The Changing of the Guards

Accepting the end of Summer with the changing of the wreath on the front door to Fall.
Indian corn, scarecrows & fall leaves. The summers keep going by faster! This year was VERY hot & dry. I wonder what kind of winter it will bring.

Last Minute Book Club Hostess Gift

This month's book was The Paris Wife. Inspiration always comes at the last minute for what to bring  the host. The usual is flowers in a jelly jar with something from the books theme added or I make a candle lantern from a jar & decoupage something pertaining to the book for the candle to glow through. I was bored with these & wanted to do something new. I made a fabric corner bookmark like these a while ago that was too bulky & didn't have the charm on it. I really like the way these turned out & will definitely be making more. Pretty quick to make, too. And both co-hosts loved them!
