ReplyDeleteBeautiful. My daughter has one of those coffee carafs.
ReplyDeleteI marvel at your way with words and your ability to find beautiful illustrations of your words, and then to find the perfect music. I don't envy your abilities - although I should. I simply appreciate knowing you and that you share this loveliness with
ReplyDeleteAnita, love the music and those gorgeous leaves of gold! I hope all is well with you and your classes are going well.
ReplyDeleteCan you believe it's October already? Where does the time go? Thank you for freezing a beautiful moment for us, that we can
visit often.

Hello Anita - I love you music it has created an autumnal atmosphere. Your opening poem to the falling gold leaves says it beautifully
ReplyDeleteHave a golden weekend

Bonjour chère Amie, je vois que l'automne t'inspire...La mode, la déco automnale, et de jolies tables avec au menu de douces créations culinaires....L'automne et sa douceur, l'automne et les feuilles mortes qu'on ramasse à la pelle...Chez toi elles sont couleurs or et sont accompagnées d'une ravissante musique...Merci pour ce merveilleux post à bientôt

Beautiful Anita,soon it will be time for making my Jams and preservesjust need some apples hehe,some pumking dishes and my special christmas cake,and then it will be the count down to christmas!October a beautiful time of year!xx Rachel and Speedy
ReplyDeleteIt is my favorite month of the year. France isn't quite the same as autumn in the NE though. How I miss apple and pumpkin picking! Have a good weekend my dear Anita!
ReplyDeleteNice one Anita. October is our Spring time...and also the month that I age another year. Love the window scene. Just beautiful. xx
ReplyDeleteHELLO VICKI! Anita
DeleteBeautiful and scrumptious are words that come to mind! That tan bag with the gold chain against the dusty blue coat is wonderful and just the kind of look I would like this autumn. The music is perfect, and I love the golden leaves and the flowers. Thank you for sharing so much gorgeousness dear Anita you bring sunshine into my life. xx
ReplyDeleteLovely Anita! We hope all is well in your world? Love Fall, it is the best time of the year. We have been having very mild weather which is a bonus and of course the squirrels are out. Have a fabulous Friday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
What a true and beautiful thought. Fall is the time for gathering in against the cold and winter to come. Bounty, gold falling to the ground and settling in glorious random patterns of colors and shapes. Loved the music. A lovely way to start the day.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Anita. You captured the magic of Oct. It really is what I all the cozy season, falling leaves, wonderful sweaters, football games, fires burning, pumpkin and apple picking, I mean does it get any better? Does a brisk walk ever feel as good as it does on a cool fall day? Not for me. I love it and October is indeed a month that has all those things:) I always feel happier reading one of your posts!
ReplyDeleteEnchanting, my Dear. What a wonderful way to start a morning. I loved it.Thank you for sharing your gifts.
ReplyDeleteThank You Dear Anita for the warm fun visions of Oct. Yes, I've always thought of My new fashions in the Fall. It reminds Me of back to school and- oh dear what will I wear this year : ) Your thought of gold falling from the sky-I will cherish.Love ad hugs-Denise
ReplyDelete~ Ahhh October's gifts....LOVE, LOVE and LOVE some more this beautiful post....~ The picture with the leaves falling is wonderfully captivating.... I am off to have another peek! Happy Friday lovely Anita! Hugs Maria x
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! I love the thought of gold falling from the sky!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful autumn post...and the music is great !!!...lovely weekend darling...love Ria...x !
ReplyDeleteTrès beau, très automnal, un peu nostalgique, et la musique est bien choisie. C'est parfait, Anita. J'aime bien la dernière image, avec les feuilles qui tombent... Bon weekend. Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)

