goodbye summer, hello fall

September always marks the changing of seasons for me...
the leaves begin to change colors
there's a chill in the air in the evenings
and i'm usually scrambling to find a cozy sweater to wrap around me.

we just began our cool-down here.  it has been so hot up until a couple of days ago.  the other day, i was craving to get crafty and decided to make a new wreath for the front door.
i didn't want your typical fall wreath, probably because bright orange is my least favorite color. i decided to go more subtle, plus i couldn't pass up the burlap flowers when i saw them! i ended up not using the pine cones either.
it was simple, fun and makes me happy seeing it when i walk through the front door.
