Summers End...

And Autumn begins. I have been working and sewing, trying to play catch up. I can't believe I'm saying this. I am trying to catch up on fall dolls and I'm already looking forward to making my Santa's. Where has the time gone, where has August gone?


Anyway, I haven't posted in a while and wanted to drop in and show these great pictures. The watering can I got at a shop around the corner. A sweet lady has an Antique shoppe in her old garage and I found this in there and fell in love with it. The Sunflowers came from Portobello Road, the shop I work at. A local lady has a beautiful wild flower garden and sells fresh cut flowers at the shop. They are about a week old and I thought the way they are facing down a bit just made me think of summers end. The butterfly was at Smith Mountain Lake. We took a day last week and rented a boat and just road around the lake for hours and it was peaceful and beautiful. This butterfly was fluttering around as I got off the boat, didn't fly away. He was just sitting there at the waters edge and let me take its picture, for about 4 shots and then just flew away finally into the woods. I was about 1 foot from him. Here are a couple more shot of this amazing man made lake, nearly just around the corner from my home...

One more thing. I do want to announce I am having a mermaid sale at my shop around the corner. Tomorrow the price will drop to $49.00, with free shipping for the mermaids only.
I hope all who visit here have a safe and blessed day and Labor day weekend.

Hey Becky,
Your Butterflies turned out great! That was such a fun day at the lake. I am getting my blog together thanks to you. I've posted everyday since I've been home. Trying to catch up on all the stuff we did while we were gone.

Mom sends her love. Hans is taking care of that aching tooth. He was tortured at the dentist today. So it was a good thing we went to the CVS while out there visiting.
Much love,
Vicki
