Brynwood Needleworks

 I managed to get quite a bit accomplished yesterday. I said I had "chores"

and I wasn't kidding. After dusting and running the vacuum cleaner, I

decided to do a little tidying up in the kitchen for good measure.

A few days ago, I needed my pie dish to try a new recipe. I remembered

that I have this wonderful dish with - of course! - acorns adorning it.

 It's been sitting on the counter since after dinner cleanup that night. I just

hated the thought of putting it back in the cupboard where it wouldn't

 be seen. I thought about it for a while and came up with a perfect solution.

 I decided to pretty up the space above our range. Nothing fancy.

Just a nice warm touch of wood in place of a bare, white wall.

 Now, I'll be able to look at my acorn pie plate every time I prepare

something tasty for our family. The added bonus is a little touch of autumn 

decor as we move into our own version of cool weather here in south

Florida. It might get all the way down to 60º overnight. I'm a happy girl.

What do you do to celebrate the seasons? I'd love to know.
