The neutrals of Autumn....

Next week is the first day of fall...in many areas the days are still warm with a hint of the cool crisp weather to come...Autumn....a gorgeous season with the browns, oranges & greens...all beautiful! The last few years I have decorated my home in more neutrals...I love the white pumpkins which seem to be everywhere now...a trend that seems to be here to stay...I still love the traditional colors of autumn...they bring back wonderful memories of past fall seasons. Its a nice change to use the whites this time of year & make new traditions interwoven with the past ones...Sharing with you a few faves this week..the neutrals of fall...

Indian Summer...

Before summer fades into fall...there's this beautiful interlude called...Indian Summer...when the days are still warm with cool evenings and just a hint of crisp air...the trees began to change..a slight gilding on the leaves and the shadows fall at more definite angles. Living in Socal...the Indian Summers are several weeks and usually began the last days of August...the sky is a beautiful clear blue and now & then you will see the occasional puffy cloud...the light in the sky at dusk or twilight takes on a golden hue behind the inky blue. This week...between antique markets...I shopped for fall flowers...purple mums & lots of rusty oranges...we entertained several times this week and the mix of the oranges & purples were a little touch of fall....I love this time of year...not only is this weather beautiful...we know that one of the most joyous seasons is approaching...a time of All Hallows' Eve...Thanksgiving...and the beautiful Christmas season...all before we welcome a new year..Throw in some football...family...friends & delicious fall foods...you have a favorite time of year for many of us...Sharing with you a few faves of mine...crushing on...Indian Summer...
