What beautiful colours and textures, Autumn brings us. I love the tradition of seasonal wreaths on the front of the house. We don't do this in the U.K. but I think that I will start the trend!!!! We do have wreaths on the front door at Christmas but not at other times of the year, which is a shame as they look so beautiful and celebrate the seasons.
Acorns and hydrangea.
The beautiful colours of the foliage that can be pressed in an old book and framed.
Don't you just love seeing a spiders web, hanging with the morning dew, on a cold and crisp Autumn morning ?

Seed heads of the Maple that are sent spinning to the ground, to start the growth of a new Maple tree.
The Hydrangea head, drying on the plant and, as Autumn progresses, becomes skeletal in appearance.

Pumpkin pie, garnished with cranberries ...... what could be more comforting on an Autumn evening, with maybe a large dollop of cream........ Mmm, Mmm.
Beautiful white pumpkins ....so much prettier than the orange ones.
Apples on the ground, fallen from the tree........ ready to be gathered up to eat as they are or to be turned into warm apple pie or an apple and blackberry crumble....... don't forget that dollop of thick double cream.
A beautiful, Autumnal table setting....set off with an arrangement of courgette flowers.
What a lovely place to sit on an Autumn evening with a glass of warm, mulled wine.
Oh, ..... someone has already thought of that idea !!!!
I love these multi-coloured pumpkins, made from velvet.
How on earth has someone carved this lacy effect into these pumpkins ?
Aren't they beautiful ?
Well, everybody. Please don't lament the passing of Summer. Embrace the Autumn and all of the gifts that it brings and just put on more jumpers !!!!

Apologies for higgledy piggledy layout. Loaded pictures wrongly and then was late, so had to post it, as is !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Such beautiful autumn images Jackie! Enjoy the season and all its warm colors!

My favourite season actually. Crisp and cold and yellow and orange and smoky and misty. Much better than horrible summer (I say that as a pale Anglo Celt living in Australia ! Enjoy! xoxo
ReplyDeleteLovely images Jackie you almost have me wishing for autumn. [although it does feel like we have gone back there this past 2 weeks]
ReplyDeleteI agree the white pumpkins are so much nicer than the orange variety... and those lacily carved numbers are quite clever. Someone has incredible patience and skill
Well I think my favourite image this time is the Silverware and cinammon sticks on hessian and paper.. to me it spells preparation to make the home inviting .. anticipation ! [and I love silverware]
Have a FABULOUS Autumn with lots of woolly jumpers [you realise on the aussies and english might know what they are!!]
Ciao bella x Julie
All of these autumn images are so gorgeous. It really is the most amazing time of year - you've captured the essence of it so beautifully! Leigh
ReplyDeleteThank you for the inspiration. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteArgh! Is there anything that you CAN"T make look beautiful? I just love getting up in the morning and seeing that you have a new post. It just starts my day off right!
ReplyDeleteThese images are just gorgeous! I love too many of them to pick just one.... hope your week is off to a good start.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI´m just so happy that I have found your blog.
You give so much inspiration and it´s such a feel good vibe in here :D
A cosy corner that I would love to come back and visit.
//Love,
Marie (Sweden)
Oh thank you for taking me on a beautiful trip. Just adore this honey.
ReplyDeleteThe balcony with lights was my favorite image. It is magical. I loved the feel of this post, just dreamy.
Thanks fab girl,
xoxo

How Gorgeous are these colours!!!and can I please have another piece of the Pumpkin and Cranberry pie it was delicious YUM!!
ReplyDelete:) Cate
Gorgeous. You've inspired me tremendously with this post, my friend!

Hi Jackie!!! Of course you could be a trend setter with an Autumn wreath on your door - if anyone can do it, you can :) Beautiful, beautiful Fall images!!
ReplyDelete:) T
yes, my DD's name is Autumn (actually Autumn Rose) - just love it (and her) to bits!
ReplyDeleteThe most gorgeous, gorgeous pics...however they are loaded. You really inspire me for the colder months with me, xv.
ReplyDeleteWow! I was drawn into this post from a blogroll showing that wreath! They get me everytime! What lovely images everywhere I look!
ReplyDeleteDonna
Your post is just too beautiful. It warmed me all over. Just wrapped me in glorious Autumn wonder!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

those velvet pillows are so neat! yummy, warm photos!
ReplyDeleteSmiles!
Michelle
I simply adore your pictures. Dreamy features.
ReplyDeleteEva Agnes
Just BEAUTIFUL Fall images... It is so amazing how each season brings such beauty if we are open to it. And yes, I think the white pumpkins are prettier, at least with my decorations.
ReplyDeleteHave a Wonderful Day-
Such gorgeous images!!!
ReplyDeleteI love them, just as I love autumn and all it´s colors. I just can´t get enough...
Stockholm is freezing, and today we had some snow, but it all melted before I could see it
=(...
Hope you have a nice and cosy evening.

