Color Color Everywhere!

Oh it is Autumn in the Midwest and it is beautiful!
So with that here are some of the wonderful handcrafted items to relish in this lovely time of year. Enjoy!
How about topping off your favorite bottle of Havest wine with this Beautiful
Tulipwood Acorn Style Wine Bottle Stopper . Here is a description from MapleSeedGallery on Etsy "Tulipwood Bottle Stopper, with acorn textured design. Made with high quality natural cork. A great gift for the wine enthusiast (or for yourself). Also great for most salad dressing cruets, or other standard sized bottles.Hand rubbed french polish style finish. Handcrafted (woodturned) in Canada by Irwin Seidman.About the wood: Tulipwood is a pinkish-yellow colour with very prominent stripes ranging from pink to dark red. The species is found on the Eastern side of North America and also in some parts of China. In the United States, it is commonly known as tulip poplar or yellow poplar, even though the tree is not related to the poplars. In fact, the reference to poplar is thought to be as a result of the tree's height, which can exceed 100 feet."

Here are some beautiful note cards with signs of the Season. By RabbitWiskers on Etsy From the listing "
The "package" consists of five blank white notecards and envelopes, measuring 5.25" x 7.25", allowing lots of room for note writing. Centered on the cover of each notecard is a beautiful glossy, 4" x 6" photo of one of my scenes. Each pack will contain 5 different photos,the first 4 you see pictured & a fifth of my choice; a free surprise! I have tried to group them as being in some way related, so if desired, they can be framed and hung on a wall, rather than used for note writing"
This one is a Hoot! yeah... I went there. I sweet dish towel to hang out for the season. They make great Hostess gifts too! Woodland Owls Dishtowel Dress
by Klosti on Etsy. From shop
"This cutie has an off-white plush terry towel skirt printed with a whimsical tree and two owls on its branches. Her coordinating cotton top is a rust and gold window pane check. This dish towel dress has the same design on the front and back- one side for every day and flip for a clean and fresh look for company. She measures 9” at the shoulders, 18 1/2” long, and has velcro closures at the waist that make it easy to hang over your oven handle, dishwasher handle or even your bathroom towel bar. She's good looking and practical!"
