Please take one and have some tea or coffee. I've already had one but will be happy to have another with you!
We ventured outside today and little one took awhile to get used to it. She has been walking about a month now and still shaky on new ground. Check out her Daddy's hat :)
4---yes, 4 teeth have been coming in the past few weekends. Talk about a CRANKY kid! I did get a few good shots. Here is Squirt at 11.5 months old. I've been working on her crown, happy birthday banner, and invitations to match her lantern (see post below) that I did for the Sweet Six event.

Front door...I won this on Ebay. Can't say I got a bargain but I HAD to have it with the shape and the cute prim objects in it. Perfect for my maroon red door behind it!
Basket of sweetness of fall yummies--pumpkins, acorns, sweet Halloween basket I made, and my ceramic Birdies! I have many :)
Just a few vignettes around my house. I can never wait till the first day of Autumn. I did these last weekend! I LOVE the autumn colors---my absolute favorite time of year! Hope you enjoyed :)
Off to download some I Tunes for my FREE IPOD shuffle :)

I thought I would share a few photos of where I live, Greenville South Carolina. We are finally see a bit of Fall in the air with the temps down to 80 degrees. I know, that's not cool but it feels like it after 5 months of 95 degree heat and humidity. This is one of my favorit times of year. Fall invorigates me to bring out those beautiful reds, golds, orange, greens, and browns. I do miss my red maples. D & I planted one when we moved in our starter house 9 yrs ago and that tree may have grown 3 feet in those amount of years. It finally has a roundish shape and produces leaves but nothing like that firey red I grew up with. *sigh*
All these photos are of downtown. I'm lucky to work in this beautiful area. We have a spectacular river and waterfall that flows right through the middle of town and it just reflects how beautiful the years of restoration have brought Main St USA back on the map. Our town is very International due to the various companies that have settled here, BMW, Michelin, Flour Daniel, GE, Samsung, many many others. After years of struggle with losing all the textile industry, it's nice to see it prosper again. Nothing like when my Dad moved us here over 25 yrs ago.
Art has a larger audience here now. There is a row of studios that they rent to artists for a few bucks a month where you can go in and view there work. It's awesome! They face the river with gorgeous views. It's part of a non profit organization to bring in the Arts. Now if we could get a few more scrapbook shops!

here at the house on the unofficial end of Summer. September is a reminiscing month for me where I reflect on the past and look forward to the cooler weather. Although, here in the South we have at least 4 more weeks of high to low 80's. Nights will finally cool off. We are in the midst of very tropical air from Gustav and awaiting a dump of rain from Hannah. It's really needed here as we are in a severe drought.
I've decided to put my shops on hold for now. The Doc says I need to slow down a bit so I'll be concentrating on my crafty part of me to occupy that art passion. Learn some new techniques and enjoy my baby girl who will be 1 in a few short 6 weeks! Working FT outside the home and trying to run a shop, plus take care of my little one has depleted my health. Must do what the Doc says. I'll find out my test results by the end of the week.
I also bought my first autumn flower to start my Fall today. Isn't this a beauty?

Tomorrow starts the Sweet Six Retreat. It will be so much fun! I really need this distraction right now.
Enjoy the rest of your long weekend!
