I love your Autumn wreath, it is so pretty. Trader Joe's is one of our favorite stores.. Grilled squash is yummy, how do you cook it? Great post, thanks for sharing. Enjoy your week!
I like your autumn wreath, very natural looking. Protea are nice in a bouquet and arrangements, but as you've noted they are expensive. What the heck, you only live once! I've not seen this type of squash but you can't go wrong for the price, let us know how they taste. Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday Snap.
I lost you- so glad I found you again! Love your wreath- I want to make one with burlap like I have been seeing around the net, and if I don't hurry up it will be winter! Have a great week!
Nice to see you again,Snap! Your mosaic header is so lovely and the flowers too!!! Thank you for visiting. It was first time for me to try mosaic. That squash looks funny.I am sure they are so sweet.I would love to taste them!!
The fall wreath has beautiful colors that put us in the mood for fall. Here in Colorado we have had our first frost already, putting an end to the vegetable garden, and we didn't even have to put out a wreath to invite Jack Frost to pay us a visit.
Oh what a pretty wreath. The squash is really interesting! I would love you to link at the Fabulous Fall Linky Party. Come check me out. It is open through Sept.
Your wreath is beautiful, and those flowers...love the photos. I wish the cooler weather would arrive out here but I think I have at least another month to go.
...September days are here,
With summer's best of weather,
And autumn's best of cheer.

Last weekend I put the Autumn wreath on the front door.
It was an effort to get Autumn to make an appearance.

And guess what?!
It worked!
At least for one day.
Lows in the high 60s and a high today in the low 80s.
It may not sound like much to most of you, but to me, it was bliss!
I made a trip to Trader Joe's and came home with some goodies including these:

Such pretty fall colors!
Mums, Protea and Eucalyptus.
They should last awhile (I hope).
I love Protea and I don't splurge on them too often.

They provided some playtime, too.
The produce bins were full of squash and cooking pumpkins.
I came home with these:

Delicata Squash
Small and cute!
Have any of you tried them?
The sweet girl who checked me out said she'd tried them and they were very good.
She put a little sea salt on them.
I'll let you know what I think.
At one dollar, I couldn't resist!
And, I liked that the label said Product of the USA.
After my trip to TJs I walked into my Village.
Had lunch.
Checked out the 2015 calendars at Half-Price Books and walked home.

That's a lovely wreath! I haven't done a bit of decorating. We've had some cooler days, but I'm waiting for the 50s and 60s--my favorite!

It's starting to feel autumnal here although our trees haven't really started to turn yet.

Hi Snap, Just stopping by to say HI. How are you? Been to the zoo lately???
Keep some of that cooler-for-Texas weather going. We will be visiting family down there soon...
I have heard that the Delicata Squash is VERY good. I personally don't think I have had any....
Hugs,
Betsy

I can't bring myself to put fall out yet. But soon...
September 15, 2014 at 9:53 AM
Looks like a great time for squash - autumn is a-comin'. Love the way you did the mosaic - like modern art - lovely.

The good thing about proteas is that they last a long time so that' makes the splurge worth it.your mention of the Village made me a little homesick.
