Autumn at BG Cabin

It feels a lot like Fall today


The trees are changing................................................

Coming down the driveway I noticed some trees are already bare.

These are old woods surrounding us. Luckily no one has cut em all down yet. Believe it or not we are 

surrounded by other houses...much older homes...ours was built in 93' There should be many more trees around us, but that is a long story and way too icky...suffice it to say if I do a post it will be entitled

'American Dream.....Nightmare on Main St. USA'

Breath....shudder....sigh.

This is a close up of the bottom corner of the above pic. That is my 1969 Shwinn..yes....my 50 yr old bike.

It seems frozen in time....no... really...it is. It's rusted in that position..LOL

 This is my stand of little Sassafras Trees. There used to be many, many, more of theses in the surrounding woods, but some have been taken out by storms and neighbors. I love their fall color. 

And, this is the bottom of the drive.

I have been getting out some of my decorations for outside...............

This throw I use makes me sad this year.......it's Cades Cove in  Townsend Tn. It's one of the parks closed in the Smokies.. Sad thing is some folks live right up in it on one side. It's has one of the few organized Volunteer groups that help tend it....have no idea why it's closed except for the idiots that get out of vehicles to chase bears...yes...chase bears....then wonder why they get chased back or mauled....

and it's the bear's fault. 

Rule #1 see a bear...stay in car...return to car....quickly. 

Rule # 2 do not give bear apple, candy, sandwich

Have You Never Seen Yogi Bear!!!

Hope you're having a great Autumn Day!
Don't forget to see a recap of Rednesday Wednesday Here
and on this Autumn day I'm visiting the ColoradoLady for Vintage Thingy Thursday

Autumn Rednesday

Hello Everyone! Happy Rednesday! 

It's Autumn at the Brown Gingham Cabin

It's been so nice here in Ohio, but a cold front is moving in and should bring more typical Oct. weather....cooler temps....clouds...rain....

Oh well, as long as it's not 30's and wet snow showers....which can also be Ohio Autumn. 


This isn't my pic, but I found it at 
http://lesley-oldaker.deviantart.com/art/First-snow-on-Autumn-Leaves-334763137
Isn't this beautiful. check our Lesley's other artwork. It is really something.
But, this pic is very similar to what our woods looks like behind the BG Cabin or
at Sharon Woods...it's magical.

Enough of weather. Let's have happy thoughts...
It's Rednesday! I'm so thrilled you came by. It's getting soooo close to the Witching Hour, why not get this party

Now, is everyone comfy? Great. This Rednesday I wanted to share some new Autumn Designs the are available and some new pages I added to the BGC Blogspot.

I recently added a page that is full of stitchery magic....................

  Needlework and Embroidery Encyclopedia. If you thought embroidery was just straight stitches or lazy daisy loops, Well this page has hundreds of thready flourishes that are astounding and gives the how-to's to create them. Not only that it explains different fabrics used in all needlecraft and the whole site is a veritable wonderland for Fabric and Paper Artists.

You really need to fly over and create your own magic. Go Here

I have also added another new page on the BGC Blog.............

Apronation Blog and Vintage Inspired Designs. 

It is dedicated to the 'collecting, preserving, wearing, and creating vintage and vintage inspired aprons. This is also where you will also be able to purchase my one-of-a-kind apron designs'

Seems I get lost on Etsy...even doing ads....so, I was inspired by a few other fellow Blog Sellers to strike out on my own and try my own marketing with my own Blogs.

You'll also find a link page  to....................................................

                    Brown Gingham Cabin Shoppe

My business website. Where you'll finds vintage inspired fabric creations to purchase.....more amazing info textile sites.........

I have been working on some new designs for my Cabin Shoppe

for Fall too.............................................................................

I created these 4 placemats combining a vintage 1950's tablecloth and beautifully patterned papers..................................................

Here's a close-up. I hand-cut the papers and hand-embroidered the duck medallions in the centers. Each medallion is different and these are 2-sided...the backs are a full sheet of floral paper...if you don't want a fowl motif on the table........ok...ok..I warned you it's Halloween.

They are sealed in acetate and water proof. They will be available on my website asap for $34.99 a set. If you want to know more just leave a message.

I found this cute 1960's sofa throw pillow and this perfectly plastic candle ring.....viola' a simple Autumn centerpiece.

And meet, Flora, my Autumn Angelic Inspiration. Her skirt is a 1960's hankie I hand-embroidered and accented by more of those plastic candle ring flowers.

Takin a Walk Around the Mall

Well, the rain has stopped, but the next 12 hours will have storms heading right for us from Iowa and Nebraska....thank goodness the winter weather won't make it this way...seems the hurricane in the gulf will bring warm temps....phew Seems October in Ohio can go from rain to snow in a blink,so once the cold front comes thru  Sunday it could be...uhg...shiver.....I will not think about that 4 letter word. I will take a walk in the mall............

They have gotten vendors together and created whimsical  displays

Vendors booths are 

chocked full of

goodies.

Look at this booth! All that pink would look mix and match on a table of browns and grays for Fall, gorgeous with silver for Christmas, then with purples, greens and muaves for Spring 

Sigh........Oh to have enough $$$$ and a room to store dishes and other things just for tablescapes.

Couldn't you imagine those dishes used here.....................

In it's cute little kitchen

Okay I cannot help myself......retro interior design with modern appliances of course...only they have to look vintage too....hmmmmmm

Well, It's Pink Saturday I think I'll stroll over thru HERE
