Show Me Sunday

 

 Where I live, the change of season has brought a bounty of fallen leaves, a sure sign of Autumn.  Sunday afternoons spent raking and jumping in piles of crunchy, colorful piles of leaves is common.  Today's handmade components remind me of days like today.

Show Me More Harvest Beads! 

 

For November, we want to showcase beads, pendants, and components that remind us of the autumn harvest.  Let's see a cornucopia of fall colors, autumnal fruits and veggies and leaves, and a buffet of yummy visual treats to celebrate the change of season.
