Fall Banner

OCTOBER

October's changing magic upon my garden falls

With lacy, leafy patterns against the rough
stone walls.

I can smell the leaves in the hedgerow,

And chrysanthemums spice the air -

Fragrance of apple orchards and seed pods everywhere.

There's a lengthening of darkness

Like a blanket that covers all,

For October, fickle maiden, is ushering in the fall!

I made a fall banner for this fireplace mantel this week. Oddly I've never made a banner before! It was so much fun choosing the different papers and embellishments and it was a pretty quick project as projects go.
