Autumn

Hello again dear blog friends.......we are enjoying autumn days here in our little corner of the world.....
..........with lots of pumpkin themed making (more to show you soon) and autumn colours, cosy quilts, candles, falling leaves......
.....pottering in the potting shed, planting bulbs......
.........and gathering together our terracotta pots.......
.........below are two pictures of lovely old terracotta pots at daylesford farm in the cotswolds, taken last week......
..........these pots look lovely with or without plants in them i think......
...........fabric pumpkins are being made again here.......(the pattern for these easy little makes is in my etsy shop link in sidebar...and so is the pumpkin pincushion pattern at the top of this post).......
...........this morning we were up early and off to a local farm's pumpkin fields to pick our pumpkins for this year.....(we often visit claremont farm cafe and farm shop all year round too)......
.......the low sunshine made it feel very atmospheric.....it was muddy and so were the pumpkins....(hubby and i wore our wellies luckily).........
..........it was a lovely morning and we brought home a few pumpkins of the perfect size for us....not too big, not too small.....
...........beautiful autumn......loving it more and more.......below is a big fresh dahlia flower which greeted me on our arrival home from the cotswolds last week.....and there are four more buds on it too.....such a treat.....

 ...........thank you for popping in to see me here lovely readers and for your very kind comments.......wishing you a wonderful week ahead with all the autumn (or spring!) joys......take care and stay well lovelies..............back soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Beautiful autumnal pics Helen ... love your new cushion, your fabric pumpkins and all those gorgeous terracotta pots!
Just a fun time picking pumpkins, we're hoping to visit a pumpkin patch with the little ones in a couple of weeks. :)
Wishing you a lovely weekend my friend,

I do love the Fall colors for a change..... I love your sweet fabric pumpkins.. I have the pattern and finally made a few last year... I may make some more this year as love the look of "shabby" ones. Oh how pretty all those terra cotta pots are! Have a lovely weekend... Marilyn
