"By all these lovely tokens
September days are here,
With summer’s best of weather
And autumn’s best of cheer."

~Helen Hunt Jackson

 

Hello from the Toymaker

The Seasons are Changing!

Every day brings something new.

 

 

I'm so excited to have cooler weather again. Soups, apple pie, sweaters are all on my wish list.

This summer has been busy, mostly arrainging to sell and donate the thousands of items from my parents' home, things my family no longer has need for. It was fun to see a lot of my old toys again. It's been an emotional journey going through so many memories, both happy and sad.

Now I'm enjoying the quiet before the holidays start lining up and cookie season starts.

Wishing you a creative week!
