feeling like fall

I am not the keeper. I don't have any collections really, my mom on the other hand…is a pack rat. In this instance I was glad, because trixie is sniffing out my samsonite suitcase I had as a child. I traveled tons. My parents divorced when I was only one and I started flying back and forth on my own when I was probably six or seven, seasoned traveler by ten. But not only did she have my suitcase, but my brownie (girl scouts was from age 6 to 8) uniform. It is so little…I might fit me as a shirt, and I am glad to have it. I don’t really remember brownies…the cookies, I remember the cookies. What do you remember about brownies?

Trying to pick my fall banner taken with abee in her flower district
three choices:
#1

#2

#3

*update*
I just threw the type in there…so what image do you like the best….

    #3 Your title is easiest to read in this one + “pops” a bit more.
    Brownies: I attended my first meeting + was asked never to return. I wanted to play with my friends, but the adults were planning something + thought I was too disruptive. Still a little bitter, but continue to buy the cookies every year.

    banner…that’s a tough call, I agree with Shona that your title is easiest to reIad in number 3 but I love the hydrangeas in the backgroud of number 2.

    I hated Brownies, I remember being bored and not fitting in at all. I did like the uniform though ;)

    i never got to be a brownie…. i used to wonder what it was like….. seasoned traveller at 10…. :)

    i like the pic in #2 too - but i’d change the text - sit it on the brown paper bag and change the color??? maybe greener…. and then it will pop too….

    i want to go photo-ing w/ you two. sigh….

    i like number 2 as well and i like lisa’s suggestion to change the color of the text.

    i was never a brownie…just a girl scout for one year.

    happy fall wendy!

    Cool suitcase! What a nice thing to have.
    I was a Brownie..and what I remember about it is having to say something about God in the pledge, which felt weird, and eating actual brownies at the meetings.
    I love all of these images, but number 2 is my fave.
    Yeah! New banner!!

  8. Anita Says:

    I think number one is the winner. can’t say why though…

  9. pip Says:

    Most definitely the third. =)

  10. la vie en rose Says:

    i just can’t pick!

  11. Daphne Says:

    #2 for sure! I guess all these answers don’t help you that much…we all want a different one :)

    I like this image of Trixie, she looks adorable…hmmm I was a brownie too!! and I don’t collect anything either. What is up with Max Brenner?

  12. maditi Says:

    all three are really beautiful - my favorite is # 3 though!! it has this quiet autumn mood :)

  13. Karen Says:

    Number #3 has my vote. I agree with Maditi that there is something reflective about the picture….which I find is the mood I am usually in at this time of year…

  14. wendy Says:

    shona - can’t believe that you didn’t get to return…wow

    anne - I loved the cookies…do you know where we can find cookies in the city?

    lisa s - growing up an only child with parents far apart…easier to fly than drive…I don’t remember what it was like to be a brownie, only the cookies
    (the next time you are out you have to plan a couple hours of photo-ing!)

    shari - you started when you were older?

    johanna - I love that suitcase…don’t remember the god thing…eating brownies while being a brownie..such a funny girl.

    lisa - thank you…love your abc’s

    ash - I need to find the cookies!

    anita - thank you for voting

    pip - love your conviction!

    michelle - no worries

    daphne - max brenner, tomorrow…the vote is close, but two has a slight edge right now.

    maditi - thank you photo wiz

    karen - looking back…I find I do that a lot in the fall too…thanks for stopping by.

    Hey, I was a brownie too… a lolly pink tintookie.
    And a beautiful photo of Trixie too.
    My banner vote is for #1… though I think this may just add to the tricky selection you have ahead of you.
    take care, grache

  16. louise Says:

    I think the 1st banner works best… Good luck with the decision.
    Cheers, lj
