Welcome Fall

Today is officially fall or autumn or whatever you want to call it and I say come on in!  Our temperatures are still in the high 90's and I guess this is called Indian summer, but I am so ready for cooler temperatures.  I'm itching to get back out to the garden and start trimming back before winter sets in.

Today I did four variations of this table.  I love these little fruit plates so much, I have had them hanging on my wall for umpteen years.  I promise next week to tell you what the maker's mark is on the back, but right now I'm lucky to get a post out today.  Believe me, you will see them again.

This week I paired my favorite green plates with gold chargers and amber stemware that was my mother's wedding crystal.  I brought out some red and green pears and placed them in this gorgeous amber bowl.

I love to use little stacks of books with ribbons tied around them.  I sat my little garden frog on these.  He's peaking out at us.

I also invited my little flying pig from the front porch.  He has his welcome sign ready to greet fall with a bang.

As for this bottle of red wine I put on the table, I don't even drink red wine, but I have been known to buy wine because I love the label.  I couldn't resist this one with the animal lawyers.  After all, I am a court reporter, and I this was too cute to pass up.  Isn't the label wonderful?

I used paper napkins today.  These are fabulous and so perfect for the season too. 

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Fall everyone!
