That would be September, not in chronological order...
A package arrived in the mail. Some of the boys' "old" wooden toys a
friend in Germany had been storing for me. Sweet, sweet memories!
I made the bear in second grade! That makes it almost thirty years old! The doll on the right was Noah's first doll when he was wee. The other doll I bought a couple of years ago for no particular reason. It will now be Nuriel's when she is old enough for it.
Nuriel had a birthday. She's one now. The owl bunting was made by a dear friend. So sweet. Some of you have heard of my picture dilemma on the birthday. It was a crazy day. I learned that having to prepare a birthday celebration that's taking place two hours after work while still needing to chauffeur kids back & forth after school makes it impossible to fit in a trip to buy camera batteries. It was a very sweet lil' celebration, though. Good memories, which is the most important part!
The nature table is looking more like spring, but we like it that way. The Koru maiden was made by Marie over at Softearthart. It will become more autumny soon!
Nathan had a birthday, too. He's thirteen now. I'm officially Mom to two teenagers.
Nathan used some leftover bass wood to cut out some owls. He's planning on woodburning details.
Enjoying the last days of summer...

Happy birthday to your wee one and your young man. The owls are lovely.
There is SO much to comment on in this post, but first of all - HAPPY BIRTHDAY to one-year-old (!) Nuriel!!!! What a gorgeous wee one she is. And that owl bunting, oh how I LOVE it. I was admiring the wooden figures, drawing inspiration from them as I've been wrangling the scroll saw recently, and then I got to Nathan's owls and swooned. Really, I adore owls, and his are coming along beautifully. AND what a wonderful treasure, to have those gorgeous toys passed along to your littlest. Keepsakes steeped in memories and love.
And...I was delighted to receive a surprise package in the mail recently. I LOVE it! Thank you :-)
AND a happy, happy birthday to Nathan too! In another year, I too will have two teenagers in the house.
Does the owl bunting stay up somewhere in the house? it looks so colorful.
Birthday wishes to your birthday kids , , , favorite memories of growing up revolve around birthdays and the warmth I felt then.
The owl bunting is gorgeous! Happy birthday to Nathan and Nuriel. :)
Happy birthday to both your wonderful children. I love the owl bunting. spring has started here so your table could be for us southern hemisphere people.
What a beautiful owl bunting! And many happy birthday wishes to Nathan and Nuriel!!! Memories are important and passing them on.
I especially love the photo of my handsome potential son-in-law with Nuri. :)
