Good Morning Kindred Spirits....
When I awoke this morning, I noticed the trees
were swaying n the wind...a cold front came through
overnight, which means Fall is almost here.....
And I could wait no longer to begin the creative process
of dressing our home for the season...it's such a happy time!
I decided this year to simply
add to decor pieces that have their place.
rather than move them and have to store them somewhere else....
and it's working out beautifully....
the beauty of sunflowers is that they work so well
for both summer and autumn....
I certainly have been loving a deep green for the kitchen this year...
a small vignette for a few of my favorite cookbooks...
The Divine Miss M gifted me this beautiful soft throw
for my birthday and it became impossible not to
place this on my grandparents windsor chair....a place of honor...

One afternoon, I decided to dress up the lanterns
Football pre season is underway, and hot beignet's came to mind...
If you cannot go to Cafe Du Monde', you can bring
their french doughnuts to you.....
And I am on a kick to bake homemade bread....
turns out perfect everytime...so good with butter and jam
And, I tried a new recipe for Custard Pie, which was Mother's favorite..
I am now a believer in using heavy cream rather than milk...divine I tell you!

I can sense a change in the air.....
I do so hope your days are productive and happy..
remember to enjoy a few hours outdoors
and calm your mind in nature.....
the transition from summer to fall is a beautiful thing ....

I tend to cook seasonally, and I have started cooking some of my autumn/winter meals. It's wonderful! I am waiting until after Labor Day, but have been getting my autumn decor ready!
ReplyDeleteI love Cafe Du Monde!!! I've been there several times over the years and even took Louis Dean 6 or 7 years ago!
ReplyDeleteI'm finishing up the front porch tonight and will do the rest of the gazebo tomorrow and then I am SOP ready for September First!!!!
