I'm missing the Pumpkin Party!

It can't be helped, but it still bums me out. 
But just so YOU don't miss the party, here are the details:

PAFA (Primitive and Folk Artists Etsy Team) is celebrating the arrival of Autumn with a celebration!  "Strolling Through The Pumpkin Patch With PAFA" is the result of lots of hard work on these artists' part and some lucky winners and shoppers will definitely benefit.
   

There are lots of incredible Autumn Artworks on Etsy from PAFA members, made and listed especially for this celebration.  Just click on the picture link above to shop this mini fair.  (Or if you get lost, just search STTPP in the Etsy tags). The PAFA Blog has a monster giveaway going on as well!  Sixteen (at last count) items donated from the various team artists.  So click on the link below and go sign up!

  

Tuesday's Treasury

In the nine months or so I've had an Etsy shop, I've only made one other treasury.  But I was really new then, and they didn't have the cool feature that told all those people who'd been included THAT they'd been included.  So you had a lot of extra work to do, letting everyone in on the secret.  Not so these days.  SOOO to that end, I made another one.  Partly because I have been enjoying the recent introduction to a lot of primitive folk artists, and partly because I'm fed up with summer and jonesing for Fall, big time.

The other day, I noticed the tiniest bit of autumn scenting the early morning air, and told the hubs "Fall is on its way!"  He looked at me with that way he has; "Um, dear, the thermostat says it's 80 degrees out at 5:30 in the morning.  What makes you think Fall is going to arrive soon?" 

And I could only fall back on the reply I used to give my kids when I could think of nothing better: "Because I said so!"  Enjoy the folkart, and if you find something you really like, share the love!  (I personally plan to buy some candles...soon.)

Because I said so!
