Let us join our lovely hostess, Tootsie , for her weekly gathering of gardeners. Thank you, Tootsie.

Happy Fall, Everyone! It is hard to believe we are into cooler weather now. I am trying to enjoy the remaining flowers in the garden as much as possible, and bringing some blooms indoors to cheer up some gloomy days.    Love the Granny Smith apple green of the hydrangeas...   Buddleia is pretty in the blue vase.. My supermarket mums are coming into full bloom...   Let's join Tootsie for Friday Flower Flaunting

  Just joining in today with Cottage and Vine ‘s   Falling Up Party. This is what is going on around our house. Foyer greeting The hutch in the dining room…  Cup and saucer vine.

Fall is a time to bring out those warm toned accessories. My favorite china is Orchard Gold by Aynsley. Unfortunately, it is pricey, so my collection is limited. Dahlias are still blooming plentifully, so I cut armloads for bouquets. Soon we will be putting out some tiny pumpkins and gourds. Now where have I hidden my Dept 56 autumn fruit stand???  To join the "Welcome Fall" party go to Rhondi's blog To view these pictures and more, with a little doctoring, go to my slideshow
