my fall color
* autumn findings in my father's bowl by Heather Smith Jones (now in her shop!)
** my target tote
*** my coffee and the book.
...........................
* Can this dark blue-green be my Fall color, please? It was Heather's photo that did it. I decided when I first laid my eyes on that bowl, it should be my color for the season.
** I've been wanting a larger tote to hold my stuff which usually includes two cameras, so when I ran across this bag on super clearance at Target I took it as a sign that it was okay to break our newly imposed No Unnecessary Spending Rule. I'm calling it a business expense.
*** It's a wonderful book indeed and a wonderful gesture from a dear friend.
...........................
It's Tuesday and that means a new set of collections will be up at Echoes later today!

I love that color too, especially with yellow!

Me, too, please! I am on a budget, but Heather's photo just might have to make its way to my house. Oh, I love that color.

Teal. Always a favorite. Especially in the fall.
Happy Tuesday, my friend.

I'm loving this color too, Alicia! I've been contemplating knitting a cardigan in that color. Wouldn't that be lovely?

Am LOVING your inspiration. Agree with the color. And these photos, A, are perfect. What a pretty post today. Go Fall. (And Target. Because, seriously, Target is just awesomeness in retail form. Great score.)

It is a fabulous color! I knit myself a scarf/shawl in a similar one last year. One of my favourites!

I am so drawn to that colour - but it's a year round love affair for me. It reminds me of peacocks.

Hi, Alicia -- I discovered you just now when you and I were posting comments to Beauty that Moves at the same time. I loved your comment and was tickled to see that you live in KC (I was born there; now I live in central MO). This has become my favorite color recently, too (after years of loyalty to purple!), and I love your gorgeous mug!! Enjoy your blog hiatus...

Ha! I love that blue-green too... so I just worked up a couple glazes that come really close! (I'm a potter).
