Ok So Either I'm Pregnant Or .... Autumn Is On It's Way!


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....
