AUTUMN FLORALS, SUNFLOWER FAVORITES AND SEASONAL FAVORITE FOODS

Hello Kindred Spirits...
as summer temps define our days,
it's my time to give consideration to
entertaining and celebrating the fall season. 
I will begin with seasonal details...
such as choosing a sunflower theme for
nooks and crannies of the kitchen....



I sure look forward to seeing what the farmhouse table will
look like with a few vintage sunflower linens and dinnerware.....
these pieces alone give me style inspiration....

I have a few images in mind to dress the piano and also
the bar cart....
hues of an Indian Summer to spruce up our home....

I ordered some fall florals for my birthday this year
and created a fall arrangement for the foyer table
in deep moody colors of purple, navy and rust....

I love the end result and will add a few autumn decor pieces to
complete the look....

Including the beautiful golden velvet mushroom

When welcoming family on the weekend, I love
having a relaxed spread of foods...to snack on....

A semi-homemade loaf of pumpkin bread chocked full
of chocolate chips and pecans.....

and when you find yourself down to one lucious apple,
it's the perfect time to make a cinnamon apple cake!

Cottage style decorating is a state of mind...it's all in the details...
