Savor the seasons.....

 I may be comitting retail suicide, but I refuse to put out my Christmas decor right now. 

I want to enjoy fall!!!

Life goes by fast enough, why rush things?  In fact seeing Christmas stuff out right now in stores just makes me nervous, so I won't do it.  I refuse.

This is one of the prettiest times of the year and I want to savor it. The colors are on fire

the sun shines a little warmer and mellower...

which inspires me.....

it's such a beautiful time of year so I hate to let it pass so quickly in favor of the red and green.

I want to be surrounded by the lush oranges and browns,

the fall palette is one of my most favorite ever!

i love working with wools and felted sweaters.....turning cast offs into

new cozy things.

and speaking of cozy.....I just love the colors in the new blankets that just arrived......

rich greens....

gorgeous jewel tones.....

and a crop of little ones in yummy colors for the pint sized set as well...

we also just received a wonderful new line of frames....with perfect weathered wood and gorgeous rustic colors.

because I love me some rustic!

it's just in my blood I suppose.....

got a little of that cowboy gene in me ;)

isn't my dad so cute?  :)

(and kinda wild how much I look like my grandmother)

anyways......we also have some wonderful new charm necklaces in stock and uploaded to the website for sale.......

fun fun things!

and not even remotely holiday stuff at all...nope, not one bit!

because like I said before,  I love this time of year......and I'm going to soak up every last ounce of Fall goodness that I can....

In fact I made a little video about Fall right here.....

 

because I for one do not want to rush a thing,

just taking it one day at a time, easy peasy.

hope you are too! :)

XOXOXO

How utterly refreshing!! Stick to your guns~"to everything there is a season..."

[Becci]

I agree...don't do it! It makes me nervous too and it's just too darn early!!

I was just talking to my kids yesterday about how a beautiful fall and Thanksgiving get totally ripped-off by an early Christmas season. Stay strong on the retail front...your shop looks soooo pretty!

Good for you, I'm with ya, the world's gone mad as far as holidays are concerned. Does anyone actually enjoy one anymore, before they are on to the next?!! STOP, smell the roses, for goodness sakes! I have my fall porch decorations up, removed the jack-o-lanterns but still have pumpkins and gourds, a scarecrow - which will stay until thanksgiving. It's been so nice as we've been blessed with incredible weather in western michigan to sit out there and bask in the sun and ENJOY FALL. Yet across the street are windowboxes filled with christmas greens and gigantic red ornamaents, a huge twinkling xmas tree already in the window. It's just toooo fast. We need to do a bit more living in the moment.

I love fall too! I am so glad that you are holding onto it just a bit longer....Love your pics! Where can I get
those little Orange pumpkin-like berries??? I just love them! What song is on, while I am making my comment today? Very nice!

Thanks again for your post!

I do agree!!! but I do love Christmas too and I always feel that season is just way too short!!

[catherine]

Thanks for backing me up on this one!
don't get me wrong.....I love Christmas too, but in it's due time :)
as far as the berries go, I got them years ago...so I can't remember now...as for the music, you can see the list on the sidebar, and it should name who's playing at the time.
it starts out with Feist if that helps! :)
thanks for all the nice comments!
XOXO

Thank you for a having more sense than most of the rest of the retailers! It makes me crazy to go into a store where the Halloween display is competing with the Christmas display and it's all on sale at 50% off and it's August. It's like we're speeding up time and rushing through our lives to get to the next holiday or event with out pausing to enjoy where we are in the present. Sorry, had to vent and I knew I would be in good company here! By the way, LOVE those blankets!
