The search begins for this years’ stacking.

Wait, what—you don’t stack yours??

This is last year’s stack.

I started the search too late in the season and the pickings were slim.

 

My good friend Mary at The Fork and The Road got me started on this.

You can see her search has already begun…

 On the agenda this weekend is a trip to some of the

local markets in search of fall harvest oddities.

Baby, oh baby!

Oh baby, lots of new babies!

Audrey's gift-set-giver requested pink, green and red. 

Wait...RED??!

Solution -- little red cardinals playing among

the pink and green design
