Tablescape Tuesday: Golden Days Of Fall

~ Autumn, Food & Entertaining, Tablescape Tuesday

“The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭18:10‬ ‭

Does anyone else feel like autumn has taken its sweet time getting here?  The temps have gotten a little lower, but it is still reaching the high 80’s at our house!  Usually by this time each year in our Appalachian Foothills, the fall foliage is in full swing…but this year we are getting a fashionably late start!  The yellow hues are the only thing in sight, reminding me that the reds and oranges are sure to follow!  Today I want to invite you to take a seat under our new pergola and enjoy these golden days of fall!


My inspiration for this autumn table is an antique flower basket quilt that I purchased many years ago at a benefit auction.  The gold and brown hues always remind me of my favorite season!

Tablescape Tuesday: The Humble Orange Pumpkin!

~ Autumn, Food & Entertaining, Tablescape Tuesday

“Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭10:9‬ ‭

Since the beginning of summer, we have been enjoying the great outdoors for Tablescape Tuesday, but not this week…today, we are taking it inside!  You all are invited to join us around our dining room table!  We’ve seen some gorgeous autumn tablescapes in the blog world…some simple and some over-the-top…and the season has just begun!  I know that there are hundreds of ways to set a seasonal table, but today I want to take it back to the basics…with the traditional orange pumpkin!  Yes, I love all the pretty and softer shades of pumpkins, but something about that humble orange just says FALL!  


I allow the orange pumpkins to be the stars for this autumn tablesetting!


Using my cream-colored china which you often see, I placed a mini-pumpkin on the salad plates…love this one’s stem.

The Heart Of The Home

~ Decorating, Food & Entertaining

“With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from your commandments!”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭119:10‬ ‭

Is there a time of year that you most enjoy being in your kitchen?  For me, that time of the year is upon us!  From now until the first of the new year, you will find me pulling out recipes and cooking all the foods we love best…the ones that my Mother made!  Imagine a pot of autumn vegetable soup simmering on the stove, a skillet of corn bread baking in the oven,  and pecan pie cooling on the counter…yum, I can hardly wait!  Our kitchen is truly the heart of our home…where laughs are shared and memories are made!
