Happy November sweet friends. I can’t believe I have already said goodbye to my favorite month. I used to wonder why older people were always saying the year was passing so quickly, now I understand.
“You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.”
Isaiah 26:3-4
It is Monday Morning Blooms with my friends Lidy, Mary, and Shirley. You will find the links for their beautiful floral creations at the bottom of this post.
“In November, the trees are standing all sticks and bones. Without their leaves, how lovely they are, spreading their arms like dancers. They know it is time to be still.”
-Cynthia Rylant
On November 16th, we are partnering with a luxurious linen and tabletop company to bring you beautiful tabletop inspiration to help you celebrate and make your holidays special. This company will be offering a most gracious and luxurious giveaway to one lucky reader. So stay tuned!
All of my garden flowers are now gone with the wind. I still had zinnias and dahlias blooming but Zeta took all of those. So to the grocery store I went, but the selection was kind of sad…mums, mums, and more mums! I did find a package of gerber daisies and eucalyptus to mix in. I keep seed pods and feathers in my box of autumn goodies. Using wet foam, I arranged the flowers in an American Atelier tureen.
Spring, summer, and fall I am usually in the garden for Monday Morning Blooms. Today finds me in our family room.
Velvet pumpkins with natural pumpkin stems moved from the Sunshine Cottage to the coffee table.
Love the feathers!
Orange-cranberry-almond scones from Trader Joe’s are a perfect pick-me-up with a cup of coffee or tea. Better still with a cup of cappuccino.
“The wind that makes music in November corn is in a hurry. The stalks hum, the loose husks whisk skyward in half-playing swirls, and the wind hurries on…A tree tries to argue, bare limbs waving, but there is no detaining the wind.”
-Aldo Leopold

Pam, As much as enjoy joining you in your garden, it’s a treat to visit you in your beautiful home! I’m wild about your rug and your mix of patterns and fabrics! Your arrangement of mum and daisies are so cheery and bright and your pods and feathers add wonderful texture and interest to your arrangement. I adore your velvet pumpkins, especially the feathered one. I wish I had an orange-cranberry-almond scone to go with my coffee this morning. As always it’s a treat to share blooms with you on these Mondays. Looking forward to your Thanksgiving table tomorrow! Happy November ♥
Thank you Mary. It is funny as I have gotten older, I change things less. I used to redecorate every room in our house every 3 or 4 years. The family room has been the same for almost 20 years and I still am happy with it, so no need to change.
Oh how I love seeing your beautiful floral creations in the setting of your most beautiful family room! I know what you mean about the selection of the grocery store flowers; however, you have so wonderfully selected the perfect combination flowers and pretties to create an gorgeous arrangement. A most beautiful Fall vignette on your beautiful table…love those velvet pumpkins…and I am sad that I cannot have a wonderful scone this morning!…Have a most beautiful day Pam. So enjoyed the feeling of sitting in that beautiful room with you and joining you for great flower inspiration of our Blooms Day!
Thanks Shirley. It would have been so nice to have you join me for scones and coffee. I love sharing MMB’s with you lovely ladies!
So beautiful! I, too, love seeing your sumptuous interior. I love color and your room, with your mix of fabrics and that rug, is right up my alley. I wonder if you could answer a question for me? I have a chair upholstered in the same blue fabric as your chair and drapes. I have no idea of the fabric manufacturer or pattern name. I have spent countless hours searching online with no success. Do you happen to know the fabric manufacturer and pattern name? I also wanted to share how much I appreciate that you share your faith with us. We can see your loving heart in all you do. Thank you and God bless!
Good morning Sandy. You are the first one to mention you have the same fabric. I have had this fabric for about 20 years and have never tired of it. I know it is a Raymond Waites pattern, but I don’t remember who the manufacturer was. You might search Etsy for Raymond Waites fabric and you might possibly find it. Happy Monday to you!
