fantasy art and tree chatter of aquariann

Every Wednesday night during the summer, Milton offers free concerts in Memorial Park. Last week, my friend Erin Ann Martin sponsored the band. (If you ever plan to move to Delaware, you should hire her as your realtor because she is one of the sweetest, hardest-working women I know.) Wanting to support her motivated me to actually walk down to see 33 1/3 play, instead of curling up on my couch after work. Of course, I got distracted by taking flower photos along the way and was fashionably late. I was especially taken with the colorful zinnias in front of a historic house.

The autumnal equinox is almost a week away! I rarely wear orange during other seasons, but fall makes me crave orange fashions, copper jewelry ... and pumpkin desserts, of course. In anticipation of shifting to autumn shades, I picked a sheet of Hippie Bloom nail wraps as my prize from Laura Neiser 's Jamberry giveaway in August. The bohemian floral style retired last month, but my accent nail choice, Fresh Fern , is still available.

Store shelves may be sparkling with snowflakes and Christmas ornaments, but autumn's not officially over yet! Branch out to My Sweet November , Beadmask , WireQueen Jewelry and Life is the Bubbles for fantastic jewelry in late fall colors of copper and orange. My Sweet November's orange leaf earrings are created with laser cut wood shapes that have been painted a lovely deep orange. The fall leaves hang from antique brass ear wires. Total length from the curve of ear wire to bottom of leaf is 2 3/8". The earrings are lightweight and perfect for everyday wear. Rubber stoppers are supplied for those graceful girls like me that somehow get earrings without backs tangled in hair and then dropped onto a bathroom floor. Beadmask's fall maple necklace is an amazing autumn accessory! The leaf was hand cut, carved and sculpted from premium tooling leather. The shape was then hand painted in rich earth tones of cocoa, cinnamon and goldenrod. A medallion of pheasant feath...
