<\/a><\/p>\nOn Monday, the thermometer barely reached sixty as a steady rain drizzled the parched earth with liquid life drops. \u00a0Fall candles, apple dumplings, fuzzy blankets … the perfect way to start Monday’s school work since no one wanted to go outside anyway. \u00a0Don’t you love it when the weather meshes with your plans like vanilla ice cream melting in molten chocolate lava cakes?<\/p>\n This fall has been beautiful in so many ways. \u00a0Cool, then warm, then hot, then perfect with glorious splashes of color and phenomenal sunsets. \u00a0It’s been so gentle in it’s introduction to the bone-chilling winds that lurk around the corner, ready to bury us in winter’s icicles. \u00a0For now, there are apples and pumpkins and plenty of sunshine. \u00a0Short sleeves one day and hoodies the next.<\/p>\n It’s also been a fall filled with fun things. \u00a0One of my favorite’s this year was the Perennial Barn Sale in Virginia. \u00a0I first heard about the sale when Amelia messaged me to see if I’d consider being a guest vendor. \u00a0After browsing their facebook page<\/a>, I was thrilled at the chance! \u00a0It’s a lovely sale and the perfect way to get excited about fall. \u00a0Even when you’ve grown up thinking fall kind of smells like death and depression. \u00a0Who me? \u00a0Oh, yeah, that’s me.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n I loved being surrounded by so much local talent and beauty! \u00a0Handmade signs, vintage jewelry, june jars<\/a>, pottery, darling baby outfits, and oh my stammering taste buds, food that was just beyond description. \u00a0My booth was across from this one and let me tell you, the pumpkin scones were phenomenal! \u00a0Served with a dollop of cream on the side …. just take me back ….<\/p>\n <\/p>\n There was barbecue and happy people browsing booths and pumpkin painting and donuts and coffee and live music and laughter!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Like usual, I waited until the week of to start thinking about my booth. \u00a0Note to self: no matter how many times you’ve done it, this is still not a good idea. \u00a0\ud83d\ude42 \u00a0It was fun pulling items out of corners and arranging them and sparked my dormant want-to-do-a-small project gene. \u00a0Maybe I should make mock deadlines for myself and see if they happen.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I love that old white barn door for a backdrop behind my booth! \u00a0Too bad it didn’t fit into the stuffed to the gills van for the trip home. \u00a0I wonder if Amy would have missed it? \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
