Pretty Pastels

I just had to post these beautiful pastel pretties! Aren't they lovely? Oh, how I love pastels.

Autumn Beauty

We have an abundance of pumpkins this year, despite the bad weather we had this season.

I found this idea for a centerpiece on another blog...(forgot the name)..but it is so great I wanted to share it.

Isn't fall one of the most lovely seasons to be experienced? I think so too!

Comfort and Simplicity

I have been looking at pins on pinterest.com and found some very beautiful images! Like this lovely bed and quilts...you should go check the site out it is wonderful!

Aww...such beauty!

Beautiful Porch Scene

I know, I know, it's not winter yet....but this is such a wonderful and relaxing photo! I always love the wintertime here in Maine, and this is just so lovely I had to share it. Smiles :)

Happy October!

I just love the fall, don't you? Here in Maine we get the beautiful colors from the leafs and the crisp, cool nights before winter sets in. The kids are busy deciding on their costumes for Halloween and I am picking out fabric. It is one of my favorite times of year! I know we will be making caramel apples soon too. Enjoy your day everyone.

I think we will try these out this year!

Caramel Apples (refrigerate apples overnight before dipping so caramel sticks)

6 apples

1 (14 ounce) package individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped

2 tablespoons milk

Directions

Remove the stem from each apple and press a craft stick into the top. Butter a baking sheet.

Place caramels and milk in a microwave safe bowl, and microwave 2 minutes, stirring once. Allow to cool briefly.

Roll each apple quickly in caramel sauce until well coated. Place on prepared sheet to set.

Sewing for Fun

Well, I have decided to make myself a lovely plaid skirt. I have enough fabric to make a matching beret too. I love to wear black tights in the winter and the skirt will go great with them since the fabric is black, red, and white. A sweet white blouse and black cardigan and I am ready to go!

Time For Apple Picking and Halloween Goodies!!

We really enjoy this time together and we get to make so many yummy things with our apples. This year, we are making homemade applesauce. The pumpkins look so lovely this year! Need to pick a big one! :)

Aren't they beautiful!

We always get cornstalks too for decorating!

Here are a couple of photos I found and thought I'd share with you. They are really old-fashioned and vintage.
