  3. It's hard for me to think 'Autumn' yet because it is still in the 80's here.--although you are right, the light is definitely different. I love your list though and especially love the candles in the jars.

  4. I love Autumn, too! It's such a cozy season. The only thing I don't like about it is that the children seem to get sick more. :( (We have several with colds right now.)

    Hope your weekend is blessed!

  6. No autumn birthday here (or soy candles), but just about everything else! I made apple dumplings for our dinner today. With hazelnut coffee and cheddar cheese it was an early autumn pleasure!
