It's finally almost done. A Vegetable Pattern to celebrate the Harvest!!!!

Finally. i have been working on this one for a while. These veggies are a result of the wonderful garden we had this year. I had to stop adding items. Will do another pattern. It started out with root veggies but kept on going as if it had a mind of its own. More ideas --- more patterns. This one should be in PDF next week and ready for purchase. Just had to let you know!!!!!!!!

I can't wait to put this in the Thanksgiving table.!!!!!

It's beginning to look a lot like Autumn!!!!!

Stack Pumpkins

These are wonderful to add to your autumn decor. That perfect prim touch! From Baskets by Rose, these would look great on an entryway table, highboy or anywhere you wish to add that seasonal touch. In my home that would be everywhere!

She describes these as: Handmade from vintage fabric, dipped in coffee, vanilla, and cinnamon. Size about 6" across and 7" tall. Great for the fall season, late September through Thanksgiving Day. Place on a table, shelf, or use as a center piece.

You can see these and more at her Etsy shop at: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5791061

Take some time and enjoy her shop.

Hugs,