Anita dear-I got so busy sharing this on google+ and FB that I remembered to come back and comment on this autumnal beauty.
ReplyDelete"Gold falling from the sky"-an image that will linger with me all season.
I added you to my 'blog crushes' pinterest board.
Happy Weekend!
xx, Heather
Breathtaking...gold from the sky.
ReplyDeleteAlways like breathing beauty stopping by.
Guess who?
:)
oh my you do inspire!
ReplyDeleteperfect for me as we leave in a few hours on the ferry to visit family for Canadian Thanksgiving!
Oh, Anita I LOVE that last image...Autumn has certainly arrived here in London :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous post, as always...have a fabulous weekend.
xx
Such a warm and heartfelt post ANITA! I want to cozy up and nest :) That first dress is gorgeous and the creamy apron with the ruffles is darling. The tables.. they are perfectly set and I love the warm glow:) So glad you finally had a moment to write us a post. I know your schedule has been crazy;) I'm off today and have a long list of errands ahead. It's a cloudy, rainy day here in Seattle so I'll be layering up! Enjoy the weekend ahead:) xxleslie
ReplyDeleteI want to be where the last image is...even in the rain...this comes from a drought stricken land. But, the next time I sit down to pancakes with fruit on them, I will be thinking about Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy!!! (go figure) Beautiful as always, sweet Anita!
ReplyDeleteWONDERFUL Anita! Awh, October does have it's great points. I shy away from making major life changing decisions in October because each time I did, I landed in the hospital. So there ya go. LOL
ReplyDeleteBut yes October does have the warmth in the home and the chill outside that is just a bit enough to still wear flats without socks and a light jacket of fun. For me, here in Utah, Winter starts on November 1st. Until then October is Autumn to me.
Hug! ♥
Just lovely! The laurel crown you saw in the post was actually made by me. So if you can keep searching. I hope to find one someday. Wishing you a gorgeous day filled with gold.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Nancy
Absolutely gorgeous images. We had our first rain this week and it was so refreshing. Such a relief from the scorching sun.
ReplyDeleteAnita, this epitomises my favourite time of year perfectly my friend. A gathering time. Harvest, firewood, warmth, blankets, coats, friends, love, all the things that will comfort us through the dark time. I love, love, love autumn and winter and I grow to realise this more every year. I'm excited, you have stirred my soup dear friend.
ReplyDeleteMuch love.
Di
xoxoxo
I associate many good memories with the fall. The heyday of large family gatherings on Thanksgiving, eating, reminiscing, and laughing together. Then, getting up, moving (as best we could) to another gathering of family and friends, to do it all over again. The concentric circles (to use your term) of the generations each having contributed, contributing, and yet to contribute their part.
ReplyDeleteLove
Ruben
Beautiful as always and the music is so soothing!!
ReplyDeleteThe gold falling flakes,gorgeous!

I love your Autumn post today, Anita. The picture of the two girls was cute and reminded me of Jess and Nel. The table setting is lovely and makes me think of Thanksgiving. Please tell me those are cherry pancakes - cherries are my favorite fruit! I love all the great fashions in the Fall too. You have all my favorite things on here today. I actually had a tear when I saw the picture of the leaves falling down. I guess it's because this season is so magical to me. What a special and wonderful picture this is.
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend, dear Anita.
Love,

Beautiful Tyer Knot,

Evening from the freezing cold, wet and windy UK. Rather frustratingly, I read blogs on the iPad but then it often crashes when I try to comment.
ReplyDeleteGRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
Loved this post (when haven't I loved your posts!!) and I am doing my best to welcome Autumn with open arms, but it's so hard as my heart is heavy for summer.
I love the photos you use and it's true, you do inspire us all.
Hope you and Reuben are well and happy.
Gem x x
And.....its All so BEAUTIFUL Anita!!! My favorite kind of gold too! Thank you!!!
ReplyDeleteI am soooo happy to finally open my kitchen window, now that the Arizona weather has been so inviting!
Have a lovely weekend!
Hugs and blessings coming your way!

Once again coming by to say million time thank you,Anita!

Have a beautiful weekend,dear friend!

love the music + all the photos. xxpeggybraswelldesign.com
ReplyDeleteI loved the first quote, and the last statement, too. We aren't at the gold falling point yet, but there are subtle changes and finally, cooler weather. Loved this.
ReplyDeletexo,

