October has ARRIVED...

"Come, little leaves," said the

wind one day.

"Come over the meadows with me

and play;

Put on your dresses of red and

gold

For summer is gone and the days

grow cold."

Poet: George Cooper

Let's put our hands together... the month
of October is HERE, YIPPPEEE!

For MANY it's a time of nesting,
a time for harvest & a time for CHANGE!

With October... brings SWEET
samplings of pumpkins, gourds... squash &
EVERYTHING straw-filled OR tucked!

I absolutely love the FRESHNESS of
straw OR hay (sage color stage)!
Lol... while in Texas this previous spring,
I was gifted some of the MOST
grandest, sage color hay to use along
the beaten down trails of shoppers & pickers, alike!
 Wellllll... wet area's OR not... I was sure to
be salvaging some of this fine material...
to nestle into ironstone,
concrete planters, barrels & other finds!

Annnd... don't think I didn't...
feverishly go about the place, after
2+ weeks of show... & scoop up
EVERY, dry shred that remained about
my booth area!  I STILL today...
use that MAGNIFICENT... little,
 sage color hay as if it were strands of gold!

LOL... with ALL that being said...
JUST make sure you have a bag
set aside for those simple, decorating touches!

Of course, NO matter the season...
October OR July... ironstone ALWAYS
steals the show... with ALL the well-worn
character it offers... from the crazing
to the dark, mishap chips, it's ALL desirable!

THIS little bowl... & it's FINE filler
of straw, PLUS... '3' hand-painted eggs
are up for offer over at the MarketPlace!

It's a OOAK... filled with TRUE simpleness!

And of ALL the colors among
the varieties of pumpkins... WHITE
wins over the soul... here you'll see...
where I've replica
the WHITE Lumina variety!

A NEW design for the '2015'
autumn season!

The gardener's take heart to these
ADORABLE, little shelf sitters!
Their ease of being tucked into a pot OR
other plant container spells the
attraction!

ALSO, a NEW design for '2015'!

Hoping THIS month of October...
brings YOU... the warmth of what
speaks to YOUR heart!

BLESSED evening... 

Home...

Home is the nicest word there is.

- Laura Ingalls Wilder

Good... September, autumn morning!
It looks to be a FINE day ahead...
with mildly temps & partly cloudy skies!

The days to come, will ONLY bring
along more welcoming symptoms of fall!
Decorated porches will be graced with
ALL the splendor... of muted hues,
comfy settings & plump pumpkins!

It's a GLORIOUS time of rejoicing...
for the BOUNTY of God's goodness!

BLESSED day... friends!

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!

HERE are the full details...

I TRULY look forward to seeing YOU...
AUTUMN blessings... 

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!
