And autumn came

Today is officially the first day of autumn 2019. Last night was the autumnal equinox where the hours of day and night are equal. From now on we will be losing daylight as the months move on. 
I do love autumn, the colours are always so stunning and it is the one time in the year when I use my red/orange/brown colour palette.

The conkers are really starting to fall now.

 and this weekend coming will be our annual Conker Treasure hunt with our darling Daisy and Jack who are coming to stay. (Weather permitting).

I made a tag using my autumnal palette again with my new Lavinia goodies.

with a close up
 I would like to enter it into the following challenges;

Lavinia world 2/3 anything goes
Papercraft challenges 3/3 no designer paper
Happy little stampers anything goes
C.R.A.F.T 2/3 autumn weather
Cut it up 2/3 into the woods
Through the craft room door 3/3 anything goes
Crafty catz 2/3 anything goes/thank you
Uniko 3/3 anything goes/autumn

The weather forecast was spot on and we did get some rain yesterday but it came in fits and starts so it was not the washout I was expecting. I must admit my garden really does need a good dose. 
Enjoy the autumn, it is such a golden time of the year and the colours around us from Mother Nature are truly inspiring. 

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a lovely week ahead.

Back soon,

Bye for now,

    Lovely tag ...I must admit the autumn colours are pretty, it's lack of light I don't like!!
    However the sun is shining here, I have the windows open and the washing is on the line, this kind of autumn I can do!!
    Happy new week my friend,

    What a lovely use of autumnal colors, Jane! The background is amazing with those lovely textures and blending of hues. Of course your Lavinia setting is just pure Magic! So happy I saw your pretty card at Lavinia World Challenges >. Hope to see more of your creations in the future.
