Autumn brings NEW Faith...

There is a harmony in autumn

and a luster in it's sky,

which through the summer

is not heard OR seen.

- Percy Bysshe Shelley

..

It's a MISTY autumn evening

here in Kentucky, one that makes you 

want to curl up under an ole' 

quilt, book in hand, while sipping

on a FINE cup of dark roast coffee!

BUT... at the moment, that thought will

have to be pushed aside, for things 

are in SUCH a disarray here at the farm!

I'm leaning on FAITH of those 

days to come, for the comfort of tomorrow...

& the NEW possibilities that lie ahead! 

With each passing day... & autumn NOW here, the moment has came to bid old things farewell!
In the coming weeks... I hope to know the true feeling of a bountiful fall, one that presents peace, love & understanding!
Oh, SWEET friends... I have SO much to share... & will SURELY do so in due time! BUT, for NOW... I sincerely ask for your time, JUST a moment of prayer that God's will be done & ALL that I do be to glorify Him!
BLESSED evening... from the heart!

AUTUMN finds & SHOW TIME...

The Earth has rolled around again

and harvest time is here,

The glory of the seasons

And the crown of all the year.

-Carolyn Wells

The days of AUTUMN 
are upon us & those welcoming symptoms
present themselves in MANY forms!

One of those forms... is through
our wardrobe & the accessories we choose!

And VINTAGE is what I choose...

with a whole lotta COUNTRY girl charm!

With years of roaming the countryside,

plundering through ole' homesteads

to gather VINTAGE goods, I've ALWAYS

salvaged every piece of clothing & accessories

my hands could grab! 

SO for the FIRST time ever...
there will be offerings from the small,
FINE collection of vintage wears/wares
that's been tucked away!

ALONG... with a SWEET gathering
of 'Beehind Thyme Farm & Garden'...
high quality, cotton T's!  PERFECT for
wearing underneath those button-up flannels
throughout the autumn & winter season!

The accessories that I will be toting
to the upcoming show... will be ALL
things VINTAGE, NO current day bling,
JUST old time goodness, SUCH as
this slide, choker chain embellished
with large, pearls!

With this sampling of finds shared...
along with other, SUPERB talent showcasing
their goods... I hope that I can encourage YOU
to attend this GRAND event!

I TRULY look forward to seeing YOU...

Season's...

By all these lovely tokens

September days are here,

with summer's best of weather

and autumn's best of cheer.

- Helen Hunt Jackson

It's nearing those moments of harvest... 
the loading up of nature's BOUNTY,
another season has arrived & the one has gone!

YOU know... if you REALLY stop
& ponder on the word... seasons, 
you will find it brings a BOUNTY to the table!
It offers the division of the months, 
the flavor to food OR a time that's
characterized by a particular 
circumstance/situation in life!

NOW... that's some work for 
SUCH a simple word... seasons!

As in the days & weeks to follow... 

there's anticipation for more time to sit

quietly, to ponder & to be devoted on what lays near!

It looks to be another... season of life, up ahead,

one that will be saturated with ALL new things!

With the BOUNTY of autumn... & ALL

of God's promises, I'm grasping &

embracing ALL the newness of His will!

  JUST as in the labor of 

harvesting... there is sweat, blood & tears 

shed throughout certain... seasons of one's life!

I'm claiming the VICTORY over

all that happens to be coming... 

JUST as a farmer hopes for a PLENTIFUL

gathering come harvest time!

Well... friends, it's harvest time...
no matter the... season!

BLESSED evening... from my heart to YOURS!

A Deep LOVE For Worn Picks...

It will not

always be summer;

build barns.

- Hesiod

Good GRACIOUS... time surely doesn't
wait for anyone, even in the garden... it
seems to be in a ZIPPY hurry!
Especially when YOU have creative
projects JUST sitting about...
waiting for that PERFECT timing!

Well... honey, I'm a gardener's testimony, you've
gotta take hold & JUST create!
Those WEEDS will wait, they'll STILL
be there, don't you worry your PRETTY,
little apron to shreds about that one!

Oh, garden goodness...
do I create NOW, yes... it's pleasing to
the soul, to release... ALL these originals!

Sharing the DEEP love for ole' worn picks,
that have been transformed into garden
decor, NOT only for sight, BUT functional as well!

For several years now...
old, cake carriers have been my DEEP love!
And here recently... VINTAGE, metal/tin
bread boxes have wiggled into the
collection of goods, ALL for the
same purpose OR re-purpose project!

In EACH photo you can gain an
idea of what's being created to
result in one, TRULY delightful piece!

The possibilities are BEYOND
imaginable with THESE beauties!

THIS particular one, stole my heart...
with the color & patina it offered from
the get-go! BUT... I'm happy to announce,
it went to a LOVING home for a
farm table centerpiece... throughout
the summer months!

ANYTHING goes when it
comes to planting... I prefer to nestle & tuck
in annuals among perennials & herbs!

And for the LOVE of Succulents...
adding these will JUST enhance the
over-all, finished piece!
Oh... JUST a moment, Sedum was
almost forgotten... these are
known as 'Spillers' & add a WHIMSICAL
interest along the edge as they tumble
out along the container/planter!

NOW... unless you have some stashed
away OR happen to have Aunt Susie's, which
has seen it's better days... I suggest YOU get to
plundering about the JUNK shops,
THRIFT stores & swap meets... in order
to find that prized... cake carrier/bread box
for some time WELL SPENT in the garden!



Sunday BLESSINGS... from the farmhouse!
