It’s harvest time in our little apple orchard . Dozens of crisp apples from our columnar and
espalier apple trees, ready to be picked, peeled and sliced for apple crisps, tarts…
and perhaps a caramel apple or two. {LOVE}
An inviting tray of the red, gold and green apples rests on our entry table at the front door…
making for a classic & tasty fall welcome. I love the fresh & earthy look of the warm modern wood tray
against the worn hammered copper table, brimming with the seasonally inspired apples.
Some of the leaves are still clinging to the stems. They’re not perfect like the polished and waxed
varieties you find in you local market but they ARE home-grown and I like them…
imperfections and all.
I teamed the tray with our old, crumbling white urn filled with earthy notes of
ferns, pods and winter kale.
However…
the glamour girl in me, couldn’t resist adding just a touch of gold.
So, I tucked in a few of those lovely real
squash, I dressed up with milky white chalk paint and streaks of gold leaf.
I’m liking the ‘Cinderella’ fall harvest vibe!

Hey Monica,
Oooh, the pumpkins are sweet with a touch of gold. The one fruit I wish we could grow is apples. But then I wouldn’t have oranges and mangoes, and organic apples grown in your state are almost always available. So it is a good trade off. Modern with rustic, so fabulous and you do it so well.
Hi Donna, Thank you! I have to say though, home-grown oranges and mangoes sound pretty nice! Wow!
Thank you for stopping in!
Monica
