PUMPKINS IN VELVET

Are you a fan of pumpkins? I love them. Lancaster is a virtual pumpkin land! So pumpkins are a huge part of fall here at StoneGable. And these velvet pumpkins are the most beautiful I have ever seen! I’m sharing another centerpiece I made using HOT SKWASH PUMPKINS! This arrangement boasts Velvet pumpkins of many colors and chinoiserie!

THE SCOOP #405

Hey friends, Welcome to THE SCOOP. I love that I can see hundreds of amazing posts by hardworking bloggers all in one convenient place. While I’m working hard at fall decor I’m also working hard on something else! I’ve been keeping a big secret! And I’m just about to bust so I’ll give you a little (or more than a little hint)

VELVET AND CHINOISERIE PUMPKINS AND A $200.00 GIVEAWAY

Velvet pumpkins and Chinoiserie are a combination made in fall heaven. They both evoke a feeling of luxury and refinement. They make such a beautiful statement, especially together! I’m adding hues of browns and sable with the blue and white for a muted, soft fall arrangement. I’ll show you how easy it is to create one fabulous centerpiece for fall!

ON THE MENU # 206

Does your menu change with the season? Mine does. Granted we can get delicious off-season food but I love to shop our local farm markets for what is being harvested right now. We still have a garden full of overproducing tomatoes and our leeks are amazing. So I’m serving tomatoes at almost every meal! Hopefully next week I’ll be sharing a beautiful leek and potato soup. YUM! for now here’s what’s on the menu this week…

A LESSON FROM MY FRONT PORCH

If you were to stand on my front porch and look across the street you would see a huge corn field. The tops of the corn are tasseled and the color of staw. And in just a couple weeks every stock of corn will be the same gorgeous color. I love corn at harvest time. When the wind blows through the dry stalks it sounds like the rustling of a taffeta ball gown.

FALL BOUNTY TABLE

It’s all about the bounty of fall today! Actually, a fall bounty table! In a decorating world that loves neutral and somewhat shuns autumnal colors, I think this table is a breath of fresh fall air! I’m embracing the colors right outside my front door and filling my breakfast nook table with lots of fall elements and fall color! Let’s set a fall bounty table!
