Ahhhh Autumn. The cherished time of... well... cooler weather.
It was a particularly crisp and cool morning this morning. That bite of chilliness in the air. (Well chilly for Florida at 65 Degrees)
I love this time of the year. I have missed the fall color change for 6 years now due to living in Florida. One of these days I will get back up north to see the glorious colors.
I love the smells and foods that become prominent this time of year. Pumpkin, Cinnamon, Cranberry, baked breads, hearty stews.... Fresh turned earth, crispy leaves, fresh damp air.
Can you tell im already wallowing in it? WALLOWING I tell you! :)
ahem.
This is the time of year I also get excited about making things. I have been full force into the Holiday products already, but there is a switch that flips in my head that is ingrained somehow this snap of colder weather makes me go into craft-robo lady. I want to make things... NEED to make things. It is a drive that I love feeling. Perhaps as humans some of us have it from back in the day when colder weather signaled stocking up for the winter, preparing, feeding, mending, getting ready for many days indoors in harsh weathers. Perhaps.
Either way I am excited about what this turn towards the holidays brings. I have had some great customers purchase holiday items already from my store. I hope many more return! I have new ideas in the works and I cant wait to show you all!Christmas is my favorite Holiday and Autumn is my favorite season so be prepared to see a really happy Ms. Red Marionette tootin' around with crafts inspired from those things for the next few months!

I love Autumn too! I have now switched all my candles to pumpkin spice, now waiting for the leaves to change.
I too live in Florida. I miss living up north with the leaves changing. So now I hold onto my memories with pumpkin spice candles and candy corn. My boyfriend thinks I am loony because I am desperately trying to find a pumpkin patch.
