I'm dreaming of the perfect mild autumn weekend, kicking up my heels and running foot loose and fancy-free, splashing through water in my wellies...

Smiling up at the sun in the garden and getting my hands dirty in the garden, collecting fresh vegetables and flowers.

Perhaps heading off to the local farmer's market for some lovely pumpkin and butternut
- some to eat, and some to decorate!

Coming home, kicking off my shoes, sailing through the air on a swing, leaving all my cares in the world far below me on the ground...

Finally, after a lovely meal filled with all the goodness of autumn (and maybe a little maple syrup), settling in with a cozy blanket and a good book.

I hope your weekend is filled with all the best of autumn...

Here are some lovely things to make it even better:
- a very glamorous give-away-
- a fabulous read-
- gorgeous icy blue-
-lovely zig-zag notecards-
