WW: Back to School Edition

Yes folks, summer is winding down. (Sniff, Sniff.) Temps are dropping and maple trees are starting to turn. There's a scattering of leaves already littering the yard and I even spied some candy corn at the market the other day. School shopping is in full swing. Regardless of how much I may resist it, fall is just around the bend. Time for schedules and after school activities and all that good stuff.

So, I've been working on a back to school collection for my etsy shoppe. I could really use your help. Just tell me which one is your fav.

Books were purchased at HalfPrice Books. The photos were taken at Usher's Ferry Historic Village, just outskirts of Cedar Rapids, IA. (The little girl is a period actor who does historical reenactments.)
