Welcome Autumn!!!
Hello my friends...I hope that you've had a wonderful week!
I've spent the entire week getting ready for Autumn. Since Autumn is my favorite season...I really enjoy autumn decorating! For me...it's like an annual "rite of passage" or my way of ushering in the season!
"Seasonal Snippets"
My autumn decorating is finished...well at least for the most part! I'm still doing a bit of "tweaking" here and there! Hehe!!! My days have been consumed with deep cleaning...decorating...crafting...and more cleaning! I just haven't had the time to take photos and post...but I'm getting to it! In the meantime, I thought it would be fun to share some "Seasonal Snippets"!
Yes...SEASONAL SNIPPETS!!!
Snippets (definition) - a small piece snipped off; a small bit, scrap, or fragment.
I'm thinking that "Seasonal Snippets" would make a great autumn blog party...a precursor or prelude of what is to come! Just a glimpse to whet the appetite!!! Hehe! So without further ado...

Seasonal Snippets...The Fruits of Fall!!!
All of the photos you will see are "snippets" of a few of the autumn vignettes that I have done at my place! This idea came to me when I took a close-up photo of an earlier vignette. A bird's eye view...with all the beautiful details!!!
It really is...all in the details"!!!
Ahhh...the beautiful deep, rich colors of autumn...the golden yellows...the vibrant oranges...the rusts...the scarlet reds...olive greens...and browns! These are all my favorite colors!!! Ohhh...and it's not just the colors but it's also the titillating textures!!! I can't go by an autumn leaf without touching it! Ohhh...and what about a fuzzy cattail or the beautiful texture of a pinecone? I love Autumn!!!
I have also been having some fun with photo effects...hope you enjoy!!!

ReplyDeleteYou are definitely putting me in the mood to think fall, and our slightly cooler and dryer temperature hints at fall and helps with that too. Have fun decorating!
ReplyDeleteThese are all beautiful. I can stay at look at them for a while except I don't have the time.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice break, hurry back, we will miss you!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed seeing the snippets of last years designs! So beautiful!

Chari- What pretty pictures you are doing these days friend!
ReplyDeleteI am sorry I am so tardy in getting the info to you about the cups and saucers. We have had a whirlwind of a week with emergencies and unexpected guests and I have yet to get them packed to figure out how much they weigh. I will try and get it done tomorrow (more company expected so we will see! ) I haven't forgotten you friend!
bee blessed

Good Morning Chari,
ReplyDeleteOMG girl, your fall decor and pics are just stunning! Marty is right you do have great photography skills.
We were cooler this past week to and got down into the 40's as well.
Anyhoo, I had to go to the ER early this morning. I badly pulled muscles in my back, leg and hand from painting. OMG it hurt so bad I was crying. The DR. said acute carpal tunnel and strained back and leg. I have to wear a brace and they gave me some pain pills.
I can't be on the computer too much but I wanted to come and say hi.
Take care and happy decorating!
Hugs,
Cindy
Hi, Chari! You are on your way to teaching me to love Fall. You know that, don't you? Usually, Fall just makes me say, "No no no! I don't want summer to end! And after Fall comes Winter, and I hate COLD. Waaah!"
ReplyDeleteNow I'm sitting here thinking, "Ooh. Pears. YUM." and "Aren't those colors just luscious?" Hmmm. Well, it's a start. I will now think of Fall and just get happy in the same pants I got depressed in!
Posted a Sunday ReRun. Okay to put the link here, I hope?
