Home: Falling into Fall


                                                 Ad-Free Blog

Bits of Fall are creeping into the home-naturally.
We haven't had that much time for decorating, yet. 


Tomatoes are turning red in the kitchen window, 
while squash which has fallen off their vines ripen on the OLD  kitchen scale.


A few sunflowers nest in the Ivy urn, my favorite GREEN thing in the house.


A simple kitchen theme on the island, with an OLD enameled fish poacher, vintage s&p delft cows, 
chicks s&p, a baby dish, and NEW 
Sunflower arrangement  and some and resin chickens. 


The OLD thrift store pumpkin landed on the vintage B&G porcelain pedestal, cottage biscuit jar adds a touch of earth tones to the table, the NEW owl just hangs out.


Here an OLD Antique Ironstone pitcher holds thrift store faux flowers with real dried roses from our anniversary bouquet.


I love the fall tones that are earthy and jeweled at the same time.



A wooden trough (1940s cracker server) holds last year's acorns. 


Russet sunflowers juxtapose with the sweet coral dried roses.


I still haven't polished this OLD teapot, I simply love the golden patina it has rather than black.


Vintage Quaker Lace runner, adds the perfect homey touch under the antiques.


Our Antique spinning wheel hosts a chenille pumpkin from a thrift store. 
A little later I will bring out more pumpkins. 
Our fresh garden pumpkins will be limited,
 but I have a huge stash of gourds and faux pumpkins in a tote.
Last year we had enough fresh pumpkins for EVERYWHERE!


My Grandmother's OLD antique iron dog and the original doorstop house. This was at their summer cottage, and I remember playing with it as a very young child....memories.


A bird protects his egg deep in moss and dried hydrangeas on the buffet.
I love we are starting to luxuriate in the rich colors of Fall.

Stay safe!

    1. Like I have said---color is my favorite, we are hawing on a new dark beige sofa---to replace our tapestry ones in the living room. I'm afraid I will be bored, when I keep looking at the red covers. But then I wouldn't be able to use the burgundy touches, sigh. Fall is my favorite! Take care and thanks for visiting, Sandi

  2. Sandi, what gorgeous things to enjoy for autumn! I never decorate for the seasons - love seeing what other people do, but I can't seem to manage it!
