First Look: November Pin Lover's Club

As Fall in the Midwest moves toward November and leaves fade to warm golds and browns, it's fun to spot unexpected touches of color. Blue pumpkins at the market started us thinking about adding a teal-y blue flower to the November Pin-Mini. We chose the orange and teal wildflower pins first, then made a special pumpkin with the same touches of black. They became Give Thanks--the November Pin-Mini.

Inspiration: Make-It-Simple Spoolkeep

Life is complicated--sometimes it's good to simplify.

Occasionally a Pin Lover's Club friend asks for an alternative to the pincushion pattern we send. This is our all-time favorite--glue a felted wool ball to a wooden spool then add a bit of ribbon. We call it a spoolkeep.

Here we've arranged a small display for the spoolkeep --a black plate, tiny black frame, and a scattering of buttons and shells. So simple!
