Friday Finds: Autumn Oranges

I love autumn in Vermont where the trees turn from green to orange, red and yellow.  Here in Vermont, these warm colors of autumn give us one last splash of color before we hunker down for the long, cold, white winter.

This stunning hat is an Adult Russian Style Hat from Prudys Knits Etsy Shop. This hat is hand knit with acrylic yarn and is machine washable.

Prudy's shop is full of hand knit mittens, hats, socks, sweaters, and scarfs for the whole family.
