spt:*fall* into autumn

Fall 1995 I was spoiled forever by an October trip to Vermont.  Now I have this seasonal hunger for color and crunch...neither of which are found in my hometown Arizona.  But, knowing my love & lack, a few falls later Kel sent me a Good Mail package full of her Chicago.  I'm not sure if she knows that I immediately framed the leaves.  A piece of fall that I'll keep forever beside my rolling memories of Vermont aflame.

 

 

 

 

I also added a fun bit of fall Halloween to my house last Saturday.  My mother-in-law invited all her girls and her good friend Cheryl with her girls over to do this project.  It was a blast!  Eating, sanding, painting, staining, stenciling, glittering, chatting.  A perfect Saturday morning.  Thank you for the fun project, Kay!

Darling blocks!

I love the framed leaves. How cool that they were mailed by Kelly. The blocks are so fun. Happy Fall.

your leaves and your blocks are AWESOME! how cool to think to frame them. we suffer from a lack of "frame-able" leaves here, too.

and the t or t blocks are a perfect hint of the fun of the season. and they will be a great memory of a great saturday morning!

[Mandy]

what a great idea to frame those leaves! Cute blocks!

[Shanon]

Your blocks look adorable! I'm glad you took a picture because I keep changing how I set mine up, rather Jake keeps changing it so I don't remember. And FYI I'm getting induced Saturday!!!!

Hmm, I did not know you had framed them. That is delightful to know, actually! I had framed a few of my own while we lived there, but they did not survive. Maybe the dry vs. wet climates are the difference? Anyway, so fun to see. And I love your trick or treat blocks. They are really cute. I love the colors.

Any my boys prefer the nude too, but they know underwear is a MUST!

just popping over to say hi! hope your week has been a good kind of busy?

[Kelly]

Just want it officially noted that I miss you and it has been nearly a week since you've posted. So, unless you've moved in with Ras to help with the twinnines, this is not acceptable, chickawicka!
