Why not bring some of the beauty of Autumn indoors?

Today I wanted something simple and quick that included fall colors and leaves.  I chose candles, maple leaves, and some fabric and added in some pottery from my cupboard.  As I said earlier, I love piles of leaves, so there is some necessary disarray in my ideas.  Wind doesn’t blow leaves into a straight line.  Here are some unfinished ideas my brainstorming produced…

Stay tuned for some Halloween merchandise next week!

Thanks, Tom!

Fall and I never really got along. I still don’t understand why people like ‘crisp’ autumn days. To me, that just means it’s about to be winter (note: for the seasonally deprived readers, winter in Philadelphia is cold. Really cold). So while fall days were not particularly upsetting, they were a sign of colder days to come, and that is upsetting. Fall also has this thing about leaves changing color and everything being very pretty, which is lost on the colorblind of us, who see the leaves change from bright to less bright and then fall off. Besides routinely trying to buy pink shoes thinking they’re gray, it’s my one regret of being colorblind.

But fall in southern California is a totally different thing. The temperature does drop, but here it goes from about 72.5 to 72.4, which is nice. And I still get to keep the best part of fall, which is football season! Yes, the leaves will still confuse me, but at least I can stand outside in 70 degree weather while I try to figure out how ‘red’ and ‘orange’ are different as opposed to 50 degree weather.
