A good cup of coffee and
sun shadows through lace curtains
is a very fine way
to start one's day.
Fall is, once again,
on the horizon and
it feels as if it is easier to breathe.
It is still warm but
only to the point of being comfortable.
The time will come again
when the weather will be the
most complained about subject
but, for now,
it feels like perfection
to me.
I started this post on Sunday and
that's how it was.
It is also the
same this morning
but...

in the time between.
A torrential downpour
on Monday morning.
Just keeping it real!

It seems like yesterday
that I picked these hydrangeas
from the garden and
placed them in the guest room
along side of a little pumpkin
that I made from

...in reality, however,
it was almost one year ago and
now they have dried to perfection and
sit, once again,
in the same spot.
A sharp reminder of
how quickly

it was almost one year ago and
now they have dried to perfection and
sit, once again,
in the same spot.
A sharp reminder of
how quickly
time passes.
Today,
this is the bush
that those hydrangeas were picked from.
You can see the difference
in the color and the texture now
as compared to
one year ago.
Still beautiful,
still perfection although different.
Picked and arranged
in an old jar,
we will see how they dry this year.
It is only a story that
time will tell.
I have added
a very little fall decoration
to the dining room.
A few bright faux leaves
mixed into the ever present
yarn and twig wreath and...
...two pitchers of
more drying hydrangeas
with an old crow and
a trio of pantry boxes.
The reason being
is that I am using the dining room table
as my painting station and
I am not neat and tidy
when I paint.
Since Bitty Morsel and Miss Gertie
are delivering a wagon load of
autumn delicacies to the Harvest Market,
I decided to question them
about the goings on this year
Between the Moonlight and the Majic.
They were quick to inform me
that the Cottage Witch would
probably not be
returning to the Cottage this year.
It only seems like yesterday
that she was here last and
her time is being taken up now
with new projects and pursuits.
She may make one return visit
but, then again,
maybe not.
Sometimes "perfection" must be
protected and preserved!
I don't have a new Santa
to show this week
as I am waiting on a new pattern book.
But, rest assured,
you are not off the hook quite yet.
There will be more over time.
Here is a small peek
of a new project
that is being worked on right now.
Have a wonderful week!
...Judy...
And in the meantime
my wish for you is
a good cup of coffee and
morning sunshine.
