First up, I adore the title of this post! It's Autumn here in Seoul, my favourite season, so for me October is gold!
As for the collection, I was really dreading putting it together. I just don't have a heck of a lot of gold lying about the place. But - after raiding the craft cupboard, the dress ups box and the xmas decoration stash - I came up with something that I'm rather pleased with. I think the sparseness of the collection works with the gaudy brashness of the gold. What do you think?
In this collection are four xmas baubles; some lai see packets from our time in Hong Kong; lots of brooches and even more tiny confetti animals; a rather brash (and cheap) sequin belt and faux croc skin clutch that I bought some years back for a gold themed party; origami paper; a favourite little purse that I thrifted when I was a teen (that fabric!); some ink, hair clips and tinsel. Looking at it all now it's making me feel a bit festive actually!
I'm really looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with for this one...

ReplyDeleteI must say you did really well in this gold collection. I would have had a really, really difficult time finding gold :D
ReplyDeleteOctober is my favourite month, and Autumn is my favourite season, so, yes, October IS golden! :)