October, my favorite month! Nothing like Autumn in New England as I know you know. All the activities you listed are my favorites as well. Such lovely images especially the falling leaves.
ReplyDeleteHappy October Anita! Two absolutely stunning posts...I love the thought of gold falling from the sky! xo, Nathalie
ReplyDeleteHello Anita,
ReplyDeleteOh, I love that..."gold falling from the sky." It's one of my favorite times of the year for sure. I need to get out and take some photos of the beautiful foliage...I so love doing that. Such a beautiful post. Some of the images look like your home. So pretty.
Have a cozy weekend!
Heidi
Good morning, Anita...what a lovely tribute to this beautiful time of year! I especially love the last photo!!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!! xoxo
Anita, good morning!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to be able to enjoy and read such a beautiful post on this grey morning.
You are so right, autum is the only time gold falls from the sky....and the beauty of the falling leaves, pine cones and acorns rejuvenates my soul.
I am never more happy than at this time of the year!
I hope your classes are going well! Take care and have a fabulous weekend.
Xxoo Elizabeth
Anita, not only was it wonderful to hear your voice again, but to see your warm smile pop up on my comments...priceless. I cannot get too far from blogland, can I? :) Nothing like the encouragement of our blogging friends. No one could understand this unless they have been a part of it. I'm glad I took the time to help my husband set up our office and now I can go back to being part of this special place with a much clearer mind. It was actually like a birthday gift because I never saw it coming. I thought this time was for good.
ReplyDeleteI'm off to celebrate my VERY PINK 50th. I'll share more soon.
Have a lovely Saturday, friend.
xoxoxo
I look forward to these post!! The floral arrangements are gorgeous, the music enchanting!! I love rhubarb, so that dessert...yummo!
ReplyDeleteThanks my amazingly talented blogger friend for another post well done!!
October...from you, it is with us so soft and sweet!
ReplyDeleteI feel so blessed that we met this year, Anita!
Enjoy your weekend!

Beautiful post Anita dear. Love the music with this post. The flowers are gorgeous, along with the Falling leaves. xoxo Linda
ReplyDeleteLet it fall! Let it fall!!! Sending you warmth and lots of love throughout this glorious month!!
ReplyDeleteCiao ciao,
Loi
This pushed me right over the edge into the blissful feeling of fall, even though we don't feel it yet here in Texas. I'm yearning for the cool air and the fresh smells of autumn...
ReplyDeleteHi Anita, That bouquet is so pretty. And your living room is divine. I could see myself in there! So happy Fall is here, yet it is still hot here in TX. It is wonderful to catch up with you again. Lots of love.... d
ReplyDeleteDear Anita,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful words and love that line - the only time we see gold fall from the sky.
Sending you warm hugs and wishing you a wonderful Autumn weekend ~ enjoy all the beauty.
love Carolyn
I love the magic you create Anita, so beautiful to my bleary Sunday eyes.
ReplyDeleteLovely.....
ReplyDeleteGold falling from the sky, how beautifully put ma belle. Autumn is beautiful here on Golden Pond, a freshness in the crisp morning air, the crunch of fallen leaves under your feet, pushing the tank tops to the back of the closet and shining last years favorite boots. Such a relief from the hot days of summer.
ReplyDeleteHow are you Anita?? It sounds like you are busy busy busy but doing what you love. That's a great feeling. I'm constantly busy these days with things and people I love. What more could I ask for? I feel so blessed mon amie. So happy to be on Golden Pond with the love of my life and 2 ornery pups!
Tell Rubin I said hello & send my blessings.
Bisous, Edie Marie
Beautiful my friend. Those pancakes with the berries have made me hungry. I might have to go and make some. :)
ReplyDeleteHugs to you.
I love Octobers...
ReplyDeletemy only child,
my dear son was October-born.
And I love the cold nights
that accompanies this month.
Those are gorgeous images
and lovely thoughts.
Thanks.
Anita,
ReplyDeleteI always savor the images and words you share with us .
I am delightfully whisked into enchantment right from the start ,
always such a treat !
I hope you are having a wonderful Sunday ,

Hello dearest Anita!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is SO true!!!! October is the only time you can look up and see gold falling..... I love autumn!!!!
How was your weekend?
I bought a coat at Anthropologie!!!! It has a fur collar. I'll put a photo up of it on my next blog post.....
Hope school is going great!!!!
Love & Hugs,

Anita,
ReplyDeleteLiving in Philadelphia we are privileged to have beautiful painted leaves, crisp days, cool nights. Much like the beauty in your area. October is always a magical month for me and I see for you too. Your post is inspiring and fall full of promise.
Enjoy the essence and beauty of nature.
Vera
Hi there, Anita! What a beautiful post! Isn't October just the most beautiful month ever??! I've been pulling on my boots and loving it! October is the month of my wedding anniversary also, so it's extra-special.
ReplyDeleteHow is your work going? You have been on my mind a lot. Sending you warm, cozy well-wishes!

