It's Autumn!

and to celebrate I would like to present the Autumn Music Box House...



which plays La Vie en Rose....
(ok not really an autumn song, but it was chosen by default...)

and here are some detail pics...






I never had any clear idea for this one up until I really started thinking about working on it...
We don't really have a fall as such with the falling leaves, etc, here in WA, so it wasn't until I started thinking about autumn being the season of harvest for fruit and vegies that I came up with this idea.
The apples and pumpkin were a lot of fun to make, messy to paint, but turned out well I think.

the hardest bit was the fence... I was going to do a brick fence but it just would not work, so I neded up with a picket fence again... a bit different to spring though and this one has a letterbox...

I still have to work out where to put the name of the house somewhere but... any suggestions?..

unless I put a sign on the fence....

Another gorgeous creation Toni! I think this is my favourite so far... but it could be because Autumn is my favourite season. I like the idea of a sign on the fence... you could maybe advertise "Autumn Apples For Sale 5c" or perhaps you could hang red and orange leaves on the tree with the letters AUTUMN spelled out. Whatever you decide will be perfect I'm sure! Another terrific job!!!
Cheers,
Beccy
