The Inspired Home has inspired me. I have walked past some fall themed cookie cutters and molds several times in recent weeks. Enough! We are getting some. I have the garlands up but I want to get some seasonal towels and placemats. Actually we will likely make the mats. Seasonal fabric is cheap and turning the seams under with a running stitch would make excellent handwork. Yes, I am talking to myself…..
Anyway, these simple practices – switching out the linens and swapping the baking shapes seasonally- are easy customs to keep up. They also allow for lots of hands on work for little people. I far prefer to have our projects be worth doing than construction paper projects doomed for the circular file.
We love to do this, too ~ another way of marking the seasons and staying in touch, literally, with God’s rhythm of nature. &:o)
we, too, love the changing seasons and celebrate them by changing over the curtains, quilts and table linens in our home, as well as switching the nature table from summer to fall. We try to honor God’s perfect progression of the seasons and the beauty and mystery in His creation as summer folds into fall.
it’s such a wonderful time of year – we stay around home more, cook heartier, slow-cooking meals, and take the shift in our lives as a cue to reflect on how the Lord has changed us and brought us to where we are at this moment.
love your blog, btw
