Fabulous Four: Colours Of Autumn

Orange, brown, red, gold, yellow, green…

The colours of Autumn are popping up in indie shops all over the web! It is so exciting to find handmade items that are offered in seasonal fragrances, colours and themes. During one of our recent hunts for items to feature in our “Fabulous Four” segment, we discovered this attractive Autumn Leaf Card by Heather's Handmade Creations. The warm, rich colors on the outside are accompanied by the simple but very thought-provoking words: “A fallen leaf is nothing more than a summer's wave goodbye.” The inside of the card has been left blank but you can actually have the shop stamp something on the inside at your request. Isn't that a great option? A warm card like this could definitely take the chill out of Autumn! The card is $3.50.

And look at this Pumpkin Spice Scented Cupcake Soap by Doctor Sweet Tooth! Looks almost good enough to eat. Reminds us of the bright-colored cupcakes mom made every Halloween when we were kids. Yum yum! This one-of-a-kind soap has aloe and olive oil in it to soften your skin and the frosting is made with a special mixture of whipped shea butter soap. This baby is $6.00.

Keep your pup looking fashionable this season. Check out this adorable Festive Fall Dog Kerchief that we found for only $6.00 at The Vacationland Dog. This seasonal fabric is reversible. One side shows falling leaves and pumpkins and the other side is a solid orange colour. It's "dog-gone cute"!

And look at these sparkly, orange beaded earrings from Heart In Hawaii. They are called Cute Little Pumpkins and are only $15.00.

The shop says that they are handmade from sparkly transluscent, opalescent orange delica and seed beads. There is a pumpkin pendant and charm also available. These earrings would be great to wear on the weekend with your jeans and a cozy sweater or would look fun and fab with your little black dress. The possibilities are endless.
