The trees in our town are absolutely gorgeous and dropping leaves like crazy.   There are still many to enjoy probably because it hasn’t rained as much as it has seemed to in years past.  From the windows in the living room of the store I can see many shades of glorious fall color and some trees that haven’t begun to turn (along with those firs and pines that don’t!).

Inside the store are many fall items mixing for another day or so with Halloween.  Such a cozy time of year and this house lends itself to fall nicely.  Our hope is that Christmas here will be fantastic!  We have some areas in mind to use for variously themed trees and now that Miss Lula is developing our strategy for decorating I can tell you that they will be terrific!

Before fall leaves the store (and it won’t be without a lot of hard work – and a bunch of sales, hopefully!) I wanted to share some pictures with you.

This one is just for fun because I love the shape and color!  Reminds you times past I think…..  Although I wouldn’t give up central air and heating for all the tea in China!   ~S~
