Earlier this week I started introducing decor that would move me gently into autumn, using bolder colors on the mantel... for example...
Using found objects from other rooms, it is fun to house shop to coordinate color themes that help make transitions.
Now for the sunroom, I have two inspirations.... First of all, I am so excited about Lil Birdie's arrival in September, I decided to highlight this fabulous planter our daughter gave me for Christmas last year. Is that a Lil Birdie I see on there??
And I love how this fabric I bought last summer to make this table runner keeps the mood summery with a hint of things to come!
simply delicious!

Your photographs are lovely. I am so looking forward to fall this year. Every since we moved to Texas I practically beg for fall to come around and get some relief from this heat. I love your flower arrangements, I went looking for some new ones just yesterday, but I didn't find a thing.

Your table looks really pretty. My mother-in-law had those same dishes; she passed them along to my son and he's storing them at our house now. They are beautiful to use for a fall tablescape.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for a table using an apple theme. Your Fransican Apple china is very pretty and the perfect pattern. I love your apple runner and the flower centerpiece. I was a elementary teacher and love the start of school, too. Have a great week!

A wonderful tablescape using apples! I'm not ready for Autumn yet but I guess down south it's much hotter than here along the eastern coast of Canada. Your cake recipe sounds delish! Thank you for sharing this at my HOME and enjoy your weekend.