I envy everyone in the north country in the fall. Just about the only time I do though...Florida has gorgeous weather, most of the year, just not July-October. Although it has cooled down to mid to high 80's from low 90's...that's OUR sign that fall is here. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous images, Anita, especially that last one...could look at it for ages.
It's so nice to chat with you! I'm glad school is going well. Our ivy hasn't turned yet, but we haven't had a frost yet either.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your visit. I posted late last night-- snuck it in while my kiddos were getting ready for bed. Enjoy your week!!
Keri
I wish it were real gold falling from the sky, them many troubles would be solved. Or ...perhaps started? We never know what money will do to a person. I'd be willing to try though.
ReplyDeleteGlad to have been a ray of sunshine for you today. You ALWAYS make me feel loved and good! Thank you, sweet Anita!
Dearest Anita, sorry to come so late to this gorgeous new post. October is a lovely month and you've captured the magic. Have been in Austria, because my dad is very sick and might be dying ... Sad times for me and my family, bit life is a circle and this os part of it as well. Am grateful for all i have learned so far, that makes is easier, to accept things, as they are. Wishing you a lovely day and evening and sending you love!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos, Anita. My favorite is the one through the window looking at the beautiful candlelit dinner. Hope you are enjoying school. Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeletethe only thing lovelier than gold falling from the sky in fall is silver in the form of ice and snow during the winter...love this music...thanks for such a sweet online friendship Miss Anita...you are a precious soul!
ReplyDeleteGold falling from they sky! Anita, that is simply gorgeous! And love that photo that goes with it. You always find the most amazing things to share. I'm at my writing retreat this week so wish me luck with the novel. And sending you so much inspiration in your poetry, though clearly you know exactly where to find it (and how to share it).
ReplyDeleteBisous, Kirsten
You have such a gift for artistically opening my heart, removing the contents and replacing them again, mixed with the beauty you have created.
ReplyDeleteThank you, my friend.

*Sigh* Anita... This is heaven... :) xv
ReplyDeleteHi my sweet friend!
ReplyDeleteJust thought I'd pop by and say hello! Hope you had a good weekend.
How's your weather...we are back to nice temps again...going to be in the 60's this week.

Oh Anita that gold from the sky.....sigh......I do love Autumn.....you have portrayed this season so beautifully! We are half way through Spring but you would think we were back in Autumn with our crazy weather!!! Wishing you lots of cozy nights as you head into Winter.....Many Blessings to you Sweet Friend....Love Dzintra xoxo
ReplyDeleteHi my dear friend!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry that I haven't been able to make it before now. Lots going on on the homefront. However, let's talk about the beauty in this post, they type of beauty that gives one a wonderful reprieve from all their troubles. Gorgeous post my sweet. Happy new week to you. xx
I doubt anyone can express the mood of October any better than this. It is my favorite month of autumn. Thank you for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your visit, Anita! Yes, I'm enjoying the writing retreat. Letting go and letting loose in my writing is always so hard for me. Let me know if you have any good exercises for that. Bonne nuit ma petite! Xoxo, Kirsten
ReplyDeleteI love October and yours is magical...Dearest Anita, since we've just celebrated our Canadian Thanksgiving, I would like to thank you for being such an inspiration to me. Sending you a big warm hug. Enjoy the falling gold...
ReplyDeleteStunning, dear one! Now that is the gold of dreams... :) How beautiful....only you could bring such poetic eloquence and magic...that moon image....wow....the gorgeous white room with the beams looks like your home!!
ReplyDeleteLove you! Je t'embrasse fort...
And sending a bisous to Sylvia too... :))
Que ton mois d'octobre est beau ! C'est avec bonheur que l'on sort de l'armoire son manteau si chaud couleur marron glacé pour moi mais j'aime le vert tendre de tes photos... et la musique légère et aérienne du piano... on est bien chez toi. Douce soirée et des bises
ReplyDeleteI often read your posts and think how beautifully you capture the moment - this one inspired me to comment - the dreamy music complimented the pictures perfectly - how clever of you to find that piece. best autumn wishes.
ReplyDeleteoh Anita! THAT is EXCITING news! But I have to say, 'why is that university consistently yanking their chain?' That would be stress enough for me. dang people. I will give it a rest knowing Ruben is still gainfully employed. Yipppppeeee! THANK YOU for your sweet compliments on my smile. Would you believe that when I smile I don't realize I am? It is true, it just happens. lol ♥
ReplyDeleteBonjour dear friend!
ReplyDeleteWhen I found the song in French, I thought of you.. So happy you enjoyed.
Oh yes, please do... There is no place like Nowhere..

