Hi friends, I'd like to introduce you to a great Canadian crafter and blogger. I've been following Sherrie's blog for more than a year, and had the great fortune to spend some time with her (as well as her talented husband, Adam, and their lovely son) when I visited Nova Scotia back in June. You might also know Sherrie through her Etsy store, BirchBirk Handmade Soap (she also has an informative soap blog). I was really excited to see her post over the weekend, because I love the way Sherrie has decorated her porch for fall. Take a careful look at that big pumpkin on her doorstep – it's got her street number on it! I love this look and it makes me wish I had a porch to decorate. Go to the original post for a close-up and to find out how it's done – it's so easy, and the most expensive part is probably going to be the pumpkin! (Oh, and that gingerbread recipe looks very tasty. I think I know what I'm baking tonight...) Thanks for letting me share this, Sherrie. Have a great day, folks.
