AT THE WATER’S EDGE:

I really do.  Pumpkins, cornucopias, the smell of freshly fallen or even burning leaves.  Dressing up and being goofy on Halloween.  Fresh pressed apple cider and donuts.  Plus, we happen to live in one of the most beautiful states during the early weeks of fall.  The leaves in Michigan are magnificent!  They were a little dull this year compared to last, but beautiful nonetheless.  

I also like to fill my home with the sights, colors, and scents of fall.  I’ve found a few crafty ideas in magazines that involve pumpkins and gourds, and I have taken to doing these each year, depending on what I can find at the farmer’s market.  One of my favorite simple things to do is to make candle holders out of miniature pumpkins (or the green & white squash that look like mini pumpkins – not sure what they are??).
