Cook Your Fall Vignette

This is a Fall vignette that you can totally cook when you are through with the display. Rich vibrant colors paired with the copper and small pumpkins assure you it is for Fall. You have to get your green veggies to stay healthy so I thought if I display them I will for sure cook them afterwards! Vibrant red roses paired with brussel sprouts and artichokes are occupying my big copper tub. We actually had a few wisteria blooms on the bush, I don't remember that happening in mid-September ever. A couple of pumpkins appear to be floating nestled on top of the green glasses.

Vintage candlesticks add a flavor of history.

I cut a little of everything that was blooming in the yard this weekend, including zinnias, jute and wisteria.

I like the silvery look of the back of these leaves, I can't ever remember the name.

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.
