A Grand Halloween At Wood’s Edge

October 8, 2024~ Alfresco, Autumn, Fall, Halloween tablescapes

Happy Tuesday, friends! In the midst of my favorite month, which is also my birthday month, I continue to pray for all of those who have been impacted from Hurricane Helene.  As we enjoy autumn, let’s not forget our fellow Americans who are suffering. And, by all indications, our neighbors in Florida are again facing a major hurricane, as Milton will likely make landfall Wednesday evening or Thursday morning.  

“For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.””
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭14‬ (ESV)

I am excited to join sixteen table stylists for a Halloween Tablescape Blog Hop hosted by my friend, Rita from Panoply. You will find all of the links for fun and creative tables at the bottom of this post.READ MORE

Simple + Southern Sunday No. 517

October 6, 2024~ Aerial Photogaphy, Autumn, Fall, Simple + Southern Sunday

“For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the Lord made the heavens. Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.”
Psalm‬ ‭96‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭ESV‬‬

There are no skies quite like the skies of October. My first October morning out and about was totally clear and very still. It is usually breezy here but everything this particular day was at ease. A few geese honking, but mostly quiet, so not a bad way to begin my favorite month!READ MORE

Happy Monday! October is my favorite month, I love Happy Monday! October is my favorite month, I love the warm colors of autumn. I set a table in my waning garden with a blooming pumpkin as the centerpiece. Autumn Fire sedum, dahlias, and Chaste tree spikes were placed in floral foam to rest atop a candy corn look-alike pumpkin! It is Monday Morning Blooms with my friends Lidy @frenchgardenhouse Sarah @sjpa48 and Mary, homeiswheretheboatis.net Our common theme is pumpkin(s). An @april.cornell ‘meridian’ tablecloth is a lovely foundation for retired Williams-Sonoma pumpkin plates! Link in my profile for all of the floral inspiration!

Happy October, my favorite month! My prayers con Happy October, my favorite month! 

My prayers continue for the thousands of fellow Southerners impacted by the devastation of Helene! The horrific videos across the Southeast of the destruction of entire towns and communities are heartbreaking. The loss of loved ones, homes, and businesses is unfathomable. Not only do we pray, but we help in any way that we can 🙏🏻

I rounded up a few of my child-friendly Halloween tablescapes! These are fun, not scary with my three grandchildren in mind! LINK IN BIO

Happy Wednesday! Last week we enjoyed a few days o Happy Wednesday! Last week we enjoyed a few days of cooler temperatures and lower humidities…a teaser of autumn weather! The heat has returned with the highs in the upper 90’s! I am ready for fall, are you? 

I love including memories that are attached to elements on my table. This gorgeous French tapestry was given to me by my dear friend, Patti @fralixpatti It is a beautiful foundation for an autumn table, of course, no food would ever be served on it. The @mackenziechilds flower market vase was a sweet gift from my friend, Shirley @housepitalitydesigns! Treasured gifts from friends make a table special! Napkins “dahlia days” are from @april.cornell Flowers are from my garden!

I have joined a group of table stylists to bring you ideas and inspiration for your fall tables. LINK IN BIO for all 16 participants.

It is the August edition of Tea on Tuesdays with Mary and our sweet friend, Shannon @bellebleuinteriors  With the crape myrtles still in their glory, I set my table in the garden. Tea with a friend or two can be simple and not overwhelming in its preparation. After all, sweet conversations and hospitality is what people will remember the most. An @april.cornell Jacobean Garden tablecloth and vintage napkins from an estate sale highlight Botanic Garden plates from Portmeirion. A lilypad teapot is serving up flowers from my garden. I would love for you to visit my garden for a cup of Earl Grey tea, Black Forest ham and cheddar cheese tea sandwiches, plus banana nut bread! LINK IN BIO for all three teatimes!

Zinnias attract bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and goldfinches. They will bloom until frost, provide non-stop color, and are easy to plant from seed. They are a perfect cut flower! Do you plant zinnias?

Happy Monday! It is Monday Morning Blooms and our Happy Monday! It is Monday Morning Blooms and our theme is citrus! I braved the heat and triple digit heat index to set a table in the garden. Limelight hydrangeas and giant gold marigolds joined lemons for an easy centerpiece. An Italian tablecloth had been hiding in my linen closet for several years and I rediscovered it for this lemon-themed table. @marylakethompsonltd lemon napkins are perfect for the citrus theme!

I am joining my friends Sarah @sjpa48 and Mary #homeiswheretheboatis for flower therapy! Links for all are in my bio! Wishing you a joy-filled day!

Happy Thursday! July’s Garden Views include Lime Happy Thursday! July’s Garden Views include Limelight and Vanilla Strawberry hydrangeas. It has been an interesting gardening month. From late June until about 10 days ago, we had temps in the high 90’s, zero rain, winds, and high humidity. Enter a ten day rainy period with overcast skies and humidity! Gardening is not for the weak of heart, but each season brings its own rewards and learning experiences!

Happy Tuesday! With our hot July days, afternoon t Happy Tuesday! With our hot July days, afternoon tea in the cottage garden wasn’t possible! But, early evening tea as the sun was setting lower in the sky, and a gentle breeze was perfect to enjoy light fare. With scorching days, iced tea was definitely on the menu served along side hot tea! 

A ‘Cottage Rose’ tablecloth by @april.cornell has been in my linen collection for a few years and was ideal for teatime. A sweet majolica tea pot belonging to my mother, and a Wedgwood Queen’s Ware pitcher filled with giant marigolds and zinnias cut from the cottage garden, were chosen to complement the tablecloth!

Happy Monday! Many of you may have enjoyed the hol Happy Monday! Many of you may have enjoyed the holiday at the beach, boating on a lake, picnics at a park, or quietly at home! We weren’t at the beach, but I did set a table that reminds me of many beach trips! A vintage shell box, coastal landscape salad plates, shell napkin rings, and maiden grass to mimic sea oats create a beach vibe for a garden tabletop! Those afternoon showers that often pop up at the beach also popped up in my garden 🤦🏼‍♀️
