Autumn Gold

Our Golden Ginkgo Tree - Spectacular when backlit by early morning or late afternoon sun. 

The leaves will soon drop, and will drop rapidly and form a golden carpet around the tree.

Golden Maple Leaves

"I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers."

            L.M. Montgomery

Leaves are falling ...

“The simple things of life are best. An hour of sweet solitude, a cluster of bright yellow mums, the call of quail in the meadow. It doesn’t take much to please us. Our elusive goal after another makes us hurry by some beautiful times. It seems autumn will stand still while we do other things. The trees lose their colorful leaves and they are no less pretty, but to see them in all their phases is even better.”

Autumn

 "Is not this a true autumn day? Just the still melancholy that I love that makes life and nature harmonize."

Mini Round Leather Journal In A Tin - Kodak Film Reel Canister

I created this Mini Round / Circular Soft Leather Journal with Stab Binding using hemp cord, storing it in a Vintage Kodak film reel canister. After selecting, resizing and printing images onto handmade printable Lokta papers they were cut using a Sizzix Framelits 3.5 inch Die Cut. I used the same Die Cut to cut the leather cover. Journal measures 3.5 inch diameter and 1 inch thick with 100 pages. I printed the variety of pages using digitals I purchased from an Etsy shop called "ArtHouseWhimsy" to create a movie, photo, film reel theme. Mini whimsical charms added.
