Falling for Fall

Well, we're starting to have a real taste of fall weather, and I couldn't be happier!  Now, this is something NEW, because I've always been a spring/summer kind of girl.  But, this past summer's heat...and rain, tornado, hurricane, earthquake - just about did me in!  For the first time in a long time, I'm enjoying the crisp, clear air, and I'm looking forward to the fall colors and change in season.

I also tend to do a lot of public events once the summer is over, which is always a lot of fun.  Once again, I did the GNPAL event (to benefit the Greater Norristown Police Athletic League).  The Lower Gwynedd Countrie Picnic was cancelled due to the rain, but I had a table at a new (for me) event - The Junior League Taste of Fall - last Sunday.  Great venue, nice crowd, and good reviews for my baked goods. 

Next Sunday, I'll be participating in another new event - The Ultimate Birthday Bash, sponsored by Main Line Parent.  That event will include a competition between other bakers and my baking business, Kathy's Just Desserts - should be fun!  It's FREE to attendees, and you get cake!  What more could you ask for on a fall Sunday?!  :-D  I'll also be happy to tell folks about my kids' cooking parties.

I'm trying hard to get my Cupcake Capers event off the ground - a benefit for Mommy's Light Lives On.  Getting nervous because there aren't a lot of attendees as of yet - still 2 weeks left to respond.  Details are on my website.  In addition to having fun (kids AND adults) decorating cupcakes to take home, we'll also have lots of great raffle items.  And, Mommy's Light (www.mommyslight.org) is such a good cause!

In early December, I'll have a table at the LaSalle Mother's Club shopping event for the seventh year.  That's always a good event - and folks can pre-order cookie trays to be delivered closer to the holidays (for teacher/client/hostess gifts and home/office parties).  This year, I'm ready for any/all orders - two heavy-duty mixers and my new range with a double oven!

So, if you're out and about, please feel free to stop by these events for a sample...or two...or three!  I'll be the one NOT complaining about the cool weather - promise!
