A is for Auspicious, Appetizing & Amazing Apples

 APPLES!

Apples. 

They come in over 50 different varieties. Many of those are readily available in your local grocery store, or by mail order companies like Harry & David.

This chart just shows a few. Some I have never heard of! How many have you tried?

Autumn chills make me think of Fall things, and that includes apples, pumpkins and falling leaves swirling with color.

Found on Pinterest, no artist name

Browsing the internet, I found quite a few apple-themed items. Buildings, furniture, kitchen appliances, clothing, jewelry, accessories - the list goes on…

And on…

And on.

Let’s have some apple-icious fun today.

(I have shared where you can find a few of the items, when I can find out information.)

You an easily transform your kitchen into an apple orchard with the variety of apple-themed products out there. Let’s start with a simple but effective way to get started with the transition - door/cabinet knobs.

Another fairly inexpensive change is something we don’t think about often - light switch covers.

On a severe budget? Why not take plain covers and decoupage them with images of apples cut from magazines, napkins or stickers? Finish with a good coat of Mod Podge and they will wipe down easily

Stove top burner covers used to be so popular. They are still a great way to protect the top of your stove and add some color.

Of course you will need an apple pie plate to bake an apple pie in that oven -

and apple measuring cups to make that apple pie -

and an apple utensil holder you need for the spoons and such to make that apple pie -

and an apple timer to know how long to bake that pie.

A nice lazy Susan (turntable) could be handy to hold napkins -

and some apple hooks to hang your apron on.

I found a ‘vintage’ 1960’s sewing pattern. You might need to wear this to serve your apple pie?

While we’re getting ready, let’s comb our hair and put in a hair clip or two -

Oops! Need to sew on a missing button -

For that I need some light to see.

We can set the table with a vase of apple blossoms-

or sit in our favorite apple chair -

…and listen to some music,

or perhaps watch a little television.

How many of these have you tried?

My favorite is Gala for eating, although I also like Pink Lady and Fuji.

Apples seem to go just about anywhere in your home.

I have had fun finding all the apple items.

Why not try out a new-to-you variety from the store?
