TRANSITION TO FALL

 Good MORNING to all my autumn lovers out there....
today I thought I would share little elements of the season
that may provide inspiration for you to use in your own home....
I have been holding off until September 1st to begin the real work,
but going through our bins, and selecting certain decor pieces
has been rather enjoyable and not so rushed or overwhelming.

 adding one of my favorite fall magazines to the ottoman came first,
and then thought my small white lighted pumpkin would be a lovely accent.....

And, new fall scented plug-in's was the absolute perfect way
to begin...that lovely apple scent filled the home in a soft way...
it reminded me so much of apple picking in Maine....
a perfect way to welcome a new season...

It seems green is my chosen color this year and I added a new
lovely sage hand towel to the guest bath, along with this
beautiful leaf plate. which will serve as my soap dish....

I love it ,,,,and... it's Lucy approved!



I recently have been loving little composition books to write down
recipes and notes....such a pretty vintage vibe....

And, then to finish the look I wanted....
I added one of my favorite woolen scarves to complete this 
little vignette on the ottoman....

And, now we turn our attention to the kitchen....

I love making soup on the weekend....
full of flavor and fresh veggies...

I do believe a crockpot is my favorite appliance

Soup and hot cornbread muffins....warms the soul

This sweet lady at the grocery told me about this salad dressing
and urged me to try it...she loves it and thought I would too....
so into my cart it went....
and she was so right,,,it's delicious

A fresh salad makes a wonderful and light lunch

I could no longer resist to add a few fall touches to the piano...
my vintage sheet music of THE AUTUMN LEAVES...
accented by a little wreath and a lovely velvet pumpkin...

My sister found that beautiful photo at an estate sale and 
gifted it to me....beautiful don't you think?

And lastly, a little touch of Halloween on the cake stand.....

I think it's a great beginning to a new season.....
remember to enjoy your days, enjoy your home
and make it your happy place!
Love y'all to bits....
