Pumpkins On The Table

Hello!  I have a simple table set up outside for us today.  It's simple but has plenty of color.  Roses from my yard share my table with store bought roses.  There's pumpkins and ornamental squash as well out here.  A bird's nest with a little egg.  All these beauties are resting on blue toile and blue willow plates. 


Blue always looks its best paired with orange and red.  We take a note from nature's blue skies in Fall and imitate it in our decorating. 



But the blue skies always outdo anything we could attempt.  Blue skies with cooler temps are always guaranteed to make you smile.


If we were to be able to live in any season we choose, I would stay in Autumn.  It's exhilarating!






Not unlike taking that first swim in the blue water of swimming pools and oceans in the hot summer, after months of intense heat the cool blue skies rejuvenate us.


The chilly temperatures bring out an excitement, a joyous relief knowing the heavy burden of heat has left us for the season.

  5. Beautiful colors to welcome fall. I do like seeing blue dinnerware this time of year. I don't pull mine out this time of year and I really need to remember to do so. Lovely table!
