Team Treasuries! Autumn in the Air

We have a running theme here! Autumn is being embraced with our treasury makers this week. I love Autumn, it's my favourite time of year. Have the leaves started changing where you are? Ours are still Green, but I'm anxious for the lovely colours of Fall.

First up, Irish Autumn by Jesse of homespunireland
