Those two pots of Coleus are by the bench out front of Tipped. I placed them there to cheer up the corner and they sure understood the assignment. I'm wondering if anyone would like to overwinter them indoors, or take cuttings as starters for next spring? It seems a shame to let them get caught by the frost, and yes, (shh) the frost will come. 
While we're talking about beautiful healthy plants, I thought you might like to see how one of the bouquets we have weekly from Forgotten Orchard Farm looks in a vase. They're gorgeous. We had two bouquets gracing the table at our staff end-of-summer potluck BBQ here in the yard this past Sunday. Right away, the table looked glamorous! I'll let you in on a secret/not secret - our Tipped team is full of creative cooks who brought the tastiest salads to the potluck.  Ok. Let's talk food! These oat and coconut cookies sure satisfy the craving for something a little different. You do have to like coconut because that comes through. They're perfect with a cup of tea!  I think I forgot to mention that Tipped is restocked with local honey - wildflower honey from Huntbach Bee and creamed honey from Stonedge Farm. Mmm  We're also restocked with tights, leggings and socks from Hue. We have slim, sleek leggings and fuzzy warm jeggings with functional back pockets. Plus a few, ahem, cough cough, holiday socks.  There's been a nip of fall in the air. That colourful Orientique jacket has a smooth cotton lining that feels fantastic. It's shown here over a linen dress from our vintage collection. The plaid jumper is a way-back machine for those of us who lived through this classic style (a *few* years back). It hasn't lost its allure or its usefulness as a staple in your cool-weather wardrobe.  Allure and appeal, this tri-colour jacket by Orientique might be just what you need to style your black and tans. It's cotton, has two pockets, and it's an easy piece to feel comfortable in while you look smart.  A recent Tipped visitor said: “I've been there!” Ponte Vecchio #1 by Joan de Bot. This is an original framed oil on linen of the famous bridge in Florence, Italy. Joan de Bot is a Dutch artist, born in the Netherlands in 1948, who sadly passed away this past May. She exhibited in Europe, then later in New York, where she lived for some years, until her return to Europe. https://www.joandebot.com/ This piece is from a private collection and is priced at $2500. At auction, it might fetch $4000 or more. It's an honour to have it at Tipped where we can appreciate it thoroughly while it awaits its next home. Come gaze upon it! Appreciating art and artistry all around,

 "Rob is one of the unique voices of North American music: a captivating performer, stellar songwriter, and a gifted storyteller. Rob's original material is a masterclass in songwriting; spare, essential lyrics that get at the meat of his topics with no filler. Lines like "I want to start a fight just to let you win" resonate with anyone that has ever navigated a long-term relationship. Rob is equally compelling as a music historian, with a keen sense of "songs that matter" from the early days of North American popular music. All of this delivered with one of the great voices of modern folk and his signature, hard-driving fingerstyle guitar." Thom Lambert, Haliburton Folk Society https://roblutes.com Doors open at 7 pm. Music starts at 7:30 pm. There will be an intermission with cash-only, by-donation refreshments provided by the church - and they're tasty! There are no assigned seats.
