Layer it Up The air is shifting and the days are drawing to a close earlier every evening. This is the time of year we start to make the transition into fall, with its cooler temperatures and our desire for added warmth in our homes and in our wardrobes. So, add those layers and get ready for fall!

JEWELRY Hammered brass, soft, heart-shaped silhouettes nestled into a bed of wool and ready to be your new go-to pieces for your fall wardrobe, this set is the work of Little Acorns. Locally made and available through Etsy at etsy.com/ca/shop/LittleAcorns2015 or check out their page on Facebook.

CLOTHING One of the best things about fall wardrobes is layering. This dress by Toad & Co, in this stunning green called Ponderosa, pairs well with a great scarf, tall boots and a warm cup of coffee. Toad & Co. is now available at Take It Outside at 65 Inglis Street,

Truro, plus so many other options for creating a fall look that is perfect for you. You can also drop by their website at takeitoutside.ca

WOODEN BOWL & GLASS PUMPKIN Nothing says fall more than a bowl filled to the brim with fresh produce straight from the garden or sweet apples freshly plucked from the tree. This bowl is available from Winners, along with the glass blown pumpkin. Pumpkins are the quintessential piece for your seasonal decorations and with this beauty, you won’t have worry about making pie with it. For your closest location, check Winners.ca
