Waiting for the leaves to change color


Hello everyone!
I want to say thank you to everyone who left me such encouraging comments on my last post.
I feel like the luckiest girl in the world to have discovered the wonderful world of blogging!
You guys are the BEST!
Thank You!

I have some fall decorating ideas I want to share with all of you, however
I am waiting for the leaves around here to change color.
I found these branches up in the mountains a few weeks ago...
Hopefully I will soon have some better fall pictures for you.....


Onto another note....
Over the past couple of months I have received a number of inquiries about advertising on my blog.
After giving it much thought, I have decided
I will be making room for advertising on the top right side of my blog, starting  November 1st.
I will have a limited amount of spaces....
So if you are interested in advertising on my blog you can email me at
losttrailranch@hughes.net

Hope you all have a great week!
Take Care,
Maria

  5. Beautiful Fall vignette, Maria!

    I'll be interested to see what you think about accepting ads...I've had inquiries into the same thing on my blog, but haven't taken the plunge yet. Not sure what I'm waiting for! :-)

    Big hugs for a happy week!

  6. Hallo Maria,
    I love it with things from nature to decorate. Especially in autumn!
    And leaves or small trees where the leaves are discolored my favorites!
    Your photo is so beautiful!
    Have a happy week,
    Hugs,
    Yvonne

  7. Maria, I am really so happy for you. What an accomplishment to be on the cover of Fifi's book.

    I hope you are well. Very busy I imagine with the kiddies and online business, and of course getting your home ready to shoot.

  8. I love decorating with branches. We have some that have beautiful red berries on after the leaves have fallen off. I love to put several branches in a tall glass vase as a centrepiece.

    Yours look beautiful in that zinc container.

    I have recently started Following your blog, which I am loving.

    Have a good evening.

  27. Maria, you are so clever! You can turn an old tin bucket, and a 1/2 dead branch look stunning. A lovely vignette.

  30. Dear Maria,
    Isn't Autumn beautiful and it's lovely to bring it inside too. We are having a marvellous Autumn with some amazing colours on the trees. Our son and daughter-in-law were married on 18th October 2008 and it was the BEST day so I love Autumn, as it brings back such special memories. XXXX

  33. hi maria,

    lovely photo, as always! i have some tin buckets that i've been leaving outside in all kinds of weather so that they'll get that just-right weathered look. can't get enough buckets or wire!

    blogging can be pretty amazing. :)
