I have to admit. I see all the lovely autumn decorations that everyone is putting up, and, well, I still have my summer wreath on the front door. I haven't decorated the porch, except for a jug of the last of my garden zinnias by the front door. But my sweetie has been working on a new project that just got me jump started on adding a little bit of autumn to my home.
He's making dough bowls for the shop. I absolutely love them. Filling them with squash satisfies the cheap frugal side of me. I can cook and freeze these for later rather than just throwing them out like so many pumpkins, and I love the different colors and forms. I even threw in a few of the tomatoes and peppers from our garden.
You can find this listed in my etsy right now. For me, this was love at first sight. He has several more in the works and I love how they are turning out! This may be my only nod to autumn at the moment, but I think it satisfies my need for simplicity in my home and represents the bounty I feel we have been blessed with. So much beauty and color and so many blessings. I would love to hear how you feel blessed today:>)
Love your dough bowls. I'm going to go check them out on etsy right now. Great idea to fill with squash! Why don't you link this very seasonal post to Seasonal Sundays this Sunday?

They are beautiful, and so similar to bowls we see here in France.

This is just lovely. Nothing wrong with being smart...I decorate with squash as well and it's a two-fer-one. And just colorful and delightful in the dough bowls. I have several antique ones but I'm off to check out your husband's talent on Etsy.
ReplyDeleteLove the bowl and the very lovely vignettes too!!

ReplyDeleteYou're right Kathy. We do have so many blessings to be thankful for. Today, I am thankful for a weekend of tailgating with my daughters and two of my grandchildren. My children and my grandchildren are a wonderful blessing and I am thankful for the times I get to spend with them.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I'm like you. I haven't gotten around to my fall decorating either...if that will make you feel better ;)
And I love the dough bowls. I'm gonna have to check those babies out!!
You must have an awesome garden...and delicious salads.
