Ahhh…welcome to the weekend.
And this weekend over here it is all about
fairytale pumpkins, linen napkins and much more.
Fairytale Pumpkins
I have an announcement to make…
Last week, autumn finally arrived at our house.
After weeks of fruitless searches at various stores across 3 counties-
we finally bumped into a whole bunch of yummy
pale shabby perfection princess pumpkin goodness.
I used restraint and didn’t buy every last one-
but I did bring a few home with me.
I also found bunches of fresh eucalyptus, antique hydrangeas and pale pink and green roses.
It was a good day to stop at Whole Foods.
Blush & Blue
While I was out on that banner shopping day- I also dashed into HomeGoods for a couple sets of napkins. Have you ever noticed that like socks- napkins seem to get eaten by the washer?
Or the dryer? Or the linen closet monster when he is hungry?
I have several sets of napkins in drawers
but it seems like I am always one. short. when I am setting a table.
So, as I searched for napkins-
I found the most amazing, most delicate and soft pale blush colored throw mixed in with all the rich jewel toned autumn throws. And those pillows. I mean, seriously. I fell in love.
Christmas is in the air
Sooo… don’t yell at me.. I know it is October.
But over here, Christmas is already starting to appear.
Even as I am decorating for fall.
If you were to come over for a cup of coffee… you would find Christmas is on one side of the room and fall is on the other.
Welcome to my seasonally confused but happy world.
Can I just tell you… I am SO excited about Christmas this year.
I have so many ideas. Plans. Visons for sugarplums and gingerbread and all things merry.
And I am going to be starting to share some of those ideas starting in November- and there will be some amazing things for you this season as well-so definitely stay tuned!
Sebastian
(aka mr.weenie)
Last week I mentioned that my grand dog Sebastian wasn’t well.
He had some tummy trouble but thankfully a few days and a stop at the vet and he is good
and back to his making mischief ways.
and back to his making mischief ways.
And the other morning
I walked out into the living room and found that little stinker staring at me
while wearing his pajamas.
All that making mischief that he does- well, you see a dog wearing pajamas –
and you can’t help but pick them up and give them love.
And take a photo. Or five.
One of my absolute favorite mantels was this simple pumpkin mantel from autumn past.
I love the natural elements and sweet touches that mixed in- and I am sharing all the details for what you need (and links to purchase them) to recreate this autumn mantel styling
over at Ebay this week.
I would love it if you would click over to take a peek and if you like my posts~
share them with your friends.

You have such talent, such an eye for beauty and putting beautiful things together. I wonder, if I gave you free reign with my bank account, would you come over and re-decorate my home? A dream come true!!!
Yes, dogs wearing pajamas are the best! Thanks for the smile today. I enjoy reading your blog from the midwest prairie, where we get fairytale pumpkins earlier than you 🙂 But in a couple of weeks I will be enjoying the Bay area with a cross country move. Hope I run into you sometime!
love the photos, especially the one of your little guy. Just too cute. Would love to find a throw that color,such a score.????
Have a great weekend.
Your home is beautiful and your little grand dog, Sebastian, is absolutely the most precious little thing I've ever seen! I love your autumn mantel.
