Brown Boots and Quilt

Even though the temperature today reached 92 degrees ...there is a hint of autumn in the air.....maybe it's the return of school supplies in the aisles of the stores....maybe it's the hyper activity of the red squirrels fighting over the acorns in the yard...or the grapes darkening on the vines...









But it is coming....only a few more weeks of summer left...
...Some of the beautiful and warm fabrics that make up an old family quilt at the lake house...



Sweater weather....it's my favorite time...
As the children begin to think about returning to school.....



...I am thinking about and looking forward to later on in the week and attending the flea markets and antique show at Madison Bouckville with good friends Paula, Carole and Deanna. We will be looking for treasures...diamonds in the rough...
...and for the lucky winner of my 2ooth Post Give-Back ....a special treasure picked out just for her...reflecting her very own collecting passions!

It has been fun to read all your comments and to see what you like to collect.....pretty much the same things I love to forage for....so this "personal shopper" is sure to have a good time looking for my winner's treasure! I wish I could bring something back for all of you...but perhaps some photographs of our adventure will have to suffice! I do want to thank you all for being so kind and supportive....your encouragement and generosity has surprised and delighted me and it is my intent to "pay it forward"...

If you have not left a comment yet...please do so HERE as that is the only requirement to be entered in my Give-Back contest....there is still time...I will be drawing the winner's name on Wednesday which should give me enough time to contact that lucky person and get more details on what she collects or desires and what I should shop for!

In the meantime....Carole will also be shopping this weekend for her quickly approaching 100th Post Give-Away! Be sure to check it out!
