sara writes: i made up this recipe a couple of years ago. i love fall and always have lots of apples because my uncle is an apple farmer. when the weather starts to get cooler, i want a yummy hot breakfast that will keep my full! oatmeal is so healthy and it's not hard to make the "real" kind yummy so you dont have to eat the processed instant stuff!
:: apple pie oatmeal ::
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup rolled oats (organic if possible)
1 small apple, peeled and chopped
3 Tb. (real!) maple syrup- you could also use turbinado or brown sugar
1 Tb. butter
1 tsp cinnamon
nutmeg to taste
1/4 cup milk
Bring water, oats and apples to a boil over med. heat uncovered. Stir frequently to avoid burning! Once water has been soaked up and oats are cooked, remove from heat. Add the maple syrup, butter, cinnamon, nutmeg and milk and stir until mixed through.

an autumn bird's nest necklace
{valued @ $33.00}
designed by sara thomas
sara writes about the piece: This unique and gorgeous necklace features a rustic bird's nest made of pure copper and glittery gold stone eggs. Gold stone is truly beautiful, flecked with golden sparkles throughout its cinnamon-colored finish. The nest is oxidized to a chocolate brown, finished by hand with a fine steel wool to achieve a weathered look and tumbled to smooth and shiny. The bird's nest hangs from an antiqued copper chain that measures 18-inches and closes with a claw clasp and handmade link embellished with a matching gold stone bead. *This item is a LIMITED EDITION piece of the Fall 2010 collection!
