I saw you standing with the wind and the rain in your face
And you were thinking 'bout the wisdom of the leaves and their grace
When the leaves come falling down
In September when the leaves, come falling down

And at night the moon is shining on a clear, cloudless sky
And when the evening shadows fall I'll be there by your side
When the leaves come falling down
In September when the leaves, come falling down ....
Van Morrison



I am dedicating this design to all my "daughters". When I began this design, I had a certain concept in mind, but like life, things changed through the process. As I changed directions, tried a different method to make my "mistake" more tolerable I realized the design was no more a mistake than it was perfect. With every twist I made to "smudge" out imperfections, the more it resembled crumpled leaves....falling down...
My wish to all my "daughters", and you know who you are, is to love yourself, your life, and most importantly, all your mistakes. Often it is the mistakes that give us our growth, and sometimes it is the best thing we did.
Girls, I dedicate this cape-like jacket in a very soft crepe to you....in colors of autumn leaves, and remember, just as my favorite artist sings...."I'll be there by your side...."

Leaves Come Falling Down.....