Pam, this is just wonderfully cozy and spot on for our weather yesterday and today – windy, with trees more and more defoliated, our first frost….but nice and warm inside, with sweets treats of foods and words for the heart. I love it all, and the captions too. Your rich colors in your living room, the pumpkins, the arrangement – very lovely, even if they’re not from your own garden. I cannot wait for the details of your giveaway!! You four will have designs outstanding in their own rights, I can be sure. Happy Monday, my friend.
Rita, we are expecting frost overnight. The wind has settled, so it should be heavy. Thank you for your kind comments. See you tomorrow at the hop!
Pam, your indoor arrangement, beautiful photos, and amazing quotations were the perfect start to my cold morning! We awoke to an unpredicted 29 degrees. Your beautiful room is exactly to my taste, full of color and texture. That rug!!! 💕
Thanks sweet Roxanne. We are expecting frost on the pumpkin in the morning!
The Aldo Leopold writing reminds me of my childhood. Raking leaves and smelling the wood fires coming from the country houses and knowing Christmas was getting nearer. The old oak trees trying to hold on to its leaves but the acorns falling on the ten roofs let you know that Winter isn’t far behind. After school my job was to rake leaves until mama called me in for supper and often it consisted of hot biscuits.(those orange cranberry scones look Devine) often having her homemade jams to go along with them. Oh Pam, what memories you often cause me to enjoy. Happy Monday dear.
Alice, you know how much I love for you to share your memories. Raking leaves until mama called you in for a supper of hot biscuits and homemade jam sounds so wonderful. My Mama made the best biscuits, so light and fluffy. Feel free to share those precious memories with us always!
Wow,Pam! Such beauty in your room…What wonderful Fall coffee table…I love that flowers arrangement! Your decoration is so cozy and inviting…Almost a warm and darling hug!Thank you,sending hugs too!
Thanks so much Maristella. Sending hugs back to you!
Such a beautiful fall arrangement! My velvet pumpkins are still packed from our move. We don’t have a coffee table, dining table or end tables yet, so no place to display. them!
Penny, without the furniture you don’t feel that you have to decorate. Enjoy the rest and less stress!
Brrr Pam, this is a great morning to be cozy in your living room enjoying an arrangement of bright zinnias, dahlias paired with pretty velvet pumpkins to remind us of the season! I love the quote from Sarah Addison Allen about the world looking like it is covered in a cobbler crust of brown sugar and cinnamon! November means unpredictable days, some warm, some cold, some windy and some rainy, we have to enjoy beauty when and where we find it and the last hurrah of blooms from your garden has to make you smile at the memories of your beautiful summer garden! Happy November 🦃
Jenna
Thanks Jenna. Yes, November is always unpredictable with its weather. Wishing you a wonderful week. We will have frost in the morning.
Lovely arrangement. We only have mums left too. And it is just to cold and windy to go out to cut them! Yep, whimpy, But still pretty to look at our my window
Thanks so much. I don’t blame you, just enjoy through the window!
Beautiful, Pam. I remember happy memories in your living/family room. I wish I could join you for a cup of coffee and a scone. Have a wonderful day, dear friend.
Thank you dear friend. Wishing you a lovely week!
It is such a joy to visit inside your beautiful home this morning. Everything is perfect and I feel the warmth of your beautifully decorated home. I love the velvet pumpkins and your arrangement is beautiful. Have a wonderful week and I will look forward to your blog hop.
Thank you Dianne. Wishing you a lovely first week of November!
We are entering my favorite month, November! With the trees donning autumn colors, and Thanksgiving on the way, cooler days and nights, and the first fire in the fireplace, it is time to grab a cozy quilt to snuggle under with a good book. I got out my turkey collection yesterday. Have a safe and happy November.
Carole, sounds like you are prepared for your favorite month. Enjoy!
What a beautiful post filled with color and coziness. Love the floral arrangement Pam and really would like one of those yummy scones! Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Cindy, it would be so much fun to enjoy a scone and cup of coffee with you!
