decorations are out - and I am enjoying the scent of the cinnamon candle warmer today. Fortunately, Peter learned to leave candles alone at the office, so I can have a lighted candle on my desk most of the time. I got these pretty fall leaf candle holders at a PartyLite party several years ago. It was the first time I'd ever been to one of those hen parties, and I think they're awfully overpriced, but I fell in love with these fall decorations and Tim got them for me. My little bear Pilgrims have been around forever - and they make their appearance every year. I am especially fond of the cornhusk doll.
My friend Beth from high school gave me this doll many, many years ago. I think we were in tenth grade - so let's see - about thirty-six years ago. It's an antique - like me! I made Beth a Holly Hobbie doll, which was all the rage back then. Preserving this doll for that long was no mean feat - considering the fact that our cats loved to chew anything that made a crunching noise.
She's still my favorite fall decoration!
Over the last few years I've moved away from "Halloween" decorations and more to an "autumn" theme that can stay up until I'm ready to put Christmas up.
ReplyDeleteYour post made me realize that I'd not lit my candle warmer yet this year, so I took care of it. Thanks to you the house now smells like spice!
