“A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver.”
Proverbs 25:11
Happy Thursday my dear friends. Yesterday morning actually felt like autumn for the first time. It was a perfect morning to sit on the patio while enjoying a cup of coffee and listening to the chirping birds. The 56 degree temperature gave me hope! By afternoon, it was 93 and my hope vanished. I don’t know about you, but I need some fall inspiration. So I dug into the archives and came up with “vignettes of autumn past!
I’m excited to be offering a fabulous giveaway. Be sure to read to the end of the post to enter.
“I am struck by the simplicity of light in the atmosphere in the autumn, as if the earth absorbed none, and out of this profusion of dazzling light came the autumnal tints.”

Pam, what a beautiful journey of your fall vignettes. It is also an opportunity to visit your beautiful home. This Southern heat lingers and it is a bit difficult to get into fall decorating. I have been making a pumpkin roll as long as I can remember..my favorite. Blessings my friend.
Although I often make pumpkin bread, my favorite pumpkin dessert is pumpkin roll with pecans embedded in the cake, wrapped around a cream cheese filling. My sister-in-law, who is from Oklahoma, introduced this dessert to our family one Thanksgiving many years ago. It is now a part of our Thanksgiving tradition.
Such beautiful vignettes for the “Autumn Season,” the most beautiful season of all !
I make everything pumpkin almost all year round… from cakes to pies.
Each vignette is better then the other, such inspiration my friend.
I’m pinning for future inspiration too.
Have a lovely Fall weekend.
Fabby
Thank you Fabby and a special thank you for pinning. Pumpkin season is my favorite!
