Post 109: No Ordinary Apple

Okay, so I am a bit of a complainer. I hate the cold. (When I say hate I mean absolutely despise.) I am not a big fan of fall because it is a sign of what is to come. I have lived in Illinois for 3 years now and I still have not yet become accustomed to all the snow and ice and below zero winters. Buuut, I must say, Illinois does have the most beautiful fall I have ever seen. The leaves are GLOWING red, orange and yellow! I am also enjoying fall much more this week since the sun has finally showed up and it has been in the mid 60s. The discovery of Cinnamon Apple Tea has also been fantastic....soooo i might not hate fall so much after all. :)

And as a tribute to fall, apples, and this delicious tea I made this today! [Sorry for the poor pics I have been really lazy with the cam these days :( ]

And the embroidery detail "No ordinary apple" (I got a little inspiration from the movie/story Snow White).....aaand here is the other side

It also has a tiny apple embroidered on the flap with a nice big red button! Aaand it is lined in a dark brown satin :D

And I have a bit of a dilemma! I cannot decide if I want to gift it, keep it, or try and sell it on my Etsy!

Post 92: How Do You Like Them Apples?

Sooo, after spending yesterday at the apple orchard I thought that it would only be appropriate to share some lovely Etsy treasures featuring apples! (pleeease click on images for more info!)

I love this great print with the oh-so-adorable rain cloud!

Annd this has to be one of the most beautiful apple photos I have ever seen...

This embroidery is fantastic... And who can resist cute apple post earrings?

The golden and blue apples on this dress are perfect!
And how lovely is the apple fabric on this little bag?

Annd two words: Apple. Locket. :DHave a lovely Monday!

Post 91: An Apple A Day Keeps the Dr. Away!

Today was an absolutely fantastic Sunday. My husband and I joined a few friends for my first visit to Tanners Orchard in Central Illinois. Aaaand the weather was perfect. There were pumpkins, silly goats, a corn maze, and of course PLENTY of apples!

I honestly cannot say that I enjoyed the corn maze much...I have a fear of getting lost and this seemed to play into my fear...walking in circles and everything looking the same.... buuut

I seemed to manage well enough to make it through half of the maze...as a group effort of course...

After filling up on yummy Apple Pie Twisters and enjoying the lovely market we called it a day at Tanners ...I wish I had more pictures to share! Maybe next time! ;)
