Autumn Is Upon Us

Autumn is upon us and this family is happily welcoming it. We've had such a wonderful summer that was filled with sunshine, laughter and adventures. It filled us up so we feel ready to approach this new season, one which is slower and allows more rhythm into our days.

This gorgeous harvest garland was created at the Aurora Waldorf School. Last week, we spent some time slicing and arranging apples and oranges to be dehydrated. That allowed us to string them up along with marigold blooms in crimson, orange and yellow this week.

You can see how warmly the sunshine brightens each piece. And you even can catch a whiff of the scrumptious oranges and apples too.

We were lucky enough to make a second one to go along with our autumn nature table.

We have deer, goose and squirrel checking out the acorns and walnut shells. They are sitting atop our hand dyed play silk.

And in our postcard holder is the lovely squirrel family busily preparing for the colder weather.

Plus all our beautiful gourds which are also neat to touch and play with.

Welcome autumn, you are my favorite time of year!
