Once the calendar turns over to October I can't help but light candles and instantly become a home body. The gardens need a good thorough cleaning, and I can feel the need to de-clutter our home.
Most of my flower gardens are still going strong, even though we haven't had any rain. I try and hang on to their beauty for as long as I can.
Last week I made a Banana Cream Pie for Lennis. It's been awhile since I've baked pie. Cream pies are my favorite. Their ingredients are basic and simple, but the homemade custard melts in your mouth.
The shop is packed full with autumn soaps and apothecary, and I can't help but be anxious for the fall season to blossom!
Bittersweet is stocking some of your old favorites, and an inventory of new elixirs, jackets, and must have items that will help you move softly into the season change.
Keep smiling.
