Fall Splendor....

I took a walk around the block earlier today just to catch a glimpse of the marvelous fall foliage. It's often easy to miss here in the valley. And while it may lack when compared to some of the east coast, I am thankful for the the lovely fall rainbow I do get to see. It was a nice way to start the Thanksgiving week. Hope everyone has a great week and holiday!

Fluttering from the autumn tree."
Emily Bronte



"Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns."
George Elliot

As I rest in the cottage away from the 103 degree temps. outside, I find myself dreaming of fall. I can't wait! While I love the colors of fall, I also love incorporating sweet pastels and gentle florals into fall decor. So I wanted to give everyone a 'heads up' on an event that I will be hosting September 4-7 called "Show Us Your Pretty Pumpkin."
Take a pic of your prettiest pumpkin, leave a comment with a link, and Sept. 4-7 I will add your post to the list. I can't wait to see what amazing creations everyone comes up with; you ladies are so creative! I'll post a reminder again right before the event.



I will also be giving away some fall goodies during the event, including the pumpkin pictured above.
