Fall has arrived!!!

You wouldn't think so by the weather here in southern California though. It's been in the 80's & 90's all week. I really don't care for the heat. I prefer 70's or below.  :)  Cooler weather please come soon!

Fall has arrived... on the calendar and at my front door!

I participated in an fall (or Halloween) apron swap through Country Pleasures. My swap partner is Donna from Texas. She's a sweetheart with a wonderful blog. The package actually arrived Wednesday but this is the first time I've been able to sit down and write about it. Luckily I remember to grab my camera when it arrived. :)  

I was so excited! I opened the box and the first thing I found was a pumpkin! It was so light and SO COOL!

Here's a close-up of the top. Did you see the rolled up fabric for the stem? It's so cleaver!  :)

And now for the main part... Don't you just love the polka dots?!!! I do! And the PINK tulle ribbon! I love PINK!!!!  :)  I almost hated to open it... almost...

But wait! There's a card! Isn't it beautiful?!!! I love it and the colors! It's so gorgeous I might just have to frame it. The note was sweet!  :)

Enough already... on to the main attraction... I tore open the beautiful paper and found a gorgeous fall apron! I love the scalloped bottom!

Did you see the pocket? Don't you just love the fall leaf button attached?! Such detail!  :)

But wait... there's more! It's reversible! Yes two sides! Just like having two aprons in one! I'm a lucky girl!!! :)  More gorgeous fabric!

And another cute button on the pocket! This time it's a bee! 

Thank you so much Donna for the wonderful apron and pumpkin! I love them! It's so heart-warming to know that someone took the time to sit down and make something just for me! I love swaps! I love how they bring people together and the gifts aren't too bad either!  ;)

Donna... your apron is going out today! You should have it soon! I forgot to take a sneak peek picture before I packed it up. :(  I can't wait for her and everyone else to see it. I love the way it turned out!

I also have a mug rug swap that's going out to Angela today too! Sneak peek...

I can't wait to show that one to you either. I guess next week will be the big reveal of both of them.  :)

Have a Wondrous Weekend!

Until next time...
