Dear fall,

Every year I would get excited by your arrival,
eager to see you in your finest apparel,
showing off your glory.


Halloween me in 2006
My hat is thrifted.
The glasses were a free gift from a work friend.
My gloves once belonged to my great grandmother.

Do I always look so witchy?
Don't answer that!
My necklace and purse were thrifted.

My shoes were thrifted.
I can't remember where I got the dress,
but I don't have it anymore.

Dear fall,
Every year we'd go into the mountains to gawk at you. 
While in my car, or walking around the neighborhood, photographing my delight, at the decor.

Dear fall,
I'd exclaim and marvel, wherever you made your presence known. Your foliage continues to astound me. 
Thank you for being my favorite season!

With love, 
Teddi  :)

  2. Halloween photos are always the best for nostalgia. Even a photo from 6 years ago can seem like double from memory. I wish my mom took more photos back then.

  5. Maybe it's the long necklace and the gloves but that dress reminds me of flapper style, a bit. Too bad you don't have it any longer. Hang on to that hat/fascinator though, it's awesome!!

  8. Hi friend Ted! I'm in love with your photos, they are full of life ... and I loved your outfit, you look beautiful!
    The forest and the decor of the house is a dream ... I think the U.S. Halloween is so much cooler!

  10. Fall IS the most beautiful season. It's definitely short lived around here. We go from sunny and green to wet and cold pretty quickly! Your nails look cool!

  13. Love your hair from 2006 and those little bat glasses are too cute Teddi. I hope you are finally feeling fall in Texas. I have secretly taken photos of people's decorated fronts. I love the spirit of Fall. Hope you had a great weekend. dawn suitcase vignettes xo

  15. I also love Fall! This year I got fall longer than ever - in 2 different hemispheres, so, 6 months of fall!!!!!!I do love the leaves on the floor!
    So I justcame back from the doctor and she said I just had a strong cold and the back pain is due to the effort of coughing, so, I'll be brand new in 2 weeks (her words).
    Then I'm back to the blogosphere!
    You didn't look witchy - you looked very classy! I loved the dress, why don't you have it anymore? :(
    Hope you had a great Halloween this year!

    The pumpkin hoodie person is absolutely adorable!

  17. Ooo, I love your October page. We just got our first bit of snow up here today and it's so sad to know the beauty of autumn is over (for now). Your witchy look is very elegant and classy, I might add! ;)
