Fall~Part 2

I just can't get enough of the beauty of the fall colours.
This past weekend, hubbie and I closed up the trailer to prepare for winter.
It was quite cool but very cosy and the colours were absolutely stunning!!!
I kept on taking picture after picture. I was even holding the camera out the window to try and capture the beauty surrounding me. No, I wasn't driving. After our two night stay we celebrated Thanksgiving with the family which I am so very thankful for. God is good!

Fall

Not a very exciting title for this post but I couldn't think of just  a few words to describe my love of fall. I love the coziness of fall, getting out my warm clothing, slippers and my thicker comforter for the bed. At the same time I can still have the window open in the day. It's so nice to come into my room in the late afternoon and smell the fresh, cool air.  I especially love the beautiful colours that God has painted in the forests and in the sunrises and sunsets and the flowers (weeds) that are  blooming on the sides of the roads. Of course pumpkins, gourds and fall mums have to be mentioned too. I wish at times that I could be able to paint what I see, I can't so instead I take pictures of the things I love. Just with my point and shoot camera but hey it works for me.

Another One Finished

Another Christie's Show has come and gone. It was a soggy start to the day when we arrived to set up our booth on Saturday at 6:30. We didn't know quite what to do since it was raining and wood does NOT do well in the rain. So we had to set up in a way that we could keep everything covered. Our booth changed as the day changed. We were thankful when the rain calmed down later in the morning. Needless to say we made the best of it.

Christie's Antique Show at Christies Conservation Area near Dundas.
Here's a link to the details.
Dan and I are busy preparing for it.
We're hoping for another great day! This will be our third show there.
We've had beautiful weather so far. It's a really neat show with so many different vendors.
Come and check it out.
We are located at booth J1.
Below is a little preview of our our wares.

Bright and Beautiful

The flowers for the wedding this weekend  were a combination of orange and pinks.
It turned out beautifully.

Dahlia's, ranuculus, asters and freesia's make up this colourful bouquet.

The bride's bouquet had dahlias, ranuculus and hydrangea.
