Autumn Creeps In...

A nestful of Autumn tweets
Pumkin Pie Tweet

Things have been a little quiet at the menagerie, lots of making but not a lot of new things going on, and then this week I noticed a slight chill to the air which hails the end of our all too brief British summer.Chestnut Tweet

Pretty soon the leaves will start to turn and we'll be settling into the Autumnal season, long rainy days, windy nights and an extra blanket on the bed. Copper Beech

Autumn is actually my favorite time of year, an excuse to get out all those big jumpers that I packed away at the end of winter, harvest festival, crunchy dried leaves underfoot, the kids all back in school, the tourists all gone home.

Inspired by the change in the weather I decided to make some Autumn colour tweets and am enjoying naming them all. Am having a little trouble with this last fella tho... any ideas... he's a cutie no doubt but he doesn't want to settle on a name! Sweet potato? maple leaf? He just can't settle... any help would be gratefully received and the person who suggests the best name will get a little goody bag of postcards and magnets as a thankyou!

Loving all the autumn colours!

I like the warm but coolness that require a hoodie of a nice autumn, I've always been a bigger fan of the middle seasons, autumn & spring more than the extreme ones...

I think a good name for it could be Candy Apple, since it's red like the apples used for those and it's very Halloween-y...

These are really cute! The one at the end needs a name - What about 'Scarlet Oak'? Just googled autumn trees and this came up:

He is exactly the right colour!

I love Autumn as well. This is my favorite time of year. I also noticed a chill in the air this morning, and the cars were full of condensation which is always a sign! Summer wasn't up to much was it?!!!

Ahhh! They are all adorable! :)
Rose hip maybe? But that's not really autumnal. Mhh... sorry. No idea.

ooo... I like rosehip and I like Candy apple... I can see I am going to have too many choices!

Tell you what which ever name I choose the person who suggested it will get a little goody bag with postcards and magnets and things from Inkmeup too!

Love your new tweets!

Your mystery tweet reminds me of the lovely red berries on a Rowan tree so maybe Rowan Tweet ?

i like simple names... my first thought was "cider" and my second is "marmalade". and i like that both preserve the fruits of summer trees/shrubs for autumn consumption!! =)

I think there is a tree with lovely red autumnal leaves called sweet gum - how about that?

Very gorgeous little tweets! I love them all. I may need to buy one soon - my little Valentine Tweet is lonely...
I can't decide which I love best!
