Now, my calendar says autumn begins.
I step outside and I can tell.
The breeze has picked up a little
and the sunshine has a different feel.
Around the Cottage the leaves
haven't quite begun to flutter down
but there are definite signs
that they plan on starting soon.
Little vignettes of color
in the process of letting go.
I love this season of the year.
The colors and scents associated with it
are warm and inviting
and I always feel more content
when surrounded by them.
In our past homes, I somehow always ended up decorating with rusts and blues.
Whenever I think back on those times,
I feel a peace within.
Maybe that is why autumn feels just right to me.
Our sitting room is where we spend
the majority of our time each day.
That is where we watch TV,
eat most dinners on the couch
and where we usually entertain family and friends.
It is the one room that we have to walk through whenever we go from the front door to the back.
It is literally the heart of the home
and I have never really been happy with it.
Well, that is about to change.
It most likely won't be completed before Christmas
grab your choice of a fall beverage,
and let me show you my true colors
and some autumn vignettes around the Cottage...

ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Janice. I do love the colors..Happy fall..xxoJudy
DeleteYour home always looks so lovely, Judy. This post is no exception. Your colors are beautiful and your watercolors are outstanding. You should sell your prints! Enjoy the fall my friend! xo
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Kim. Well, I will admit that I'm improving somewhat, but not to that extent!! But I do appreciate your faith in me, my friend..xxoJudy
DeleteJudy, I absolutely love walking around your home to view these wonderful autumn vignettes. I'm posting next Monday, and doing much the same. I love autumn, and it's no secret that I love holiday touches. I've focused on crows for my upcoming post, so your crow/raven piece jumped right out to me. I'm escepiclly touched with your works of art. I so admire your talent. That sweet puppy face touches my heart. Happy October!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Sarah. That is too sweet of you. That crow is supposed to be a replica of a weather vane, but I should have elevated it on a book or stand because it is hard to see the rest of him. He was a silver metal but I sprayed him black to look more primitive. I was pleased how he turned out..Happy fall, my friend..xxoJudy
DeleteCandles surrounded by dried leaves arrangements are a fire hazard, it would take either a cat or little kid knocking it over and the place goes up in flames.
ReplyDeleteOh, you are so right. That is why I only light real candles for photo ops. Rest assured that the minute the photo is taken, they are blown out. However the majority of my candles are battery operated so kudos to the candle companies for making them, evidently, look real. Next time you happen to visit, maybe you might enjoy all of the time and energy that goes into making a house, a home,. and signing your name.
DeleteYour home is full of all the pretty fall touches! So nice !
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Bernideen. I love the fall season and all that goes with it..Happy fall, my friend..xxoJudy
