19 gorgeous fall florals

The latest issue of Cottages and Bungalows magazine has arrived, confirming that autumn is just about here!

 

I'm thrilled to be featured in the beautiful October issue, showcasing 19 of my favorite fall floral arrangements.

 

Whether it's sunflowers or dahlias, flowers are sure to bring warmth and brightness to your home this autumn!

 

Here's a detailed look at each and every fall floral featured.

Each arrangement highlighted in the magazine draws inspiration from the rich, warm hues and textures characteristic of the autumn season.

 

With shorter days and cooler temperatures, I find even greater joy in sharing these seasonal displays with friends and visitors.

 

The colors and textures of these fallflorals lend themselves beautifully to festive gatherings, sophisticated dinners, or peaceful mornings spent admiring their visual charm.

 

Have a wonderful week, my friends!

fall inspiration and gift ideas

 from Pacific & Rose      

     

Three new prints just dropped yesterday from Pacific & Rose, including this one… the Charlotte print in Indigo. Isn’t she pretty? 

I love how the muted denim-like color of Charlotte can effortlessly carry me through each season. Here I've paired it with freshly cut hydrangeas from the garden, pretty goblets and my vintage placemats.

 

There’s also a pretty caramel version of this Charlotte pattern that you'll see next. with cinnamon-like colors. They both coordinate so nicely with the floral Lilibet pattern. The Lilibet Caramel Indigo napkin is shown here.

 

It most definitely feels like the weather has moved on to autumn this week here. Are you ready for the cozy new season?

 

The muted tones of Autumn can be seen here at this table. Check out how the Andaluz and Toledo pillows look with the new Charlotte Caramel tablecloth and Lilibet Caramel Indigo napkins. 

I love how Elizabeth has created this collection for fall and winter that intertwines so nicely.

   

Just add a few select tableware pieces and a scattering of small pumpkins and gourds to your table, and you're Thanksgiving ready!

 

Now for the softer side of autumn… Lilibet Caramel Indigo.

 

This simple & cozy table is full of all kinds of seasonal pretty. A sweet look that's easy to achieve with these pretty Lilibet napkins and tablecloth. I love adding lots of textures to add dimension and interest to the table.

  

Fun pumpkin plates are also a fun addition. I usually find fun ones at Home Goods this time of year.

 

Also new to debut this week are the table runners and placemats in the same three prints and colors as the tablecloths and napkins.

 

And of course, it’s always fun to mix and match these elements.

 

The placemats on the tablecloth give off a very elegant vibe, especially for Thanksgiving. It delineates each person’s place setting so nicely.

 

You can’t go wrong with this look for fall. The way the Charlotte table runner casually adds so much character to the space makes it one of the easiest décor fixes out there!

 

I like to leave a pretty runner on the table for weeks at a time. Just add fresh flowers and candles.    

 

Table setting has never been easier!

 

Here’s the same look using the Charlotte Indigo table runner, placemats and napkins. A look that can be used 365 days of the year!

 

The new Autumn line of goods also makes holiday gift-giving a breeze. Check out the pretty kitchen tea towels that are sure to elevate any kitchen setting.

 

The new soft voile cotton Kimono-style robes also make thoughtful gifts. Wouldn’t it be fun to wake up and just effortlessly throw one of these pretty robes on?

Treat your favorite cook to a lovely apron that just coordinates with everything on the table! Wouldn’t that be fun?

They’re so comfortable. I love the two large front pockets, and the adjustable neck strap makes wearing it so easy.

The new season deserves a new cosmetic pouches or two. These are constructed from a quilted block-printed cotton and the inside is lined with plastic, for easy clean-up. They also have little pockets inside and an adorable tassel finishes off the look.

 

Seaside Gallery & Goods  will be carrying the whole new line as well as classic favorites. You can shop online here, or if you’re local, stop in for a visit in Newport Beach.

 

Seaside Gallery and Goods is located at 124 Tustin Avenue in Newport Beach, just off of Pacific Coast Highway.

the most perfect plates for autumn

Now that September is in full swing, we can really focus on that spectacular season of the year, FALL! 🍁🍂

 

What better way to show your fall spirit than with the most gorgeous fine bone china dinner plates embellished with the most amazing oak leaf and acorn pattern?

