You've probably the noticed the subtle changes happening, the nights are drawing in, and even though we are having sunny days, and there's a slight chill in the morning. Changes are afoot. I've also started big time cooking in the kitchen - baking, casseroling and basically stockpiling.. This only really happens on 2 occasions 1 when I'm expecting and 2 as we head into autumn... I can assure you there are no Lil Vintage-ettes on the way so it must be autumn!
Yay my fave season! I love it all, nights drawing in - lighting candles in the evening, leaves falling, picking blackberries, apple days, guy fawkes night and Halloween. You'll find notice the difference in the www.Lilvintagemakes.com/store too. Autumn brings tweed and wools all snuggly, and warm. My first autumn offering is my new moustache purse....
