Time flies...... stop for a moment and enjoy the things around you. The fresh air your breathing, the blue sky, the colors of the trees changing, the smell of Autumn, all of these things we sometimes take for granted.

This year is passing us by so quickly and I want to soak in every moment of Fall this year and be so prepared for Christmas that it will amaze everyone. That is my goal and I really hope to stick to it.

Now that I am back from QVC, which I might add, was a great time. I got to spend time with my sister who lives in VA, she came down to QVC to help me get things ready for the shows. We had beautiful weather in PA and I had David and Patty to work with, how great is that! Lastly about my trip, I have to add that everyone at QVC was so kind to me. Everyone who helped, from getting my microphones on, to the studio salon girls who make me feel like a million bucks, to the behind the scenes crew who get the product out to the set for us. Thank you to everyone for helping make our shows so successful.

I have already started to decorate for the Fall season in my home. With of our baskets being so versatile, you can use many of the ones you already have to decorate for all four seasons. Just add a Chrysanthemum or some gourds and pumpkins for Fall, add a Poinsettia, some red berries or freshly clipped greens for Christmas. For the Spring and Summer months take those same baskets and add seashells, spring flowers or some pretty antique linens and flower petals.

There are so many things you can do to get into the spirit of the season. I visited a local farm stand recently and purchased some gorgeous fresh cut flowers and just put them inside our pencil caddy basket in the center of the table. The basket comes with a plastic protector, so it holds water. It just adds cheerfulness to you home as well as a traditional country feel with the basket.

Get outside and enjoy the rest of the nice weather, before you know it, it will be too cold to go out at all!