 

This is the Norwood Acorn pattern from Vagabond House. 

At this table, I’ve used the salad plates paired with pretty and lacy Finezza dinner plates from Arte Italica and rustic raffia placemats from Serena & Lily.

A few fallen autumn leaves add a bit of whimsy to the table. 🍁🍂

 

Vintage inspired amber glass goblets really help to light up the table, and adds a bit of sparkle.

 

I just love how bringing in a few bundles of foraged autumn branches picks up on the lovely realistic leaf pattern of the Norwood china.

 

Fall is my favorite time for foraging, and this table shows you how easy it can be! Also make note of the beautiful Acorn Flatware also from Vagabond House.

 

Each individual utensil has got so much detail that it makes it a true pleasure to sit down and eat a meal, all while enjoying these precious pieces.

 

I almost forgot... You may have also spotted the Norwood Acorn plates in the new Autumn issue of Country Sampler Farmhouse Style. Check out some highlights HERE.

 

I’ll be back soon with more inspired fall tablescapes, easy autumn décor ideas and heart-warming recipes!

farmhouse style for fall 2023

Have you picked up the Autumn issue of Farmhouse Style yet? 🍁🍂

They’re celebrating their fifth year, and this issue is just filled to the brim with fall décor inspiration, fun DIY projects and yummy recipes.

 

As a regular contributor to Country Sampler Farmhouse Style, I have a few season projects and recipes to show you today…  

 

Check out the table runner. It’s made entirely of vintage book pages. I took a damaged book, ripped out the pages and affixed them to contact paper to create this look.

 

Here’s another view of the table that did not appear in this issue. I love how the patina of the old book pages blends in so well with the rustic autumn leaves.

 

And check out these gorgeous Acorn Leaf Plates from Vagabond House. They’re heirloom quality china, and so pretty! 

Also notice the little DIY Votive. It’s also featured in this issue. Pretty gauzy napkins are from Amazon, and most everything else is vintage.

 

Next up is my fun collection of vintage enamel coffee pots. I really love the ones with curvy spouts and the ones with the little glass percolator knobs on top.

 

I styled them here for fall with sunflowers, daisies and autumn leaves from the garden.

 

Here’s the same look but without the autumn leaves. Which look do you prefer? This one would work any time of year, wouldn't it?

This fall issue also featured one of the first projects I created for Farmhouse style, this apple wreath. I still remember how happy and amazed I was when it first appeared in print 5 years ago!

 

One of the cutest projects are these repurposed glass jars made into votives by simply using old book pages, a little baker’s twine and some mod podge. A little pumpkin cut-out adds fall charm to the whole look.

 

I also used these on the tablescape with the book page table runner that I mentioned above. It all goes together hand in hand with the autumn vibe.

 

A Halloween tablescape is up next. I kept it elegant and slightly spooky all with a farmhouse twist. The Farmhouse Stripe Table Linens is what really gives it that home feel, and I used vintage china for added warmth and character.

 

Bright pops of orange marigolds gives it that fun Halloween vibe and of course the black candles bring it all to life.

 

Back to the “Novel Décor” article, they also brought back one of my vintage projects that appeared in their Kitchen Issue. This one using old books as a knife block is quite cheeky, but it works brilliantly!    

And  check out that preppy madras belt. I stole that from my hubby's closet, but he was happy to lend it to me.

Two of my recipes are featured in this fall issue, and first up we have this yummy dessert. I’ve been making this Sweet Potato Chiffon Pie at Thanksgiving for many years, and it’s definitely a family favorite.

The cute napkin featured above is from August Table.

 

The theme for the recipe article is “Favorite Southern Dishes”, and this one fits the bill perfectly. Another favorite Southern recipe is my take on She-Crab Soup.

 

Back in the day, way, way back in the day, they used crab roe for this recipe, but by today’s standards, that’s not sustainable, so here I substituted egg yolks to give it an extra luxurious kick.

The Blue Crab Cheese Board and Pewter Crab Place Card Holders are from Vagabond House.

🍁🍂 All-in-all this is a great issue, 

and given that I love fall soooo much, 

this one definitely has lots for seasonal inspo.🍁🍂