Absolutely beautiful, Pam! Your flowers arranged in the lovely tureen are stunning and just the perfect thing to welcome November. I always love a visit to your living room and swoon with all the gorgeousness in it. Happy November, my dear friend! May this month bring you many blessings!
Thank you Shannon. Wishing you a beautiful November!
Pam, Your arrangement is beautiful. The soup tureen is so pretty. Your living room is so pretty and inviting. The goodies look tasty. Enjoy your day sweet friend! Clara ❤️🍁
Thank you dear Clara. Have a lovely week ♥️
Beautiful Pam! I love viewing your lovely floral arrangement in your pretty family room. You did a marvelous job with grocery store flowers and showcased it artfully with feathered pumpkins and scones. Wish I had a cranberry orange scone right now.
Your tureen is so pretty and I love how you added feathers and pods in your arrangement. Fall Quotes are a lovely addition to your post too.
Happy November!
Thank you Bonnie. The scones are excellent, wish you could join me for coffee.
Good morning, Pam. Your arrangement is stunning and only adds to the beauty of your gorgeous room. You are such a wonderful inspiration. I cut hydrangeas to dry and some roses too, in hopes for a centerpiece for our Thanksgiving table. If (big ‘if’) it turns out well, I will share.
Wishing you a beautiful November. Stay well, sweet friend!
Thank you Sandra. I just know your dried roses and hydrangeas will make a beautiful centerpiece for your Thanksgiving Table. Please share.
Your autumn centerpieces and arrangements are just beautiful!
Thanks for blessing my heart, and my eyes!
Much love,
Esther
Thank you dear and sweet friend. Much love to you!
it is such joy to come here and visit with you today and see your beautiful arrangement! I am actually early this time! It usually takes days for me to be able to find the time to come here and give your posts the attention they deserve! I trust the Lord will richly bless you and keep you, and PLEASE, please keep praying about tomorrow. My anxiety is about to take over, but I am trusting with all my heart that God will answer our many prayers for mercy. Sending love and hugs to you today.
Thank you Cheryl for your faithful visits and lovely comments. You are a blessing to my life, dear friend!
Pam, you know how much I adore your beautiful home!! I’m crazy about the mix of patterns and fabrics you chose for this room, and like Mary said, I’m wild about your rug. It is all so welcoming and inviting and warm.
What a beautiful arrangement you created – oh to be able to sit with you there and drink those cappuccinos and talk about life, our families and the Lord. What a treat that would be. Love being part of our special Monday Morning Blooms with you, dear friend. Happy November!
Lidy, thank you for your sweet words. Conversation about life, our families, and the Lord would be so special. Happy November to you my friend xoxo
Lovely as always Pam. I am always drawn to your pictures. So much great detail. Have a wonderful Fall day.
XO- MaryJo
Thank you Mary Jo, you are so sweet to visit and comment. I haven’t been able to comment on your blog. I love all the ways that you decorated pumpkins and your creativity is amazing!
Beautiful coffee table arrangement. Would like to be sitting with you having a scone in your beautiful home. Love that French lamp on table. I have at least one lamp of such in every room. Just purchased another French signed lamp yesterday in an antique store. Getting a chair reupholstered in fabric like your rug.
Thank you Nancy. I would be honored if you could join me. I have the lamp’s mate on the other side of the sofa. This pair of lamps are signed and I found them in the back of an antique shop years ago.
Such a beautiful use for the tureen, Pam. And yes, I love the touch of feathers. I would also like to join Nancy for tea and scones.
Thank you Libby! How fun it would be to welcome you for tea and scones!
What a delightful post Pam! I loved the quote you chose!
Blessings sweet friend ♥
Jennifer
Thank you, my friend!♥️
Your florals are beautiful and those scones look so delicious! I’ll have coffee with mine!
Coffee it is! Thank you Liz!
