September List

September Bucket List

• Decorate for Fall - that will include a door wreath, change og floral decor on the island,

• Roast Marshmallows - a sacrifice. I am willing to make.

• Visit an antique store - this one is a stretch .. I’m not a browser; I only shop when I have a purpose.

• Change Bedding—I’m looking forward to this one and am restraining myself because I can’t wait to see my vintage (new to me) duvet.

• Bake bread. I thought Brady might enjoy this task.

Decorating for Fall

• The annual search for feathers is on. I wish I could remember those “safe” places a year later.

• The den has been transformed. The apples in the Imari bowl have been replaced with copper globes, and faux spring flowers have been replaced with a dried arrangement (it’s small).

• The kitchen island flowers are now barren pear branches, and a few other tweaks.

Change Bedding

• Cotton blanket out

• Beige matelasse quilt on

• The duvet cover (vintage Ralph Lauren) purchased earlier this year looks fabulous.

Roast Marshmallows

• I may try a new idea involving packets of mini cookies, chocolate, and roasted marshmallows dropped inside. The combo is supposed to be the perfect bite.

• I prefer a solo roasted to a crisp marshmallow, hold the rest.

Bake Bread

• I made wheat bread before I knew Jim.

• When I lived in Sierra Madre Canyon, friends would pop in for a slice of warm bread on baking days - it was a fun community.

• After Brady was born, I took bread-making classes, bought my Braun mixer, and made French bread regularly. I also made pizza dough the same way.

Visit an Antique Store

• I’ve wanted a small footstool - I have a mission now.
