Red, Green, and Orange

Posted on October 11, 2012 by Pillows A-La-Mode

All three of the leafy placemat tote bags I made last spring have finally found a niche. I shared the red one a few days ago—it’s hanging on the wall in the dining room filled with dried eucalyptus branches. The green one is now on the coat/umbrella rack by our front door filled with pretty scarves and gloves to grab on the way out. And the orange one . . . well, it’s the perfect autumn running-around tote . . . for now . . . ♥

It looks so nice and fall-like. Makes me think of comments Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks made about the fall in NY and how it made them think of a bouquet of freshly sharpened pencils and brightly coloured leaves and twinkly lights in shop windows. I saw these pics and thought those same things. It’s great they way you’ve pulled together an entire outfit in the last one, too.

  Thank you! It’s really fun to read and hear of others’ descriptions of autumn . . . there’s something universally appealing about it, I think! 🙂 But then we feel the same way when spring come, don’t we! 🙂

  Those scarves (AND pretty tote bags!) are just too pretty to stay in a closet or drawer, aren’t they! 🙂

These look great! I have lots of scarves which are taking up too much room in my dresser; a bag on the hallstand would be handy and look decorative, as well as helping to solve the storage problem … =D
