Look at the colors of the leaves on the ground! |
A place where I can share the inspirations found around me with people who are also searching for some... (do I sound like Zoolander? Awesome.)

The Last Foliage Post...
The weather has turned! The winds have picked up, and they're blowing the leaves from the trees now. I was able to take one more walk to take some last pictures for you. I'm glad that you all are enjoying the fall foliage with me! It's amazing, isn't it? So here you go. A few more to get you through winter!
I was last seen in the construction industry, wearing a hard hat and yelling at guys. Just kidding! I never yelled! My guys liked working with me, actually. But I was losing my creative self, which is very important to me. So... I left. I am also most happy when I'm helping to inspire people, either with my crafting posts, showing something amazing about nature, or sharing my latest favorite bookmaking project... I love working with my hands...oh to feel things! I am always looking for ways to expand my knowledge about nature, life, people, my art.... that's what this life is for, I believe.

Brilliant Foliage!
The pictures speak for themselves! (And I'll add a couple captions, just for fun...) Enjoy!
There was no retouching of any of these photographs... it's just simply stunning in Bethlehem right now. I am very much enjoying this TRUE change of seasons! Who wouldn't?
My favorite tree with its first blush of fall... |
My new yellow swampers (sitting under my tree) |
Check out the marble this tree has grown around! |
A gorgeous view straight up! |
crunch, crunch, crunch... |

Pennsylvania Treasure Hunt
Today I drove with a friend to an antique store we'd seen in passing, on our way to and from Hawk Mountain. We've wanted to return to this store ever since we saw it two weeks ago. It was completely worth the trip!
It's called Figaro's Vintage, and it's been there for 6 years. It's owned and operated by two retirees: Jeanette & Pete Carrigan. They are very friendly and out-going, and are finally doing what they love! This ecclectic store is surrounded by goodies, and filled with goodies! I took some pictures to share with you, in case you were ever in the area. It's in Lenhartsville, PA, which is only about 30 minutes from Bethlehem.
Anyone who goes into this store will find something.... it's just one of those exciting places where your imagination runs wild! I left with a couple vintage clothing pieces, two owls, two cookie cutters and a harmonica! I could have come back with much more, believe me! I was restrained because I was shopping with a new friend. Otherwise, I know I would've been very bad and bought so much more!
