Textures of Autumn



All of a sudden Autumn has fallen upon Southern California.


Many leaves have already left the branches...


And are resting on the ground...


I really don’t decorate for seasons. But now and then I do add a few things here and
there to add a little interest.  Do you have a “Catch-all” table?  Well, I do and it is
directly outside of my kitchen.  I use it when I pull things out of the cupboards which
will be distributed later or to drop things at the end of the day.
As I mentioned in my last post I have had a bad cold and no energy whatsoever.
So, this year I gathered things and just put them on my “Catch-all” table until I had
more energy to distribute and add them to rooms.  But a few days ago a friend called
and was on her way over for a visit.  I really didn’t have time to move things around so
I just lit a couple of little candles. It looked very autumnal so I decided to show you my
“Catch-all” table and next time I will show you my softer autumnal lighter toned table.
Believe me, things never stay on the “Catch-all” table for long.  When these items are
not together on one table they certainly do not look quite so fall-ish.

I love autumn and I love that we are heading to my favorite holiday, Thanksgiving.
I adore pumpkins and I always look for just the ones I want and I hope they last
through Thanksgiving.  This year I enjoy the look of the Musque De Provence
pumpkin from France.



 As you can see, there are also small pumpkins and gourds on the table and inside a
willow cloche...

The delectable, crisp fall fruits...Apples, Pears, Grapes, Persimmons...



The glass cloche does not want to be outdone by the willow...

Autumn is certainly a season of texture...




The Autumn Hydrangia in all it's beautiful glory...


I hope you have a wonderful week and enjoy the cool weather.
