September is here and kicks-off my favorite time of year. The hint of Autumn that September brings, has taken on a whole new meaning for me since moving to the beautiful Smoky Mountains. From decorating the house and the shop, to sweater weather, cozy fires and the signs, sounds and smells of fall, I am definitely in my most happy place.
When going through my cross stitch stash, it’s obvious I love fall themed cross stitch designs and do lean towards certain cross stitch designers. Now I just have to find the time to stitch my stash!
Fall is a busy time of year at Anabella’s. We are hosting the Autumn Pop Up Retreat with Emily Call Stitching on September 28th and our All Things Autumn Cross Stitch Retreat with Erica Michaels and Sweet Wing Studio starts on October 11th. We’ve got Mystery Boxes and Mini Boxes and all kinds of wonderful things we’ve put together for all of you.
If you are in the area, stop by the shop on Saturday October 19th from 12pm -4pm for our first annual Fall Porch Picnic & Sale! This will be a fun day filled with games, prizes, a raffle, shopping, food, fun, and a chance for you to visit with old and new stitchy friends alike!
I hope you enjoy the beautiful month of September and get to do all the things you love, with the people you love the most! Until next time, be happy, be well, and most of all, be kind.
