For Everything a Season

I give up. I can’t deny anymore that summer is over.

Really it was a combination of events that forced me to this admission. The snow. The date on the calendar. Oh, and the snow. Not to mention the fact that everyone I know is sick. We’re seasoned Minnesotans, but this change in weather makes us all sick every single fall.

I like to look on the bright side. Having a 6-month-long head cold isn’t so bad. A big red sniffly nose is a guaranteed way to get a sympathetic smile. No one blames you for skipping the gym to burrow in bed, watch Pride and Prejudice and eat ice cream all day.

So, in honor of this Season of Minnesotan Sickness, I put up a new fall display at the shop. Here’s a little sneak peak from my sketch book:



If you stop by, you’ll have to tell me how accurate the actual sunflower is to this sketch. And if you come by between October 22 and November 1, in honor of another fall tradition you can play games with the Harvest Sampler Shop Hop. Marble games, or ping pong ball games, I’m not sure which yet. But we do know there will be prizes.

But don’t worry; they’re all good prizes: I promise to sanitize.
