Vintage Cottage Thanksgiving in the Holiday Cupboard

Hello to November! We're in the Holiday Cupboard today, playing with turkeys and vintage Thanksgiving pieces to put together a grouping that celebrates the last month of fall. Before we get into all the Christmas decorating and excitement, I like to take a bit to commemorate a time of blessing and Thanksgiving. It's easy to run past the Thanksgiving holiday; to get up the tree and deck the halls, but let's pay tribute to this warm and cozy time of Giving Thanks.

Are You Ready for Some Thanksgiving Inspiration?

Hello Friends, this is the time of year that I'm a bit crazy juggling 3 seasonal decor themes. "Mid" fall with some nostalgic October fun, late fall with Thanksgiving, and then starting to think about Christmas by bringing out the Christmas tree and evergreens. Here we go into the slide toward the holidays, so during the next little bit I'll be sharing some inspiration for Thanksgiving into Christmas as I make the transition from Fall to the Holidays.

October Garden Room and the Baker's Rack

We're at the final stretch of October, and I'm sharing my Garden Room wicker sitting area with fall seasonal color. This flying geese patterned vintage quilt is one of my favorites with golds and autumnal hued fabrics. It almost always ends up on the settee at some point in Fall.

Fall Vignettes with Faux Flowers and a Sweet Floral Gift

This little mishmash post came about because of an empty orange Du Monde Chicory Coffee can. We bought this chicory coffee several years ago and when emptied out, my husband mentioned I might want to save it because of the advertising and pretty orange color. Good call, Hubby! When this fall rolled around I was excited to see how I could use it in a small floral arrangement.  

October Seed Box on the Farm Table

Oh October, my favorite month!!!

We don't have many changing leaves yet; it's been a two month dry spell, so I don't know if we'll have anything too pretty for leaf peeping. But I'm trying to make up for the lackluster outside viewing by having some fun with the inside fall décor.  

Mantel with my Favorite Fall Wreath

Hi Friends, I always look forward to fall and decorating the mantel to create a cozy comfortable space in the hearth room. I'm all about autumn hues and changing leaves, pumpkins, pears, and dried hydrangeas. Quilts and pillows and cozy throws make the seating area a great place to cuddle up, have a cup of tea and read. 

Welcome to the Fall Front Porch

Hi friends, Happy October! It's taken me awhile to get the porch decorated this season because it's been so warm around here and the yard has been a mess because of the drought we're in. No sense drawing attention to the porch when the yard looks atrocious. Although...  we have a long school pick-up line each afternoon at 3:30 on the street in front and I sort of feel an obligation to have something nice for them to look at. Nothing like a line of 40 cars coming by critiquing your outdoor décor each afternoon!
