Whatever Girlfriends

Even in Florida - fall is here.  We have a little color and nice cool weather.  And I can still enjoy the beach!!!  Love it!  Thank you, God, for such wonderful pleasures of this life. Just a splash of color leaves.  Is the old pitcher gorgeous?  It belongs to my friend, Debbie Lanning.  When she was moving it was in her "not taking with me" pile.  I figure I can use it until she decidess she wants it back - then she has to come get it!!!!!  grin Hank made me the candle box out of an old pallet.  I love it.  Sometimes I put  little sprigs of berries in it. Again, just adding some leaves and pinecones and small handmade wreaths.   I added some fall flowers to a pottery vase Mark made in school last year.   Love the teal color with the fall flowers! On my buffet is a plate I found at a Bible Book store years ago, the strainer my grandmother used to make applesauce with, and more leaves! ...

These are only a few of the fun and beautiful sights I was privileged to see as I wandered through North and South Carolina yesterday.  The colors are beginning to emerge out across the mountains.  The air was a little cool, yet the sun was out - the day was beautiful in all ways.  "I know that the Lord is great, that our Lord is greater than all gods." We also went to an arts and crafts festival.  Such talented people!  Gorgeous works of art - paintings, drawings, wood-works, jewelry, soaps, music, sewing, knitting, crocheting....you name it, we saw it! It was a nice day with my parents and my son - in His presence, His glorious presence!  I hope you get to take some time to enjoy this fall season!
