Seasonal Changes

the end of summer is today at 8:09pm.  i'm bummed as i am a summer person.  i'm bummed i can't figure out what the stupid address to this blog is, or at least i can't find it.  this is most probably an operator error.  at the beginning of october, not only is to now pantyhose season, but the time i change out my house accessories.  the pretty, light summer shears come off the window and the heavy, window sealing curtains go up.  i put the winter bedspread on, change out the pillows, and start to change the decorative stuff in the house.  i have a large, built in cabinet in my dining room.  it used to be outdated, beige paneling, odd glass doors, but i removed the doors and painted out the entire cabinet and it looks quite nice.  lots of space to display cute stuff.  while i've gotten quite picky about what cute stuff i keep, i have quite a collection of beautiful, unique decorative items.  i do enjoy going through my stash and making the changes on the shelves.  and it makes the room look totally different, more seasonal.  ok, i don't go nuts with holiday stuff changes and have a boatload of cute christmas stuff, that would be too much for me, but i do have some lovely pieces i like to put out.  one of my favorite places to shop is 'home goods' in sacramento.  wonderful stuff at a good price.  everyone's favorite.  i've learned to not a buy a piece that doesn't work in my home, or it has to speak to me in a dramatic way.  keeps me from having too much stuff that never sees the day of light.  this weekend i'm planning to clean out all the boxes in the garage that i don't know what's in them and then having a yard sale at the fair grounds in mid october.  make some money for the upcoming nupituals next summer.
