Saying Hello To September
Good morning, friends! Today, I am welcoming September, that loveliest of months, when we begin to turn our thoughts to beautiful Fall colors and (hopefully) cooler temperatures than we have been experiencing all summer. And, of course, I am turning my thoughts to changing over some home decor to reflect entering early Fall.
I plan to move slowly in adding touches of Fall decor around our home. First, with the metal pumpkin you saw in the first photo. And second, with this bowl of miniature pillows. The bowl is a handmade gift created and sewn by my dear friend, Sharon. She does amazing artistry! The two plaid miniature pillows are ones created and sewn by me. I got the idea for sewing these little pillows over the summer when we took our niece and her friend to our local antique tobacco barn. I saw some that had been sewn and were for sale and I thought it looked like something I could use my own sewing skills to create. It was fun and easy to sew these. I added a couple other little pillows that I had to create filler in the bowl until I sew more pillows. The heavier fabric and color of these plaid pillows lend themselves to a Fall theme.
I think the side table in our living room looks so pretty with these small touches added to the other items on the table. I'm pleased with the result.
I'm looking forward to seeing pretty Fall flowers. I snapped this photo when I was at Lowe's the other day. So many pretty chrysanthemums and these flowers in the front that look like little peppers. Alas, I can't have mums around our pets but I surely enjoy looking at them in other places!
Cassie has been watching me this morning as I snapped photos and prepared to start a blog post. She seems to be telling me to "Get busy already!" She is definitely my blog buddy and my encouragement in many ways! Such a sweet girl.
How are you greeting September this year?
Until Next Time,
Debbie This and That
