~ Simple + Southern Sunday

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
‭‭John‬ ‭1:1‬ ‭
 
It breaks our hearts to think of the many people affected by Hurricane Matthew…please join us as we continue to pray for comfort and peace for the thousands who have suffered so much loss…

“There is a fountain filled with blood, drawn from Immanuel’s veins,
And sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains”
William Cowper

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!

And since I am in the cooking spirit, I rounded up some favorite kitchens from my Pinterest Board Chef de Cuisine!  You can click each picture to go to the original post.

You all enjoy…I will be in my kitchen cooking up some comfort food!


This white and gray kitchen is so elegant…the island with its furniture details and the chandelier are stunning!

“In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths”
Proverbs 3:6

I hope you’re all sitting down with your coffee…or your tea…whatever suits your fancy, because today you are in for a real treat!  If you remember last week, I participated in an Autumn Tablescape Blog Hop and my, oh my! Twenty-six amazing and talented bloggers came together with the coordination of our fabulous hostess, Chloe from Celebrate and Decorate to bring you the tablescape party of the season!  And since I know a lot of you, my readers, share my love of tablescaping, I wanted to share these creative bloggers with y’all!  

On this post, I am sharing only one photo from each, but if you click the blog name below the photo, you will go directly to their site for the post in its entirety!  If you want to see everything fall for tablesettings (and trust me, I mean EVERYTHING), I urge you to visit each one. I guarantee you will be inspired!  Now, let’s get to the party!
