HELLO SEPTEMBER...HILTON HEAD, BIRTHDAYS AND NEW FALL DECOR

 We have arrived....
and I know so many of you are as thrilled as I am
that summer has left us and we can begin the fall festivities....

I have so many ideas to share with you.....

The coffee bar has been styled and I am so happy with the look

I love these little tidbit cups from Hearth and Hand...
beautiful colors....

And I chose this vintage fall farmhouse print for the backdrop..
so peaceful for the autumn season...

The mantel  is just what I had envisioned..
style changes over the years and that is a good thing..
I used new art this year for an autumn representation

I chose the candle scents carefully..
a coffee house aroma in the kitchen...

and a beautiful candle warmer in the foyer,
with the smell of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies....
HEAVEN'S TO BETSY...it's divine

I am still deciding on the tablescape for the farmhouse kitchen,
but I know I want to use this quilted table runner....

Our son and daughter-in-law spent Labor Day weekend
over in Hilton Head

The rain stopped long enough to get in bike ride on the
beautiful Low Country island..
it's also gator country....

Miss Irma celebrated her 89th birthday down in Florida....
looks marvelous doesn't she?

It's going to be a great season...
football, good food, cozy sweaters, 
wine by the firepit and favorite fall reads
will be coming up here at Estelle's...

I must remember to add the candy corn to the grocery list
this week....and find my little glass pumpkin jar to hold
all these delicious treats....

'And the sun took a step back,
the leaves lulled themselves to sleep
and autumn was awakened"
