Caramel Apples

Well, its almost Sept 1st and in many parts of the country, the mindset is switching to Autumn. For lots of us that means caramel apples. Of course personally, I think they are great all year long, but they seem to be way more promoted during the Fall months.

Out of curiousity, I started browsing around etsy. As many of you already know already know, that is one of my favorite past times. I found some caramel apple beauties!

AdamsApples @ http://www.adamsapples.etsy.com/ has some really wonderful looking treats. I looked around the shop and they are all so yummy looking. This candy corn caramel apple particularly caught my eye as it is so very much Autumn-like (and i'm still on a candy corn rush from my last blog post). Visit the shop and browse around. I'm sure you will find something you like.

Back on the etsy browsing trail, and I find DoubleDippedSweets @ http://www.doubledippedsweets.etsy.com/ Oooooh la la, there is some awesome goodness in this shop. I've picked this tye die apple to feature. Seems it is, what else, but double dipped! In caramel and then again in swirled white chocolate. I can honestly say that i've never seen anything like it. Take a peek in double dippeds shop, i'm sure you'll be glad you did.

Now not to be undone, i look on the "non edible" side of caramel apples and lo and behold I find one in the shop of a friend, Darcy. http://www.darcy777.etsy.com She has all sorts of crocheted Waldorf and also cat toys as well as bath and beauty. But in any case, I love this little crocheted number. It would look wonderful sitting admist a Fall centerpiece on your kitchen table. But dont try to eat it!

Candy Corn

Its a sweet treat! Actually its way too sweet for me. In my book chocolate is the way to go, but you cant help LOVING the candy corn...........the colors the shape and the way it just screams Halloween and Fall! This has been my daughters favorite candy since she was real young, and i've always made and bought her lots of things for halloween which were candy corn related. This year i've designed some mini candy corn notecards. They are for sale in my etsy shop. http://www.craftheart.etsy.com/ Nice little thank yous, lunch box notes, include with an Autumn gift etc. They are blank inside, so can be used for just about anything.

Its not just a sweet confection to eat tho you know. If you take a look in saralibbeys shop http://www.saralibbey.etsy.com/ she is already ready for the autumn season with quite a few Fall type jewelry creations. i like her earrings the best. And heres a pair celebrating the candy corn in quite a unique way. Nice colorful beads, great design!

How about a hat? Check out http://www.dottiekayskids.etsy.com/ for all sorts of super cute fabric and knitted items. I know this colorful and totally adorable hat would look awesome on someones special little someone. Is there a little one in your life? son, daughter, grandchild, niece, etc. Well then take a peek around her shop, and I'm sure you'll find something you just have to have!
