Dear Log Cabin friends:

The month of ushering in fall has arrived – September. I look forward to it every year when my thoughts turn to picking fresh apples, arranging pumpkins in a display, finding the hedge apples (those green orbs), watching the Virginia creeper & bittersweet turn their vivid color, and making a pot of soup. The wild plum jelly is made for the winter months to enjoy – its vivid red beckoning me to open a jar & taste - but I’ll wait – the anticipation will be worth it!

Yes, the crisp temperatures are always looked forward too but this year has been a cooler year. It is also a very busy month here at The Log Cabin. I will open for a sale (read below & see pictures) & then I’ll be open a day the end of September as our fall books should be in for those that reserved them.

This is a shorter than usual newsletter but I’m helping daughter out in her new home, working on our Ks. cabin/house plans, mom came to visit a few days, canning food, drying apples, getting ready to plant garlic & planning ahead for the groups that will be meeting again shortly. All are very enjoyable things to do.

Enjoy the simple pleasures of Sweet September – the air, the colors, the foods of fall. Attend a Farmers Market for the “essence” of fall – a truly enjoyable simple pleasure. (Be sure to take a favorite basket to put your purchases in -J ) September Blessings, Twila

OPEN - I’LL BE OPEN IN SEPTEMBER – FOR A FALL SALE as well as getting a few more things into the shop & marking down others. The new candles may not arrive in time but will be here by end of month I’m sure.

SALE – Sept. 11th – 6:45-9:30 p.m. Friday evening (I will not be able to work with rugs/or wool this eve.)
Sept. 12 –-- 8-2 – Saturday
I’ll be selling a rocking/glider horse, very neat, Also two stacks of painted trunk like boxes, one a small set, the other medium size sold as separate pieces, not a set, a checkerboard, a backpack basket from Maine, a stack of firkins (sugar buckets) & more. Most of these items have old paint on them – (sorry no phone prices). I offer layaway for up to a year at no extra charge. (Down payment cannot be refunded if you change your mind).
These are neat items out of my house – I just have so much & have some things in storage so will bring those in too. These are the kind of items you see in pictures (perhaps in the book our home was featured in). They are hard to find items.

The Block of the Month – Maggie’s Quilt- starts in September. The first time we gather (Sept. groups) to do this we’ll need to stay a bit longer, perhaps, to get everything pinned on before you leave - plan on staying until 9 p.m. if you can.

A very full month of “happenings” at The Log Cabin. If you have questions about any of the groups or anything else please email me at logcabin-cabinkeeper@windstream.net
