    Still on apples.  Thanks for your feedback on your apples-of-choice to eat, and to use for baking.  I forgot all about apple crisp!  Maybe I will give it a try for Thanksgiving.  A favorite memory:  Dad took me and my friends out after our first KISS concert for apple pie and they served it with cinnamon ice cream.  *swoon*

    Did you know this?

    That the apple is from the rose family?  I was clueless, but it doesn't surprise me to find out this connection.  Gives me goosebumps to learn this!  Above are the new-to-me Gala apples I am loving, and a photo of one of my last roses for the year.

    It was a beautiful day and I didn't have alot of time for my RT journal so I just grabbed the stencils on the top of the pile and went outside to spray a few pages.   Still loving the apples. 

    When I was in 7th or 8th grade I worked in an apple stand early Saturday and Sunday mornings in the fall.  The days were much colder in MN than they are here in NJ.  Loved the cider they sold.  The real murky kind.  I could describe the taste of the dozen varieties of apples we sold….a skill I have since lost.  I stick with Red Delicious these days as it's the only kind our kids will eat – but at least they have one every day.  I've only made a pie once or twice….a skill I never mastered.  Maybe this year I'll give it another go.  Are you good at pies?  Raise your hand and share your recipe!

    It's here!  The red apple cookie jar I gave to Mom and Dad as a house warming gift for their new home a few years ago in remembrance of the one we had as kids…..is now in my newly painted red kitchen!  Yay!  Time to bake.

    I've kept up with my RT journal, just fell behind posting it.  I used a real leaf as a mask on the left, then I was going to adhere it on the right showing the beautiful fall colors but I put the wrong side up!   We had walked around the neighborhood collecting the many leaves – fab shapes and colors….will have to use them on another page.

    Back to my Ruby Tuesday journal finally!  We've been doing some work in the house, inspired by our recently renovated bathroom.  New kitchen color:  Rum Runner, selected for it's fabulous vibe (Duran Duran fans may get this connection).  I think we may have been channeling my friend Peggy, who has a killer red kitchen.  Or maybe it was a subliminal choice as a favorite childhood memory is the red apple cookie jar we always had on the countertop.  I'm on a mission to find one just like it.  Preliminary online searches did not yield a close match, so I am still on the trail.  We painted the living room and hall too.  I'll share that evidence on another page.

    Mission:  to find a red apple ceramic cookie jar.  Must have brown stem, green leaf, solid color red, no varigations.  Top lifts off at stem.  Should you come across one that fits this description please send details.

    Thank you for your feedback on the Parlor Tricks workshop as I'm giving consideration to presenting online.  I think I will offer both download and kit but I will be reformating the book so it does not require coils.  That way, whether you opt for kit or print-it-yourself, we will all be able to follow the same class video.  It may be a few weeks before I am ready to post the details, but be sure to scarf up any ghoulish supplies you come across to add as embellishment if you are interested in the workshop.  It's that time of year!

    Happy Birthday to my BFF, Judi!  xoxo

    Between reorganizing the studio (not done yet) and the bathroom renovation (just started) I was happy to sneak some time in for the self-imposed assignments of preparing the next crusade, and working in my RT journal.  We had a stellar turn-out for No. 42, hope you'll come play with No. 43.