Anita! Thank you for stopping by my newborn page and gracing it with your encouraging words. It's always good to visit with you, friend. Yes, stay fabulous is my newest post-50 goal...fabulous...almost impossible to believe...just like mike blogging friends.

DeleteYou have been such a busy woman! Enjoy your evening dear friend.
ReplyDeletebisous!
Thanks for your visit, Anita! And for your advice. Yes, so important to do that freewriting, free of any editing, critiquing, just keeping the hand and pen moving. Anne Lamott calls them 'sh**ty first drafts' and we all have them. It's from there that you begin polishing the gems. But we all want to think we can start from perfection which gets in our way. I'm on my way home today heading down the beautiful Oregon coast in gorgeous sunshine. Looking forward to the drive. Maybe I'll keep my notebook handy for frequent stops along the way. A lovely weekend to you, my dear!
ReplyDeleteAnita, thank you friend. Seeing your warm smile right after I posted this very daring post was enough for me to know it's okay to BE ME. You know how I don't share too many pics of myself or my loves, but I think it was time to get a message out there that was burning in my heart.
ReplyDeleteI love you, Anita fairest. Thank you for all your support.
MUAH!!
MARCIA!! ;)
What a lovely thought - to see gold falling from the sky! While I much prefer that huge gold orb of summer, I do love fall, the chill in the air and the change of clothing and food. Just wish it didn't have to lead into a long winter!! You always inspire with your fabulous images and thoughts. Hope all is wonderful with you and yours!
ReplyDeleteI love how you did the reverse image of the moon, clouds, and stars on your blog banner. Truly exquisite!
ReplyDeleteAnd the divine music from Pride and Prejudice, which I recently watched for the first time with Kiera Knightly and Matthew M (who is so dashingly charming!). The dancing and the music blew me away! Of course, I cry for joy in many parts of the movie, me being so sensitive to classical music which moves the soul.
Ah, yes! The gold that falls! We are having a lot of that from our Liquid Amber trees which reach up thirty feet into the sky. Delightful!
I love this time of year. It is a more peaceful time of year than summer or spring.
The poetry is lovely, as are the fashion photos, luscious food photos, and the rain calling my name...
no matter how many times I visit here it is always inspiring and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMy dear Anita!
ReplyDeleteYou always surprise me with your magic and your good taste. Some time ago I have not been able to visit due to an unfortunate fall in the bathtub when I was away from home teaching a course in Cordoba. Yes painful, but no matter, wanting to say hi and enjoy your enthusiasm.
The month of October means for me to travel constantly giving courses in different cities, and sometimes it's too much time away from home, you can connect to Internet quietly, and enjoy a cup of hot tea and your wonderful photos.
A hug VERY VERY STRONG!

XOXO
Now I'm fully ready for fall... listening to that wonderful music as the leaves began to fall... you just know how to create beauty Anita, one of God's BEST gifts to you! :) And the best part is that you share it with us.
ReplyDeleteI adore the music from P&P dear Anita! Nothing as soothing to my soul than to come here today and soak it all in.
ReplyDeletesending warm autumn hugs...
Oh my gosh! How glorious! And yes, October comes and brings strange magic; hidden glamour in the nights and days full of cool, golden sunlight. Beautifully done, Anita!
ReplyDeleteOh dear friend...thank you for visiting me! We have been so busy....Molly has a friend from Norway so we just got back from a day out in Vancouver...showing her all our special spots...and boy was it a lovely October day! Lots of fallen leaves in stunning colours along the shopping streets. A little nip in the air...perfect for scarfs and sweaters. Tomorrow...Seattle! Have a great new week...you are always in my thoughts and prayers...I was thrilled to get your email...and so happy for the news you shared with me....God is GOOD! Hugs and love. xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteHi lovely !
ReplyDeleteThank you for your visits this week . I know you're very busy and big congrats to your hubby re his job! Yippee!! Happy Saturday! xx
October is the most beautiful month, isn't it? Well, at least until April.
ReplyDeleteYour posts truly are a work of art! October is our busiest month, and sometimes I need to remind myself to pause and enjoy tyeh beauty of the season. This post serves as a lovely reminder!

