Why I love Autumn

I never thought I'd grow up to be interested in ploughing! This image comes from the latest Country Living magazine.  It reminded me of all that I look forward to at this time of year:

• Fields of cut corn as far as the eye can see
• A crispness in the morning air
• The first fire of the season.....yet to come but just around the corner
• Produce from the allotment: pumpkins, cobnuts, apples, beans and more beans
• Layering up the sofa with blankets and cushions ready for some cosy reading with a pile of boys
• Crumpets and honey for Sunday tea

Have a great weekend.  We're off to Wirksworth for the Festival to catch up with friends old and new: Terry Davies, Michelle Neale, Sue Vanderplank, Stevie Davies, Heather Dewick, Justine Nettleton.  Good luck everyone!

Today in the post I got a wonderful selection of endpaper offcuts from book binder Heather Dewick.  We both have a passion for paper!  Heather creates beautiful hand bound journals and albums, covered in some amazing papers.

So what am I doing with all those beautiful pieces of paper? I've started making some mini paper bunting to decorate my stall at Holmfirth Art Market on 12th June.....thanks Heather!
