I wanted to do a little something fallish for my fireplace mantel and decided I'd make an autumn leaf garland. Only I got rid of all my scrapbook paper last year :) I used to decoupage a lot but last year I was de-cluttering all my craft supplies and I was thinking about what types of projects I really wanted to do.

The Start of My Fall Vegetable Garden

Off The Shelf
I thought I'd share some of the books that I'm currently reading that may interest you. "An English Cottage Year" is such a charming little book. Filled with pretty little illustrations, poems, recipes and tips such as "How to Trim a Hat". Here's a page about honeybees. I'm such an Austenphile and therefore can't wait to read "In The Garden with Jane Austen"! I've looked at all the ... Read More about Off The Shelf
