I love your collection of clothespin with the white laces wrapped. It is beautiful to look at. Those clothespin must be big to hold a roll. I don't believe I've seen one like it before.

I read the comment you made on Dawn's post and I totally agree with you. I love the feeling of the crisp evenings in the fall but in the back of my mind I know "what comes next" and find it hard to enjoy all of the fall colors because of it....lol
Have a sweet fall day and enjoy the warm while we can.

Hi Lori - I love the White Wednesday blogs - I am drawn to color - I can't help myself the brighter the better - so when I see the White Wednesday is so calming and I think to myself I really need to embrace more white - it's lovely. xo Julie
