Falling......



               I'm not alone in my thinking about this summer and wanting it to be over, already! I really try to savor each season and enjoy the best they have to offer, but this summer goes down in the record books as one of the hottest and most humid ones, since 1954 here. So, yes, I'm ready for fall. I can't help it, I'm just not as tough as I used to be. I've noticed on many blogs, others have had it with summer too so I don't feel so bad. I"m ever so grateful for air conditioning and pray it can keep up.

      Hobby Lobby had their fall goodies out a month ago when we were in the big city, even bringing out Christmas decorations, now that's rushing it a bit, but I get it that places like that must be early for all of us crafters who think and plan ahead.  Just the other day, my fall china arrived, that's it pictured above. My hubby didn't understand why I wanted more dishes, or why I needed some for each season. Men, just don't get it, but I reminded him that I use all my china and like to change it up accordingly, do I dare tell him, my next set will be Christmas china? lol

      I couldn't pass this set up, I got it from Seventh Avenue, a nifty catalog that let's you make payments on their products, allowing my budget a treat now and then. So, a girl like me, can enjoy the fine things in life and pay as I go! lol  I feel in love at first sight and I'm falling for fall.............bon fires, cool nights, crisp mornings, pumpkins, hot cocoa and sweater season!

    As much as I complain about the snow & cold I am embarrased to say I agree with you. We have run AC so much that I can only imagine how much the electricity bill will be. I just would like a bit less humidity & temperatures in the mid 70's!!
    I not only have heard of but in past years I have purchased things from Seventh Avenue. Good Company to deal with!!
    Have a Wonderful Day!!
    Love,

  4. Fall sounds so wonderful right now. All this humidity is just too much. I went out to feed the cats at 6:45 this morning and it was already hot out there!

    What a pretty set of dishes, Sue! You are going to love using those. And thanks for the link, too.

  5. I love the dishes, Sue but I just can't wish away summer. That means I have to go back to school and I am just not ready for that yet!

  6. GREAT dishes, Sue!! I've made many trips into Hobby Lobby lately with planning my folks celebration and I admit to being caught off guard by all the Fall items...and most certainly the Christmas. I try to savor every season. Today is over 100° and I may be about ready to move on, lol!

    Blesssings!

  7. I too am ready for fall. These long, hot, and humid days are taking a tole on me. I pray that it cools soon and that we get some rain to release the humidity. Hope you have a great weekend! Blessings

  8. My catalog is supposed to be on the way, and I just might have to get me some fall dishes too. I just love these and they'd fit in so well with some of my other vintage brown dishes. Thanks for sharing your source dear friend! Gosh we have so much in common.
