Fall Is In The Air!

Sometimes it's hard for me to transition from one season to the next when we have to start putting our fall merchandise and decorations out so early! 

Thankfully, this arrived in our mail yesterday and it got my spirits up and I began to see that I WILL enjoy Fall and all that it has to offer!

After all, it is when we get to start enjoying college football games, putting out pumpkins and mums and enjoying some much needed cooler weather!

As well as planning our Thanksgiving menus and guest lists!

I was so pleased to see that this photo shoot taken in the shop by the great people at Tea Time magazine turned out so well and truly showcased some of our most special pieces of antique transferware as well Alison's gorgeous flower arrangement in an antique sugar mold.

I didn't even notice right away that they had also showcased some of our pieces in other parts of the magazine. 

I really like how the pictures turned out. 

I'm loving the rust colored chargers underneath our antique plates! Unfortunately, those are not from our shop! They certainly add a pop of color to the table setting!

I thought this table was really pretty as well. It was in the article right after ours if you come across a copy of this magazine. It is just now out on the shelves.

As you can see we do have a lot of items that work really well with fall tablescapes!

And we even have our twig Acorns out for all to see in our window display! 

Yes…we are definitely trying to get in the fall spirit!

So, the next question is when to start decorating at home? Have you started planting for fall? Or thought about which color pumpkins you will use this year? I'm always so torn! I love the vivid colors but I'm also very drawn to the shades of white, salmon and even green.

No matter which you choose it will definitely signal that fall is truly here once I start seeing the pumpkins on the patios and front steps of my friends houses and in the shop windows that I love so much!

And it will definitely make me thankful for this season in life and for the fact that we celebrate such a wonderful American holiday.

Who's Ready for Fall?

I know I am! I've been busy browsing some fall parties we hosted last year and it's making me long for cooler weather, fall colors because they make me happy and some pumpkins and mums to cheer up my withered looking yard after this summer's relentless heat!

Look at how easy these hanging votives are to use. No more hours of "arranging" flowers! Just hang them and you've got a stunning centerpiece!

One of my favorite fall flowers is mums...it just doesn't get much better for that vibrant splash of fall color!

When my children were young they would always be so excited when carpool dropped them off and I had just put out the pots of mums with the pumpkins. It is certainly easy for anyone to do and it gives that "Home Sweet Home" feel quickly to the out side of your house.

Of course, this table was done at the shop for selling purposes but it still gives the idea of how to begin your fall decorating schemes.

Now, for a dressier and more fancy feel, these delicious looking roses make the ultimate statement on any table or sideboard! In fact, they just might steal the show if you're not careful!  Even a "non floral" person can attempt these creations because the candelabra makes it quite simple.

 A little glitter of light with the votive candles is such a nice touch...especially for an evening get together!

All of these fall colored flowers and fruits easily transition from the fall tablescapes to the Christmas table and you don't have to throw anything out if you can keep it "freshened up" by spritzing with water and changing out one or two flowers if they start to look "sad". 

I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to the fall colors, the cooler weather and of course entertaining with friends and family!
