Carnival of Colors: Getting Ready for Autumn

August 12th, 2007 · 11 Comments

It’s about that time of year when I start thinking about autumn, going back to school, sweaters, and fall leaves (I love fall leaves so much, they were the only decoration on my wedding cake.) This is a perfect time of year for the Etsy Bloggers Street Team to be hosting a blog carnival entitled “Carnival of Colors,” because I’m already thinking about all the gorgeous colors of fall. One of my favorite things to do when getting ready for a new school year was pick out new clothes and notebooks and things for the year. I still like to do that as an adult, and it’s even more fun with Etsy. Here are some of my top picks, heavy on rich and vibrant fall colors, to help you get into that autumn frame of mind.

Fall Wrap Sweater by KiKi	Garden Cluster Bangle by A Pretty Rock
Balance of Leavesby Trevor Luckman Photography	Lap Quilt by The California Chi
Autumn Leaves Felt Purse by Picky Chicky	Pumpkin Spice Soap by Morgan Street

And since this post is all about finding beautiful color, did you know that you can search by color on Etsy? Try it to find cool handmade items in all your favorite autumn colors. You can also learn more about the color search at Etsy Shops.

Stumble it!

Beautiful, beautiful picks! Can’t wait for the cooler autumn weather after the 90 degree days we’re having in North Carolina!

Shannon, you make me want to relive that back-to-school ritual! I always loved picking out the new clothes, Trapper Keepers (dating myself) and such, too. Your Etsy picks are beautiful and your wedding cake, too.
