The first sign we notice is the emergence of little forest critters scurrying to and fro... with all of their industrious energy gathering up nuts and other bits of food to store it seems that the lazy days are drawing to a close. Shroom notices this too and with a sweet smile she says that her brother is surely on his way. Even as she makes that announcement the sun becomes hidden behind some clouds and the air cools noticeably. We all look around to see where this new visitor may be coming from but all we see are some of the leaves in the trees changing color and falling to the ground. Then we hear a couple thumps as some acorns fall from the giant oak that has been shading us. Shroom suddenly squeals in delight and we notice that what fell from the tree wasn't just an acorn, but another of these small sprites! He quickly jumps up off the ground brushing the dirt from his knees before grabbing up Shroom and twirling her around in a big bear hug. Once he sets her back on her feet she gives a playful tap to his acorn cap and tugs on his hand to bring him closer to our group of onlookers. Shroom then introduces us to her brother, Nutter, before saying her goodbyes.
After her departure from our magical glen, Nutter wastes no time in doing his job to bring autumn to the land. The day begins to shorten and there is a crispness to the air... definitely time to find my jacket again. But it's not all work and no play for this industrious little chap as he seems to make a game out of helping his forest friends gather and get ready for the even colder days ahead. It's hard not to join the fun that he makes out of hunting for nuts and berries so off we go into the trees to see what we can find with our new friend Nutter.
Oh, and if you like nuts in your candy, check this out... The Nutter candy kit includes; one Sweet November Nutter rubber stamp, ten 6x6 sheets of Crate Little Sprout paper, small Basic Grey acrylic stamp, Prima flowers, Kaiser Craft pearls, ribbon, twine, buttons, felt acorns, four envelopes, four card blanks and my card.
