Getting Ready For The End Of Summer

Summer is nearly over but I'm not willing to let go.  The older I get the less and less I like winter. It's not that I mind the cold,  it's the short gray days and and the early nights. I need sunshine in order to survive!

I've been working on some displays for craft shows this fall. It's been about 20 years since I did one, so I really want to do this right.

Some things about fall that I do like are the acorns, color leaves and pine cones.  So, I collected some acorns and I'm painting them to scatter on my table display. Just using nail polish! 

I'm eager to try another idea for winter... bleaching pine cones! I think they will be very pretty as table scatter for a Christmas show. I'll post how they turn out.
