“I can not endure to waste anything as precious as autumn sunshine by staying in the house. So I spend almost all the daylight hours in the open air.” Nathaniel Hawthorne.
When finding a sunset like this can understand why Nathaniel might feel that way. The night of Halloween treated us to a brilliant display of colour, not photoshoped or touched up, simply a happy snap from along the road.
SkyWatch Friday is the most amazing experience seeing the sky from different perspectives from all over.
Happy mail adds a little sunshine to an ordinary day and makes it a great day. Card is the handy work of Shirley Fyfe from Reflections.
Card Teachers? If you are in Brisbane and teach cards – a job is being advertised at All About Paper in Cleveland. Or even Card Teachers who are travelling to Brisbane and would like a gig while in town it is worth a look.
Soaps are the delightful little creations of Jill from Bittersweet. Wish the internet had a scratch n sniff feature because there no words to describe how yummy these are.
The bird packet is from Calico Petals and packed full of all kinds of sweet birdie things for all kinds of craft projects.

We had a spectacular Halloween sunset, too! I haven't decided if it's going to be MY SkyWatch this week.
Fabulous photo, and as always, you choose the BEST quotes to go with your photos!
And the sun is like a glowing pumpkin in that orange sky! We had a brilliant one that night too but I think I will save it for another post. Have a wonderful weekend!