Well, I just had a post ready and finished and it disappeared!
ReplyDeleteGee Whiz....well how was it, the moon, that is, was it wonderful?
I was being a good hostess tonight so I didn't get to steal away
into the night to see it, our friend the Moon. xoxo Eden
Then we must be just a few months apart, age wise! You look incredible - ageless beauty!!

the "gold" floating down. Magic.

Dear Anita,
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say thank you for your sweet words. They touched me and lifted my spirits. Your beautiful post did as well. When driving to my parents today my daughter and I noticed the golden leaves as well, tumbling over the highway, such a joy to see them in your beautiful post as well! We must be kindred spirits :-)!
Have a lovely day!
A big hug to you! Madelief x
October sings over here!

Hello dearest Anita!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sad weekend we have had. Our 16 year old terrier mix, Riley, suddenly became very sick last week. Over the weekend he got even worse. We are taking him to the ER tomorrow to put him to sleep. My husband & I are both so sad!!!!! He has been with us since we were married. He had some trouble last May with walking but some medication helped him tremendously & he bounced back. Last Tuesday he stopped eating and he only drinks a little water here & there. It really went downhill FAST!!!!!
It's so painful to witness and we are both so devastated....
I wish I had better news but it truly has been a sad, sad weekend of goodbyes and memories.....
Hope you are doing well!!!!!
Love & Hugs,
Shannon
Wow! Awesome post!
ReplyDeleteHappy week!
Beautiful pictures
ReplyDeletehave a lovely day

Good afternoon Anita...It's so lovely to visit you this afternoon....I think this post has to be a favourite for me and once again you've worked your magic and brightened up a very dark and wet day here! Beautiful words and images.....always such a treat ♥
ReplyDeleteThank you too for visiting me today and your kind words...you're a special lady!
Happy New Week,

Greetings from a Pumpkin colored October morning in the Hollow. Tis a glorious time of year with all that GOLD falling from the sky! Hamish sends his regards and a hearty honk, honk!
ReplyDeleteDearest Anita, hope you had a lovely weekend! Thank you for your sweet words on my blog. So glad my dad is coming to live again - sometimes, miracles are possible. I've had such a strenuous time ... now my hubby is sick with a bad allergy/inflammation thing .... it never stops. And yet october is so pretty with all it's colors and smells and moods. Have a super start into your week!
ReplyDeleteHello dear friend! How are you? I hope that your weekend was wonderful! I am sure that anytime that you have to spend at home and relaxing with Rueben is wonderful. Thank you for visiting me!
ReplyDeletexoxo Elizabeth
Anita I needed this post today. I needed to have a quiet moment of beauty and be transported by your lush images of Fall. The music and the falling leaves captures my love of the season. I continue to be amazed by your gift for inspiring others...and thank you again for your positive, uplifting words about my move to So Cal. You have no idea how much your comment meant to me!
ReplyDeleteHello Dearest,
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love that coat??? This is something I would have bought when I was younger.
of course all your post are wonderful ...and the Autumn rain falling with the leaves a round the lamp post is magnificent to be sure.
Blessings,

