Enjoying "Autumn's Charms"....
Wednesday, October 13, 2010
O.K..... Enough is enough. All I have been doing these last few weeks is working.....stenciling, sewing & packing up, lots & lots of pillows!...... Now I am very, very thankful for the business & to have such lovely clients.....& tomorrow I am thrilled to report that I will be completely caught up!.....
With that said though, I am in desperate need of a bit of "Autumn Charm"!.....
You know,.....
*pumpkins & falling leaves......
*afternoons spent cooking delicious chowders & soups....
* front porches sporting big pots of golden mums....
I want to think....
* "Halloween", about costumes & candy corn.....
& *baking as many apple desserts as one family can handle!.....

And above all, I want this time of year to slow down.....just a little.
I want to savor each moment of Autumn.....
I am deliberately clearing my calendar, so this season doesn't slip by without me noticing.....And it feels incredible!....Like many of you I am a "pleaser", always taking on more than I can possibly do,...not wanting to say "no" or "disappoint" anyone...
but I have come to the conclusion that for a few weeks I will be a little selfish with my time,.... & do what I want,
& if that means sitting, sipping hot cider, reading magazines & watching the leaves fall.... then I'm doing it!

Hi Heidi!
I hope you have a wonderful time relaxing and enjoying time off! Being a pleaser can be exhausting if you are not careful to take time for yourself!
Enjoy the Autumn Charms!! :)

You go girl!! Heidi, you just take some time for yourself! I was reading your post and I realized this could be me writing it, I am a "pleaser" to and I need to take some time for myself also! Thanks for the inspiration!! Enjoy!
Amazing pictures. Is that your stove? I love fall but, here is Southern California it kind of was warm.
