Fabrics can be so wonderful — I carried several favourite pieces from city to city over decades – thought I’d use them someday, but really just because they were beautiful. I finally succumbed and put them out in a yard sale a few years ago!

Love all the natural elements of your autumn world share here–and yearning to find fabrics like this for my grandchildren’s stocking stuffers for Christmas!

I love the fabrics!! And autumn is my favourite time of the year, just adore the colours of the berries and trees, as well as that slight bite in the air! 😀

I love your near and far. I love fabric stores, though I do not sew. I think it is because I have great memories of going with my mom–whe was a wonderful seamstress, and my sister and I were fashion plates because of her talent when we went to school.

You were lucky children indeed! I love to sew but haven’t done much lately. I’m planning on making Hungry Caterpillar cushions for the Grandchildren for Christmas.

Looked like a thistle head to me. I love the smell of autumn too. Waiting for the brilliant colours to start here. Your view is fabulous, Sally!

Yes, it is a thistle. I love Autumn though we don’t get the colours quite like you do. We were in the US last fall and it was just wonderful! 🙂

What beautiful colours there are in autumn, aren’t there? The feathery seed head – is that ‘Old Man’s Beard’? Love those ones, and the mustard seeds are great.

It’s a thistle and is very like Old Man’s Beard. You’ve sent me off on a quest to find some now! 🙂

There seems to be beauty at every turn where you live 🙂 I loved the fluffy white feathery seed head. Sigh, to think I used to blow the top off them & make a wish….

Thank you so much, as always! We call the little feathery heads ‘wish fairies’ too! Blow off the fairies and make a wish! Good wishes to you! 🙂
