When I think of fall, I think of hot desert winds, bright blue skies, and the prickle of static electricity causing my hair to stand on end. It makes me feel wicked! Southern California doesn’t see much rain this time of year and many of the plants keep their foliage year round. Our mediterranian climate doesn’t paint a very interesting portrait of our fall scenery. Looking a little closer, you find sun dried grass the color of sunshine and desert wind blown cloudless night skies twinkling with stars. Fall imagery still stirs my soul and inspired many new design for me this year. Here is a gallimaufry of my fall season.
I think we talk about Halloween year round at our house. Haunted house, Skelly, Web and Love Potion.
Brenna’s sweet family owns Coffee Connection here in town. Who better to have a winged coffee cup necklace? Apparently, I was in Pyewacket’s way. Following the signs home. We are often tempted to keep driving north.

October 11, 2013 at 11:08 amWhat inspires me is the change in the air. Living in New England the mornings are crisp which turns the leaves beautiful colors. I love to see them blanket the ground. I love the anticipation of change, bringing out the sweaters, snuggling under an afghan with a good book. Every season is my favorite, but I do love Autumn.

October 11, 2013 at 11:28 amI love the fall colors. A big pile of leaves or a stand of trees in autumn can inspire me.
The pumpkin focal is adorable! I would love to win it!

October 11, 2013 at 2:15 pmI'm crazy about your Day of the Dead beads.
I'm also crazy about gingko leaves and their glorious golden fall color.
I've made gingkoes in many fall colors, golden, platinum, red/orange, wasabi/navy, crimson/magenta. I'm all about gingkoes.

October 11, 2013 at 5:38 pmI just love the new designs! Can't wait to see them with color.
Fall is my favorite season, and I always find inspiration in the way things change and decay…tattered leaves, seed pods, golden grasses and the change in the light.

October 11, 2013 at 8:47 pmI love autumn in general, so it doesn't take much to inspire me at this time of year: leaves changing color, crisp air temps, acorns all over the ground, pumpkins in all the stores, fires in the fireplace (or chiminea!).
I've fallen in love with Jack – he so handsome!

October 12, 2013 at 1:47 pmThere is a small fall festival in our area that starts in mid October. Really tiny. We were enjoying this tiny treasure when my husband asked me to spend the rest of my life with him! It was also my birthday, so I'd say I got the best gift ever! That was 19 yrs ago and we haven't missed the festival since!

October 13, 2013 at 1:07 pmIt's all about the fall colors for me too… that and just all the changes in the natural world as the air grows colder and leaves change color and then drop to the ground. Autumn is my favorite season even though I know it means the long Minnesota winter is coming!

October 14, 2013 at 12:43 amI don't get to have nice cool fall weather since I'm in Florida but I do love decorating for fall. I have my scarecrows out in the 86 degree weather. I also love designing with fall-inspired beads for the same reason.

October 15, 2013 at 12:17 pmI love seed pods and berries! Acorns and pinecones, brambles dripping with fruit and ripe apples falling from the trees 🙂 I also love the strange structures left behind by plants as they die down for the winter month – the intermingling lace of bared frees and the almost aliens remains of teazles jutting up from the mellowing grass.

October 15, 2013 at 4:35 pmWhat inspires me? The beautiful trees, fresh air, pumpkins, dried seed pods in the garden hayrack rides, and a feeling of renewal.
Thanks for sharing all those wonderful beads with us. I would love to win the pumpkin pendant!
