Visiting Minnesota in Autumn

***Any of the photos can be enlarged by clicking on them***

This week we took a little trip to one of our favorite places-- Minnesota.

We camped near Minneapolis at Baker Lake Park.

I picked some lovely colorful maple leaves



I tried out a method to preserve them , and rather like the result.

This weekend we celebrate Thanksgiving here in Canada
We are planning a family dinner, so I have to change from vacation mode to chief cook.

Hey.. that's some great color there! I think the last time I was in Minnesota (about 14 years ago to Ely & Effie & Big Fork) it snowed in October and it was a must to go out shopping for warmer clothing!

Soon the temps will drop here, but Autumn is in the air!

Victoria…and Me

To see larger photos, click to enlarge.. The May-June 2009 Victoria magazine is one of my favorites, featuring blue and white... one of the open pages with an article on linens...it just happens that I have one of the patterns... There is also a feature on blue and white Wedgewood ... I have photographed some of my pieces alongside the article... ....here is my interpretation of blue and white... As a nod to the current issue of Victoria, which features some tea tables in green, I have  set out my own little tea table, with some scones... ...or perhaps you'd like to help yourself to a chocolate-cherry morsel? On this spring day, I am joining in with : Celebrate Spring http://blissfulrhythm.blogspot.com/ Mary's Mosaic Monday, on whose blog you will see some lovely snowdrops: http://dearlittleredhouse.blogspot.com/2011/03/mosaic-monday-snowdrops.html Also,   Sandi is having a special tea party today, so be sure to go over there and enjoy her lovely blog
