Tablescape Tuesday: Early Autumn Evenings

~ Food & Entertaining, Tablescape Tuesday

“Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭12:16‬ ‭

Ready or not, here comes autumn…and I’m in the spirit of the season!  So far, you’ve seen my kitchen vignette and my foyer, and today, I am taking my favorite season to my favorite spot…the garden!  There are countless things I love about this time of year, with the shorter days that seem to invite rest being one of them!  Come have a seat and enjoy this early autumn evening with us! 


The only new items purchased for this setting are the pumpkins…don’t we love all things pumpkin?


The tablecloth is vintage and was a gift.  Faux leather chargers, pumpkin colored dinner plates, and leaf plates in different colors complete the dish stack.

“Fall”-ing Into The Foyer

~ Decorating

“Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭12:12‬ ‭

Last week it was 95 degrees here in the Appalachian foothills, and I will admit…it’s pretty hard to decorate for autumn when the heat index still screams summer!  But, regardless of what the thermometer says, the calendar tells me that my favorite time of year is here!  

I am usually not one to be late to the party, but after seeing some beautiful autumn home tours all over blog land, I realized that I should probably pull out my seasonal decor and join you all!  I put together a small vignette in the kitchen last week, and today would you join me in the foyer as I make my fashionably late entrance to the fall home decor party?! 


I have a large collection of scarves and they often end up in vignettes rather than around my neck.  I shopped my house and collected things that remind me of autumn.  Feathers found their way into an hand-painted Italian pitcher…velvet pumpkins and fresh apples fill a tiered tray…antique leather books support a small squirrel box…rust pillar candles top a pair of tall candle stands.


The leopard print pumpkin is my favorite!

Simple + Southern Sunday No. 100

~ Simple + Southern Sunday

“For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.  And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together”
Colossians 1:16-17

I have always loved to find the beauty in the ordinary.  It’s most often the things we see in our everyday living that we overlook and think nothing about.  When we started blogging a little over two years ago, one of the things we wanted to do was to share the ins and outs of our daily lives with you.  About two months into blogging, we decided to start our Simple + Southern Sunday series with you…simply sharing pics of what we saw during the week.  It gives you more of an idea of who we are, what we love and what we do!  On this 100th edition of Simple + Southern Sunday, we want to share a few of our favorites!  Keep in mind that there have been 900-1000 pictures, so this is just scratching the surface!  We hope you’ve enjoyed seeing God’s beauty through our series!  

We’ve seen many churches…

 
My Daddy has wonderful memories of this church!


 This church stands near my Mother’s childhood home!
