Finding Fall in the Kitchen

I feel like every post I need to say,

"You know how much I LOVE Fall!"

OK, so I said it again, 

but never so much as this year as I've decorated

with all the new "white" in the house and here in the kitchen.

(I repainted my kitchen and cabinets at Thanksgiving last year)

I keep this carrier on the table year round 

and just change out the flowers in the old blue mason jars for the season.

Last year I mentioned that I couldn't find 

faux hydrangeas that were Fallish,

so I just used light ones and swiped them with some "distress" ink.

worked great!

The biggest change I make is to change out my curtains.

I have a set for Spring and Summer,

and a set for Fall and Winter.

The brown floral is my favorite.

(view to the sunroom)

This silver footed tray is a "staple" too,

I just change out the flowers and accessories seasonally.

In the Fall, Smiley comes to live in here.

Gosh, you'd think I put him on a pedestal or something...

And welcome to one of my newest obsessions,

Bath and Body Works Slatkin Candles.

This season it's Salty Caramel.

Let me tell you it's unbelievable!!!

(you actually want to eat it!!)

I'm a "tweaker" and a "tucker".

This year I just tweaked my vignettes

 and tucked in some new Fall color.

This Spring an iron bird was on the white pedestal, 

now one of my Lefton chipmunks is there.

And the little arrangement under the large cloche

changes out seasonally too.

I bought this little silver creamer last year that is a candle lamp,

and just added some real bittersweet to it.

Up on the double oven, things haven't changed much either,

but I added the bittersweet and some Fall leaves

 to the large tureen of apples.

Here's our new fridge that we bought this summer.

It's an LG French Door with the freezer on the bottom, in Bisque.

LOVE it. It matches my cabinets perfectly!

And here's my flower tote again.

Just found another bread board this week at Relics for three dollars

so here it is with an old white Harker Bow and Arrow Mixing Bowl,

some old linens, and the last of my dwarf zinnias.

I buy every white ironstone pitcher I come across.

another of those small addictions  obsessions collections.

I can't wait to show you what I did today.

But I will tell you that I'm going to be sharing 

Fall Tablescapes for 

Vintage Inspiration Friday.

just sayin'....

and I'm linking with these parties this week.

     

     

Have a great week everyone!

Vintage Inspiration Friday # 58 Nature Inspired

Who of us when we were kids in school

 didn't have a Leaf Collecting and Identification Project?

I also helped my girls go on leaf collecting adventures

 every Fall when they were in school.

Displaying and categorizing them was one of my favorite Fall projects.

I love to decorate with Nature and Nature inspired things,

so when I saw this article in this months' Country Gardens Magazine

I just had to share it.

(enlarge photo for a better detailed look)

Above, old drawers, boxes and cubbies are lined

 with Nature illustrations and botanicals

to help set the stage for our specimens.

What a great way to spend a beautiful Fall day

than taking off on a hike or nature trail with the kids

to find some wonderful objects to display.

Below, just using an old tackle box to show the found treasures.

Frames for leaves

and old boxes for leaf display.

And here are a few more nature inspired Pinterest finds.

Now, I want to head outdoors and see what I can find!

Let's see some of the fun from last week.

Rosemary from Ozma of Odds needs to be a weekly feature,

If for some strange reason you don't know her

get over to her blog right now and be prepared to be amazed!!

Fairytale Olive Tree

Megan at Restoring the Roost

has a wonderful Fall mantle.

I'm in love with her Brown Transferware vignette.

Amanda from One Girl in Pink

shares her wonderful Fall Book Page Garland

And the Gals at Curly Willow

Hmmm...seem to be focusing on mantles today!

Hope you'll join in today for the party.
