Light at the End of the Summer Tunnel

Michael's craft store has autumn things out: flowers, plaques, even Halloween junk! Went there armed with three coupons, also bought some already discounted items.

Now have four new fall decorations, three which are in the living room which is fall themed: a little basket (basket less than 2" square) filled with fall leaves, squash, and other autumn-type truck, a scarecrow "ornament" (only way I can describe it; it has a hemp string to hang it up, which I have done on the fireplace to balance out the English robin ornament on the opposite side, which is vaguely Christmas themed but I love English robins and couldn't bear to put it away), and three "picks" [small floral bunches], two of autumn leaves and fruits, one of sunflowers, in a little brass container.

The fourth ornament is a plaque for the den when the time comes (57 days!) with a yellow-gold cornstalk on ivory white saying "Harvest Riches."

Previously I had made two autumn-themed frames for the living room area: one washed in orange with autumn leaf appliques on it, the other yellow washed with three-dimensional autumn symbols on it: corn, acorns, wreath of leaves, etc. Not sure if I will fill them with autumn postcards/photos or get a personal photo done. I really would like someone to take a good picture of the four of us. Bandit isn't getting any younger... :-(