Mmmmm..what a splendid and cozy post. I'm coming over to your place!! :)
ReplyDeletePS LOVE the 3rd picture down.
((hugs))
Well, I was gonna comment by telling you how completely touched I was by your breast cancer blog, and how I couldn't get it out of my mind. I've been hearing breast cancer awareness for most of my life, I lost two very special girlfriends to it, but maybe now at this age I value each peaceful day so much I pay more attention to prevention.
ReplyDeleteSo instead, I'll say that when I read todays post, I felt so good - reminded myself to recognize amazing things like a lacey pumpkin or a cart full of white ones.
Every year my health awareness husband reminds me to get a Mammy and a Pappy - funny, eh?
Marsha
What a wonderful post - i love this pictures full of inspiration!!!!!! Thank you so much.........you´r the best!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGood night, Hugs Jade
Your blog, your taste, your sensibilities are so beautiful, ethereal I am in thrall.
ReplyDeleteI have been back three times today, just to absorb. I love wreathes on doors this time of year and you made me think: Yes, I'm getting two before the week is out (unfortunately we have double doors and it looks weird to have only one, I always do two for Christmas).
Also, fall has always been my favorite season. Someone once remarked to me that it was the time when everything dies. I've never seen it that way. It's fires in the fireplace, apples, a few precious roses, the gold and red leaves and of course -- material girl that I am -- new clothes (!)
Wish I could just hop on over and enjoy a glass of the mulled cider with you! These photos left me all warm and cozy...
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely Fall post..I really would like a wheelbarrel full of those velvet pumpkins...ooh la la! I love all the rich colours and cozy feel to all your images today...thank you for warming my heart!
ReplyDeleteMmmm.....LOVELY photos! I love fall!
ReplyDeleteSmiles,
Rachel
I love love love autumn, and all of these images that you've collected. The lacy pumpkins are so cute, but I don't think I have the carving skills to make my own!
ReplyDeleteWhat an evocative selection of pictures. I think Marks & Spencer could do with your services as a marketing manager - you really set the scene wonderfully.
ReplyDeleteI adore autumn! You should see me these days - I walk around like a fool with a big smile on face for no reason other than that it's autumn. I love that third photo!
ReplyDeleteYour killing me with these photos...you know that don't you??? I just love all of them. The cobweb looks like jewelry.
ReplyDeleteThe velvet pumpkins would look incredible in my foyer ( my color room)
It's funny that the rest of the year I only like white but when fall comes it's color I crave!

ReplyDeleteFAB Fall photos!!! I would like a slice of that pie too!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely georgeous pictures. I could look at them forever.
ReplyDeleteVery inspirational.
I only wish I could find white pumpkins here in Sweden where I live. I would decorate with pumpinks if so. But there are only yellow, green and red ones.
Eva Agnes
the last image is stunning!
ReplyDeletei love the gold pumpkins.
i might just have to try that myself.
xx
No one does an Autumn like you just did Jackie. Every single photos is smashing. I'm with Renee, I'm wanting to tackle the idea of gold mini-pumpkins myself. I really..really wish it were like Autumn here. It was 95F here today, uck!!! Save some spiced cider for me & I'll be on the next BA flight. All the best to you my dear Xxx deb
ReplyDeleteThose velvet pumpkins are the best Jac! Being a Summer girl, I'm so glad that it's you guys who are moving into Autumn - I'm so over temps. under 10C., time for those scorching Aussie Summer days that positively sizzle everything in it's wake.
ReplyDeleteMillie ^_^
I just found your blog and I wanted to tell you it is beautiful. Just fabulous. I love discovering new sources of inspiration. And I love your tribute to autumn, which is my favorite season. Lovely pics.
ReplyDeleteStopping by to say hello and take a short spill in the corner by the window for a quick read and a hot cuppa.
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a good week. :)
(hugs)
Looking forward to seeing what you are going to where to the party Saturday!
Lovely post....I truly am looking forward to the autumn weather...we have had a small taste of it this week here in Southern California..happy weekend to you!
ReplyDeleteOh, my heart is beating faster. The most beautiful collection of autumnal images I've ever seen. Those velvet pumpkins, that feather wreath, spiderwebs and pie!!
