Clouds settling in.
Stormy weather.
We were blessed with a wonderful Autumn rain storm.
The next morning... misty Fog.
I bought this blanket a few years ago at the thrift store.
The colors, Goldenrod, Chocolate, and Orange.
The price: $3.00
Page 22... "Faribault Wool Blankets..."
The company is more than a century old.
I estimate that my blanket is more than 40 years old...
made sometime during the 1960's.
Warm glow of candle light, and candle warmers.
Yes.. Autumn is an amazing time.
My favorite season.
Attitude of gratitude:
~I am so grateful for Autumn blessings... falling leaves, crackling fires, hot chocolate... all of the things that make me feel so cozy, and turn our hearts to home.
~I'm so grateful that we were able to go visit our daughter . Even though she's all grown up, and away at college, we miss her so!
~I'm grateful for a wonderful, smart, capable, faithful husband. My best friend.

Hi Kerin, Amazing scenery surrounds you. I adore Autumn. What a great buy in your fall colored blanket and how interesting to read about the maker in the CL magazine. So happy you could visit with your daughter. Blessings to each of you!
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely images of autumn you have captured – each one of something I deeply love, rainstorms, fog, sunsets, mountains, candlelight, pumpkins, and plaids. And I just love the marvelous colors in your beautiful blanket!
ReplyDeleteHappiest of autumn days to you!
:) Hope
How blessed and lucky we are to live in such a beautiful world!
DeleteThere is beauty all around **smile*
Beautiful FALL mornings/days! I love your blanket..I did read the same article in Country Living! What a Fabulous Find! I LOVE Plaid...if I had a cabin it would be decorated in PLAID touches. Who cannot LOVE this time of year! I thank GOD for the SEASONS...physically and spiritually...he knows exactly what we need. From one sweetie to another~~~Roxie
ReplyDeleteWow, Kerin, you got a great buy on your lovely blanket. The photos are beautiful!! Love the first one, especially. How gorgeous it must be in person.
ReplyDeleteThe color in the mountains is gorgeous! Lovely photos! And I love the colors in your blanket. That was a great find!
ReplyDeleteYour photos show beautiful rain and mist, and the colors of your blanket are very fall appropriate. Only $3, such a deal, girl.
ReplyDeleteI love this beautiful post. I hope your autumn continues on in an amazing way!
ReplyDeleteBetty
I love all things Fall & that blanket certainly qualifies. Beautiful colors & beautiful plaid...I love it!
ReplyDeleteI have an old plaid wool blanket that my Dad gave me. When I saw that article in Country Living, I had to see if mine was a Faribault. Sure enough, it is. I don't think mine is as old as yours though.
Aha!
DeleteI'd bet all of us are checking the labels on those old wool blankets now **grin*!
Hi Kerin!
ReplyDeleteThe Autumn photos are just beautiful! You are so blessed to live in such a beautiful part of the world! I also love the sweet smells of spicy candles in the fall. What lucky finds - I really need to go to thrift stores more often...:0)
We are at my daughters, the kids are so cute, and we are looking forward to some fun!!
Have a wonderful day!!
Hugs,
Barb
Hi Kerin,
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely photos..still waiting for a nice big Autumn rain storm. We had a little rain here in Logan a few days or so ago. Need more more more. :)
Don't you just love the warm feeling from lanterns and candles?
Have a great rest of the day. And a wonderful Friday.
Take care, Janet W...
PS Kerin, I still can't figure out that Newbie Party thing on Debbie Doo's blog...I wonder if we are to just come and click on her followers, comment and wait to see if they comment back or something. I am so confused. lol See ya. :)
Oh I am so envious. We are supposed to be over 100 Sunday and Monday. It will never end here. The ac still cranks away. This has been the longest hottest summer I can remember. Those hill sides are just beautiful and I love that blanket. Great buy.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful pictures!
ReplyDeleteI love the barnwood and mist.
It looks so homey.
Yup, there is a chill and I'm ready for a fire in the woodstove and the smell of pumpkin or something.
Your first photo is gorgeous! The rainy, misty ones are beautiful too. I love that your wool blanket was made right here in my home state of Minnesota. I get the Country Living Magazine but I hadn't read that article yet.
ReplyDeleteLove the season too as you know. Can't wait to find time
ReplyDeleteto haul out the decorations.
Our weather has been great BUT we are in for some warmer days next week supposedly.
M :)
You were blessed with a wonderful rain, weren't you? We are desperately needing rain even though we had a storm move through last night dropping .8"...but it's not enough. We need a really toad strangler!
ReplyDeleteAutumn is also my favorite season of the year....the coolness in the air, the smell of smoke, crackling leaves, the vivid colors....aahhh. I'm so ready for it to feel like fall!!
Oh Karin, you almost make me happy about cold weather coming! Yes, it is all so cozy and comforting to pull everything out and get ready for cold times ahead...Have a good one! :)
ReplyDeleteFall is definitely here! Nice cool mornings and beautiful days. I feel like baking bread and making soup! Mimi
ReplyDeleteAwesome photos. I drove to Logan today to see my Jessica. The canyon was spectacular. I was so upset that I didn't take my camera. I love fall as well--the sights, sounds and smells are wonderful/
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
Julie
So beautiful Kerin!! The wool blanket looks cozy! I read about the company in the magazine, too! Have a wonderful fall weekend! xo Heather
ReplyDeleteBeauty everywhere in gold and brown. I love fall. Nice shots- glad you got a bit of rain.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous view - I love a misty morning -wish I had such a beautiful view - I too love fall - your post is wonderful and that blanket is a fantastic find! Perfect. I am your newest follower,
ReplyDeleteKathy
You definitely caught the magic of autumn in your pictures. Love that blanket; what a find.
ReplyDeleteOn your right sidebar there is a picture of a sunflower where it says "MY FAVORITE FLOWERS"...may I use that to paint a similar one?
Blessings, Nancy
Of course :)
DeleteI loved this . . . The first photo is so, so wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI too read the article in Country Living about Faribault wool blankets . . . I need to bring out my Minnesta Woolen Mills red, yellow, green, black stripes on an off white wool blanket . . . Your blanket was a fabulous bargain and my blanket is a family "keeper" from the early fifties!
Brings me memories of Gratitude . . .
Beautiful photos Kerin. We saw puddles when we got here and figured it had rained. I lllllooooove your blanket. I need to go shopping with you. You are a master bargain hunter.
ReplyDeleteOh my, what wonderful autumn pictures. I do miss the seasons in Utah! I love that blanket. I have a one that is similar that I "inherited" from my grandma...she kept in on her knees in the winter. I'm going to pull it out and look at it now. Such memories. Thanks for your always lovely posts and comments on my blog! Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteAwww....so pretty. This makes me so anxious for colder weather! Love that blanket. $3?? Get outta here!! Love it!

The photos of your surroundings capture the essence of Fall. When I had a home furnishings store, I sold Faribault blankets, so I have a couple of them too. They are one of just a few woolen mills left in America.
ReplyDeleteLove your photos.
ReplyDeleteHappy Fall!

ReplyDeleteThe colors you have are great. I like the wool blanket! And I can't wait to dig out some "fallish" lightly scented candles. I'm super picky about the scent of them!

It is always fun finding a treasure you didn't even know you had. I happen to get Country Living Magazine too and know just what reference you are speaking of on the blanket.
