Warm days, cool nights, the brilliant colours of fall. The most wonderful time of the year for me. It means the hard work of summer is almost over and it is time to preserve the bounty of nature.
Here are some gorgeous handcrafted autumn items that will help brighten up your quiet winter days and nights, with thoughts of work well rewarded.

Shopping for Hallowe'en decor
Are you like me, and love Hallowe'en? It is one of my favourite times of the year. The cool crisp nights, the fall colours, the wonderful smells... It is so cute seeing little children get all dressed up and excited about Hallowe'en, it brings back so many memories of being a little child.
Since my son is all grown up now, I find that am wanting to help create that wonderful feeling for other people's children. So, I have started shopping already for some handmade fall decorations that not only are suitable for autumn, but Hallowe'en as well. Witches, goblins, wee little ghosties are all on my list.
While you are doing your shopping for fall and Hallowe'en, do not forget your pets! There are some really cute costumes and toys out there for them as well.

Fall harvest time
My favourite time of year, autumn. The gorgeous colours of the leaves, the cool crisp nights just perfect for sleeping and best of all the bounty from the garden. I have a huge supply of onions and leeks, the zuchinni are almost done, plus the volunteer squash are just about ready to be harvested.
My dear husband brought home a huge box of beets last night. One of our favourite local farmers we get our eggs from gave them to us. I know what I am doing this weekend, making sweet beet pickles! We still have not gotten our tomatoes and peppers. It seems that I am not the only one to have had a very poor crop of tomatoes due to late blight. Hopefully while I am busy cooking, peeling, slicing and canning beets he will be out searching for enough tomatoes to put in the freezer for winter. We need about 2 bushels. It may take a few stops at local farms to find enough. Mind you, we prefer the roma tomatoes as they are nice and meaty.
I also have to make some zuchinni relish and see if there is any raspberries left for me from the birds and wasps.
