Those dog days of August are nearing an end. Temperatures here in Stokes County have been nice and cool during the night, and this morning I woke up to a refreshing 62 degrees. Ahhhhh. Our crabapple tree already thinks that autumn is here; it has dropped most of its leaves which lay in a golden puddle against the still green grass. And while I am not necessarily enjoying the dusk settling in earlier and earlier and the days becoming shorter, I am not missing at all the repressive heat that we experienced for the last couple of months.
Here are a few of my favorite pre-autumn finds on Etsy. As always, follow the links for a closer view.
I simply love this sweet acorn-adorned bowl by TinaFrancisDesigns...
One of my favorite Etsian artists, AmberAlexander, who showcases lots of animals...
One of my favorite jewelers, kathiroussel, showcasing a to-die-for necklace. For those who are vintage lovers Kathi also has a wonderful vintage shop...
Ver cool and earthy Twig Earrings by SwanRiverStone...
Love this scarf with all its lovely fringe by none other than Fringe...
Thick, luxurious washcloths or dishcloths by Easy123. I have some of her work in both my kitchen and bathroom, and I strongly recommend these cloths if you want to get away from commercially made cloths or sponges...
Aren't these the sweetest hair adornments ever? By littlebrownbird...
And of course there has to be a bird here... this sculptural bird in a box by lorinichols... LOVE it!!
And these wonderful felted acorns, which you can also see in the opening photo. I'll be purchasing more from fairyfolk to continue adorning my twigs for my autumn table decoration.
Enjoy the end of summer, spend time in your garden or walking through the park, sing loudly, and celebrate love!
