pride.
Peace!
yay for fall and the colors that i love/associate with my favorite season.
yay that i get to see you seated at your vendor table!
my perfect moment was spending the day with a good friend talking, eating and taking photos. and i got her in a photo booth.
Miss Matty, indeed! Hopefully Jon wasn't around or you might each have had to retire to separate rooms before enjoying your oranges ;)
Your perfect moment ends my day with a big smile; thanks for sharing it.
it's fun to share such soulful questions with each other, isn't it? my perfect moment was sitting down to savor my first sip of african autumn tea, with my eyes gently closed. it was thisclose to being too hot, which is just the way i like it!
i just checked out your shop and i am so impressed...i can't wait to see what you bring to squam for vendor night! it will be such a pleasure to meet you...
autumn is peeking round the corner ... i just love the nearing of another season of crisp turning leaves, cooler air, and breaking out the fall wardrobe. xx, deb
