Collage: autumn

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Yesterday was the autumn equinox so it will be all autumn-Hallowe'en-pumpkin spice in this journal until Xmas! Yay! Also the boys' uncle arrived so I may be out of pocket more than usual for the next week. Here is an autumn spread.

Say, have you tried collecting and drying real leaves for spreads (or postcards)? The clocks without arms are nice touches!

I hope you can spend some nice days while your brother in law is around, and still have some quality time with yourself. :)

I haven't, but now that you suggested it, I will! I don't know how it will work, but it is worth trying.

It's okay. The best part was yesterday when I got 7 whole hours completely to myself (I didn't even have to make certain my phone was on in case Something Happened) and I went around the National Gallery of Art and the Hirshorn Museum (which is modern art). It was really nice.

I can imagine you would definitely step up your journalling & postcarding game if that works out. :D (Speaking of which, and I'm truly embarrassed by asking, but did I already thank you for your wonderful card that I found some weeks ago in my mailbox?? If not-- I'm truly sorry and ashamed, but would have SWORN I did so. I have the words of thanks in my head, I just don't know if I sent them on their way or not. 😭)

These 7 hours off sound like HEAVEN! I hope you treated yourself to something sweet and delicioius between the galleries! Did you re-visit some old faves or discovered something new-- or both? :)

Oh, good. I was wondering if it arrived. I have sent cards to England that took 6 weeks to reach their destination. Glad you liked it.

I did enjoy a lot of art. And I had lots of coffee and cinnamon buns and brownies at various museum cafes (which was fun). I sat in the sculpture garden, too. I am going to make a full post soon. I didn't take a lot of photos.