Prachtige♥ foto's heb je van de maand oktober♥..;)
ReplyDeleteHeb en kopie gemaakt van je laatste foto♥ als je♥ het niet erg vind die sprak mij heel erg aan die stemming of ik zelf in zit ..;)
Fijne week en Liefs♥ Gaby..♥
This is why I love your blog, Anita - I am always left with the feeling that I just watched a short beautiful film. You ability to use a few words and say a lot is an amazing talent! xo
ReplyDeleteOh Anita! Thank you for the well wishing. I have had days of bed rest already. I want to blog now. I should have a 'hot pink jeans' post up tomorrow. That is the plan anyway. Thanks for your patience and fun advise. It is not fun to get the first bug of the season. HM and I have to sleep separately when either of us has a bug, so the other doesn't get it. I don't like that about being sick. I feel TONS better today! ♥
ReplyDeleteDearest Anita,
ReplyDeleteYou have such limited time, yet you still came to visit.. I am so happy you enjoyed my Winter Princess.. Ruby was my first cat, remember her? I felted her last July, so this one is my second and much smaller..
Merci dear friend for your kind and encouraging words.
bisous!
Oh Anita! Don't worry about keeping up. You are so busy and yet you still manage to at least comment to me 3 times or so a week. You are a grand friend. I shall write an email soon to tell you deeper details. Fore instance, how I caught this ding dang cold and that I ran into a dear friend that I haven't seen or heard from in about 8 years. I love when that happens. Take care! You are doing great, I can tell. ♥
ReplyDeleteOoh, Anita, what a gorgeous tribute to my very favorite time of year. Gold falling from the sky, indeed! Hope you're having a fabulous fall season, my dear! xo Anne
ReplyDeleteI had to come over and see the picture of the leaves falling down before you make another post. It's such a breathtaking picture, I love it. We are in full Aitumn here, and lovin' every minute of it.
ReplyDeleteHave a sweet day, Anita dear.
Love,

Oh hey Anita! Just wanted to let you know that that is my newest adventure "Blog Hop"! Did you see my Thursday post? Not to be a nag or nothin' but I will be posting Thursday's and Friday's posts on Thursday (one in the early am and one at the pm for the following day and for those participating to get a jump on it). I firmly feel my blog needs a boost for it Friday viewing so I created a "Fashion (item) Friday" for the need and the love. I have had many of my fashionista's say they will come aboard. IAMEXCITEDABOUTIT! can you tell? hahahahahaha. My love and appreciation go out to you always, my dear dear friend!!! ♥
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Anita! As always, I loved it all. I hope you are having an enjoyable October and school is going well. Thank you so much for visiting. It is always nice to hear from you. Hugs! Bonnie
ReplyDeletep.s. I love the white pumpkins as well;)
Anita,

Man, Anita! Your part time job sounds like a full time job. But I know you are grateful for it so that is so cool. Thanks for all your fun and cheerful comments. YOU light up the room with your presence. (or my little corner of the web, as it were) I am so glad you and Ruben are employed and making the most of your days. Don't be envious of my time at the computer. I am doing what I love and I have the time. This weekend is going to be busy for me so if I miss new your post until Monday, that's why. Yay! It is Friday. TGIF.
ReplyDeleteDearest Anita!
ReplyDeleteI am entranced by the beauty of those golden leaves falling! and, whilst reading your numerous, loving comments, I'm so happy to see that you and dear Madelief are friends too! She is a remarkable lady, don't you think?
This post of yours has captured the beauty of a month I rarely see pass! It almost seems as though Fall is a stepping stone leading to Christmas and, with the copious amounts of orders I have to make, Christmas most definitely is paramount in my head. October is a wistful month and you do well to point out its beauty, thank you.
I'm not sure what to think about blogging these days. I still love it but cannot help but notice a fall in the number of comments I have been receiving recently. I don't know if it's blogging in general of if I'm doing something 'wrong'. It is strange.
Warmest hugs to you,
Stephanie
Hello dearest Anita!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so very much for you kind comments about Riley. We out him to sleep on Monday afternoon. It was so difficult but he was very sick.
It was a very sad week and after 16 years with him- this is our first weekend without him.
On Friday we went to pick out our pumpkins which was fun and a good distraction.
I hope you are doing great. Are you attending any Halloween parties?
Luv & Hugs,
Shannon
So lovely and creative! I love the analogy of the gold falling from the sky.
ReplyDeleteI love your October post, Anita! I think my favorite photo is of the two girls walking the streets in their tights and heels. I am a little sad to see October go, but so excited for the upcoming holiday season! To answer your question, my mom didn't make it to Nel's Black and White Ghoula, but we were all together during our pumpkin carving party :-) I hope you have a lovely weekend ahead!

Beautiful Anita, I am watching the beautiful leaves and it's raining too.
