I am rich today with autumn's gold,
All that my covetous hands can hold;
All that my covetous hands can hold;

Huge golden pumpkins in the field
With heaps of corn from
With heaps of corn from
a bounteous yield,
Golden apples heavy on the trees
Rivaling those of Hesperides,
Golden apples heavy on the trees
Rivaling those of Hesperides,
Golden rays of balmy sunshine spread
Over all like butter on warm bread;
And the harvest moon will
this night unfold
The streams running full of molten gold.
The streams running full of molten gold.

Oh, who could find a dearth of bliss
With autumn glory such as this!

I love Fall and am enjoying the drop in temperature, which finally arrived this week. In southern California signs of autumn are hard to come by but there are some trees here and there that have put on golden cloaks. Before you know it, I will be getting out our Advent calendars - can you believe it's only a few weeks until Christmas?
I made a card using
a vintage book page and a doily. I also used embossing powder on the heart and tied a wooden charm to the front with pink bias ribbon.
This one is a birthday greeting but I am starting to make a few Christmas cards too.
Are you working on home-made gifts
or cards?
I just made a couple autumn cards - not into making homemade gifts much, other than food stuff.
ReplyDeleteYour card is gorgeous!
Your post is awesome, the rich golden pics are AMAZING aren't they?
This is such a great post! Lovely photos, words, and you are very talented.
ReplyDeleteLove the creative card and (straw?) border. Happy Fall Shawn!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post, Shawn!
ReplyDeleteYour cards are always such a work of art Shawn. Love the straw! That poem was beautiful as well! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
ReplyDeletehugs,

The embossing powder looks wonderful! I love the way you incorporated the straw too.
