Back to School

I always love the back to school season, though it's been 10 years since I graduated high school, and 6 since college, I just love the fall colors, and the idea of looking forward to school time starting. I always loved school, and everything that happened throughout the school year so much, that I usually didn't really look forward to summer coming. I know, weird. Hope everyone has a great back to school time. . . my oldest will be starting kindergarden this year, but we've chosen to homeschool. We are thrilled to have him home and to teach him ourselves, but since my husband and I were both public schooled, and we loved it so much, we are really hoping to give him as delightful an education as we both had. Today I'm featuring my child's cowl in primary colors, mixed with woody browns in chenille to give it softness, sheen, and that cozy fall feeling. :-)

Hippie?

So, last night I baked my first loaf of home ground wheat bread. I had made bread before, but this time, I had just gotten a grain mill, and ground our own flour from whole wheat berries. It was positively delicious, and is so much better for you, preserving all of the vitamins. I said as such on facebook, and now one good friend says, "I always knew you were a closet hippie". . . am I? Hmmm. I don't think of myself at all as a hippie, but what are the standards for hippiedom? Anyways, today I'm featuring my new "leaf table-for-two placemats". . . fun leaf coaster sprig attatched to each placemat. . . so you and a friend can bake your bread and eat it to. Far out! :-)
