Fall...

I love days like today...

the air is crisp like an apple

*

the sun warms you like a wool blanket

*

the colors are vibrant you need shades

*

the smells are sweet and sour

*

the sounds of falling leaves are like the rustle of a tuutuu

It's a perfect Fall day!

Happy Tuesday!

Fall Entry...

So, this image seems to be making the rounds in the
blog-o-sphere world and after the 10th time I saw it
I realized why...it's down right brilliant and beautiful.

I believe in embracing the moment and the current season,
this means fall and the coming weeks leading to Thanksgiving
until December 21st or so.

This picture encompasses the seasons feeling.

Enjoy!

Crisp days and plaid...

I am loving this Indian Summer...
Crisp nights and mornings with sunny afternoons.
Absolutely lovely!
It's a great excuse to pull out those favorite plaids.

Saturday afternoon picnic...

warm and snuggly on those chilling nights...

perfectly upholstered...

don't be shy, deck out the walls...

why only one, why not a stack...

I know there is an apple pie hiding inside...

cozy home...

so, pull out those plaid blankets, pack a picnic and cozy up in your favorite
sweater and enjoy all the season offers.

Decor seasonally styled...

I have a hard time when the season of summer ends
and it becomes fall as you probably have already figured
out by my previous post.
To help with the transition I decorate or what I like to call
a little re-merchandising of my house. It's a mind trick I play
on myself and you know what, it works.

Here are some of the little things I do to spice up the season.

a little burlap on the table...

leaves are natures way of dressing the season...

 

accessorize the mantel with touches of fall...

 

different nuts sprinkled around candles add textures and brown tones...

 

placing orange and white pumpkins balance the orange...

 

sunflowers are my favorite transition flowers...

 

a few pillows or blankets in oranges and browns make a room

that much cozier...

The sun is still out which makes this all that much easier and of course little changes
in my scenery goes with out being said.
Have a little fun with your own seasonal changes.

Tis the season to be Fall...

Today was the last day of Summer but it felt more
like the first day of Fall.
I'm a lover of Summer and mourn just a little every year
when it comes to an end but I would be lying to say their isn't
something about Fall or better yet an Indian Summer that I did like.

Fall Decor and Warm Browns

 

Donuts on a cold Fall morning

 

chunky sweaters, boots and scarves

 

pumpkins

 

Here's to a beautiful Fall
and a farewell to another Summer.

Ciao,

Summer is still here...

to all those nay sayers out there
bitching and moaning that summer is over...
please look outside at the blue sky, the big yellow sun
and feel the warmth on your skin, this is summer.
in a month or two you can tell me it's over until then...

fall....

it's always a bit of a transition

when fall arrives

but once i get in the groove of it

and get over the fact that i am going to see

the sun only a handful of hours a day

i embrace the chill, shades of oranges,

dark woods, warm sweaters,

and rain boots.
