Dainty little white pumpkins
yep,
it’s official…
Love them.
These baby white pumpkins were too cute to leave at the grocery store
and so a basket full of them came home with me.
It was around $10.00 for all of them.
I played around with the Living room mantel today…
and those pumpkins all gathered together are so charming.
A pair of wooden lanterns glow softly with candlelight-
perfect for chilly fall nights by the fire.
The reproduction French zinc mirror was a
clearance find at Home Goods.
Love the chalky gray weathered finish.
I am sure I will be tweaking this … I put it together in a hurry on little sleep.
Last evening we went to see the San Francisco Opera’s production of Turandot.
It was absolutely amazing.
‘Nessun Dorma’ is one of my favorite songs and watching it performed
gave me goosebumps.
You know the performance is fantastic when that happens.
Anything Puccini is my favorite and though we had seen Turandot before-
there is nothing quite like the S.F. Opera House
and the caliber of talent they bring to their productions.

Courtney, you got that mirror at Home Goods. Lucky you! I love the white pumpkins, too.
I know, right? Puccini is Magnificent! I am about to be in our local Opera company's production of Madame Butterfly. (I'm just the "mother".) What a genius. We honeymooned in San Fran and were able to see A Mid-Summer Night's Dream at the Shakespeare Festival. It was amazing. You luck duck! Oh, and I love your mantle, too.
This is really beautiful! I love the little white pumpkins, especially all grouped together like that.
Hi Courtney,
Love the all white mantel. It has such a vintage look. Sat down a few minutes ago to browse through my magazine that came in the mail, "Romantic Homes" Holiday decorating issue. Much to my delight, there it was. A page about your blog. You are FAMOUS girl! There was a pic of those metal chairs that I loved so much that I had to copy. Congrats! You deserve to be featured!
I LOVE the white pumpkins and all grouped together on your mantel is just gorgeous!

stunning! Pumpkins and lanterns are always a winning combo.
An opera! We've always wanted to go. How wonderful. Mantle looks fab.
This is just so beautiful Courtney! I think I even spotted a few shells tucked in there? 🙂 The layering of all the different tones of white creates such a gorgeous effect. How fun to go to the opera! My favorite is Lakme and I would absolutely love to se a performance of that sometime…probably wishful thinking in this season of life!

I love how you combined the little white pumpkins with the green hydrangeas. I will have to steal this idea!
So jealous you saw Turandot. I want to see it myself. Especially love Nessun Dorma as well. Always a goose bump too. It must have been spectacular!
Very sweet, love the contrast with the grey mantel, or is that blue?, or just the way it hits the light,
Simply gorgeous!
Courtney,
