I love autumn. Cooler temperatures, harvesting the garden, picking apples, finding the perfect pumpkin (and eating the seeds), digging out the warm woollies … the list goes on and on. And of course, there is the beautiful changing colors in the trees. This Harvest Leaf bag can’t be worn, but it does make a great […]

Crafting #bizwins
