Autumn has finally arrived here in our neck of the woods....
This bookcase near the stairs showcases a simple vignette to remind us of your kingdom life and responsibility.. that, first of all, we are the sheep of His pasture, and follow the guidance of our Shepherd... but we are, also, warriors, equipped to do spiritual battle to subdue the earth of its dark forces and reflect the light of the One who loves us best, Jesus Christ!
As I peer into the mirror, I see fallish hues reflected...
When I look outside, there are definite signs that autumn is here!
Lynn and I have had quite a fun time on our various pumpkin escapades...Im still seeking the perfect flat pumpkin that Ive been promised will arrive next week!
I am thinking to create a pyramid of pumpkins if I can find just the right ones! heheheh
For now, these beauties please me.
Again, I am so pleased to be using my silk gingko leaves I found in Boston last fall, along with the Japenese lanterns.
As I move across the room, the fiery hues of autumn attract me f rom the mantel...
My bronzed birds found a home on the mantel, as well.
This table has been in varying degrees of readiness, and now it appears complete...
I am quite happy with the final effect!

As I move on into the parlor, I spy the wall hanger appears to be complete...

This year, I am enjoying the beautifu hand-crafted wreath of oak and acorns that my mother made several years ago, when she participaed in the the SW Virgnina Mountain Guild.
Stepping around the corner into the dining room, it surely doesnt look like autumn has taken a break.... blazing colors attend every
spot!

It was great to finally bring up the box of autumn fare and find this arrangement that needed only a bit sprucing up... it accents the black and white with the most welcoming array of cheerfulness!
I am still loving the pewter colored napkins from Kohl's and the Armetale accents that lend their country quaintness and warmth to the scene!
I started my small collection many years ago when I was teaching Virgina History and decorated our first home in Colonial Americana.. so why shouldnt it lend its grace to my olde English themes!
My black transferware, the Herdsman, from Royal Stafford are the perfect compliment to this table

How pretty this is. You've captured all the glory of Autumn in your home décor and tablescape.
ReplyDeleteYour home looks lovely and cozy for the coming season. Love the birds on the mantel! Your tablescape is so pretty with the transferware. Thank you for sharing at my HOME and have a beautiful weekend. Blessings, Sandi
ReplyDeleteLovely décor. I love the transferware plates!
ReplyDeleteOh, it is falling all around your home! Everything looks beautiful! Your mantel is gorgeous and I like the little twinkly lights. I may have to copy that idea! I have those same birds but mine are gold (too bright) and were purchased from Home Interiors many many years ago. I need to spray mine and get them more bronzey. Thanks for popping in to see me.
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
