Fall w~i~n~d~s whip up the lake and have our
Weeping Willows whirling.
Autumn brushes up against our doors…
as the last summer leaves of our glorious fig trees
succumb to fall’s inevitable embrace.
Our scrolled metal bench looks lonely sans summer pillows & pad but I find
comfort somehow in the familiar clutter of falling leaves.
Inside…
I’ve pulled together a simple vintage box of Thanksgiving time ornaments,
tucked into Spanish moss with real Magnolia leaves scattered about.
To help set the scene, I’ve borrowed a wintry suede & horn lamp from the Mr.’s study!
{Love shopping from home!}
Do you think he’ll notice?
But I’m afraid fall is fleeting at our house.
Christmas is waiting in the wings and already starting to take shape!
BTW Sorry, I’ve been away…college visits & producing videos for our son’s High School Football team.
I am after all, blessed to be first & foremost…
a MOM,
XXO
