Fall Cheer in a Basket

I had so much fun putting together a little basket of fall goodies

for a dear friend's birthday.

She loves the season of autumn,

so on a trip to Wal-Mart I picked up...

a "pumpkin carnival" candle,

a happy harvest pumpkin,
(I have the same one on my windowsill!)

and a sweet box of halloween chocolates.

When I got home,
I tied up some little bags of candy I had on hand.

And, raided the pantry
for some hot cocoa, hot cider and hot tea packets.

I placed everything in a basket, lined it with some cute orange gingham fabric from the scrap bin and added a home printed card.
