celebrate . Halloween in the House

Happy Halloween! Around here, we tend to merge our excitement for fall together with Halloween and Thanksgiving decorations that celebrate this long-awaited time of year. Cooler days, rustling leaves, bluer skies, pumpkins, and the smell of warm spices… the changing season settles in to our hearts and to our home. Even though our favorite activities for Halloween are changing, we never seem to outgrow the comfort that comes from pulling out our decorations, remembering favorite things, and creating a cozier feel in our rooms. On this day of spooks, I thought I’d share a glimpse of our Halloween in the house, and with it, a glimpse of my heart in yet another season of change.

October Field Guide [printable calendar]

Well, fall has officially arrived, and although the weather isn’t cooperating yet (at least in Mississippi), October has captured my attention — if only in wishful thinking. We may be sweating outside still, but around the Pond, my crew and I are undeterred in our excitement for all things autumn. This month is always like a new year, of sorts, for me, because it’s my birthday month — and 2019 is a momentous one! In keeping with our wishful thinking about fall, I’m sharing the art above as a free print. Just click it to download. I’ve also included a variation of it in my October calendar download. Plus, I’m giving you a peek at my newest print in the shop — an Autumn Field Guide!
