Tuesday brightener... Autumn is here!

Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking successive autumns.

This week's Tuesday brightener was going to be the sequel to my pretty fabrics post, but... then I remembered today is the first day of fall and so the fabric got pushed back another week. (I figured it's already been a couple weeks, one more wouldn't hurt.) Because, really, what could be a better brightener this week than the arrival of my favorite season?
So, to brighten everyone's Tuesday, here's a glimpse of things to come. It's such a great time of year - I hope you embrace and enjoy all the beauty fall brings. Dig out your sweaters and blankets, bring home some mums, take a few walks to enjoy the changing leaves and then top it off with a cup of cider. (This recipe for Spiced Apple Cider from Victoria magazine sounds great if you're in the mood to try something a little different.)

I hope this little glimpse of the new season brightens your day. Ah, fall...
