First Day of Autumn

Tomorrow is the first day of autumn and with it comes traditions that I love.

   Apples

I love the smell of fresh apples in the fall. Cool, crisp air seems to make the fragrance that much stronger. Apple pie or apple cake is a tradition in my home.

Try a new craft like this Mason Jar Candle Holder from Final Clothes Out.

I don’t can vegetables as much as I used to and have lots of jars. Good idea! Could even do this with some of those jars that can’t be used for canning.

Make a wreath

Don’t forget the Halloween sewing pattern sale going on NOW in the GoofingOff Etsy and Artfire shops…..40% off all costume patterns but you must use the coupon code HALLOWEEN to get the discount. The patterns are going out the door so if you see one you like it might just be a good idea to grab it while you can.
Also, I still have skulls, bones, and all that weird stuff at MetalWoodsNWater. Think of the awesome Halloween decorating you can do.

  1. We've been decking the house Alfred Hitchcock "the birds" style for last couple of years. Add a stuffed raven/crow or two every couple of days throughout October. We get lots of driveby lookers, lol.
