Fall Festivities

It is now November--fall--and I am scrounging up reasons to be enthused despite the onset of cold weather and, worse, the apprehension of winter. It's time to indulge in photos of cozy, earthy decor and comfort food recipes.

A recent Family Dinner Day at my house

The table settings I made last year

Extremely easy wooden bead napkin rings I made two years ago.
Just put beads on wire and wrap into circle.
