Tweaking a Seed Box Display for Thanksgiving



A few weeks ago I put together a fun late October seed box display on the farm table in the Garden Room. I've really enjoyed it and wanted to keep the basic elements, but give it a re-boot for Thanksgiving. It was an easy fix with just a few pieces.

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.
