I have to be honest, I don't know if I like pumpkin spice flavor. I've never actually had a pumpkin spice flavored drink, or tried a pumpkin spice sweet, and the candles would never be allowed near our house since Thomas detests cinnamon and most autumn scents seem to throw that spice in! I do love pumpkin things--carving pumpkins, eating pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread and any other pumpkin treat my mother would bake me. But pumpkin spice is still a bit of a mystery...However, that didn't stop me from falling in love with Curly Willow's Pumpkin Spice wristlet. Rather than a *mystery flavor* it's a handmade bag with merino wool in all my favorite colors. I don't think I've seen a prettier purse or one that fits so perfectly with my fall wardrobe! Of course "pumpkin spice" is only one of her color combinations and the geo-dot only one pattern option; you can get this color pattern (or another one) in scallops, hexagons, or chevron patterning. It's like every shade of autumn captured in a little bag from the bright yellow of ginko and birch trees to maple red and the deeper browns of the older leaves as we sink into November. Autumn is definitely getting darker; our birches are bare, the chestnuts have nearly disappeared, and our pumpkins on the front step are looking worse for wear with each passing day. Still there's something quite lovely on a late autumn walk when you still find a patch of color and the air is filled with the scent of hearth fires...
P.S. Get $10 off anything in Curly Willow's fall collection through December 1st with code "aclotheshorse". There's a lot of pretty color combinations in there from cranberry pinks and red to woodland greens and browns, so even if autumn leaf colors aren't your favorite thing, there's probably a color pattern that is (they would also make great stocking stuffers).
