CRAFTING AND HOME COMFORTS IN AUTUMN


Good Morning Kindred Spirits..
my thoughts are now turning to the holidays
that will be upon us in the blink of an eye....
I am planning my menus and ideas for
table settings.....
I love using natural elements in the fall season
and have found my inspiration for
the Thanksgiving farmhouse table....


It's simple and natural.....
a burlap table runner, apples, seeded eucalyptus and white candles...
what a lovely way to welcome family in for Thanksgiving....
 


Start the morning with hot biscuits and jam
on a pretty autumn plate......delightful....


Autumn is THE season for making homemade soups and stews...
our kitchen smelled amazing with this delicious
Lasagna Soup simmering on the stove...


I stocked the pantry with fresh baking supplies so today was the day
for baking a vintage plum cake with buttermilk glaze...divine!



Layer your furniture with soft and cozy autumn throws.....
it's spending time with someone who makes you feel good......



I love the soft glow of candlelight in fall....makes for a cozy
feel of pure contentment.......

Okay, this might be a craft that you may be interested in....
I like to engage in activities that keep your brain sharp
and are not too taxing.....meaning something I have no talent for....
and also an activity that in the end, will be a beautiful keepsake....
my recent discovery in "Sticker by Number Books!"
So far, I am loving these beautiful images and spending
time creating  a lovely picture....

Customers find the pictures pretty, vibrant, and happy.
They say the activity is relaxing, soothing,
and a great stress reliever.
Readers also describe the book as
 fun, engaging, and addictive. 



There are many, many themes and styles from which to choose,
so I think this is going to very enjoyable to do...



These would also make a lovely gift for someone special...
I found mine on Amazon


I have such gratitude for the gift of the Autumn season...

  1. Oh, those sticker books are so delightful. I have a similar one, but it's an adult coloring book. They really are relaxing to work on. Your throw is so cozy, and I love to light candles time of year. And that vintage plum cake with glaze! - oh my, that looks moist and Yummy. The lasagna soup looks delicious too, and perfect for the cold days ahead. I always enjoy seeing your cozy and welcoming home, Betsy. And that last painting really says "Autumn," doesn't it?

    Have a peaceful weekend, my dear.
