"Delicious Autumn"...an Autumn Buffet

*

*

Hello my friends...I hope you're having a fabulous day!
* 
Besides cleaning up the aftermath of the weekend...I'm still plugging right along with the "autumn sprucing" at my place. I see that more and more of you are doing the same thing. There are only 11 days left until autumn is officially recognized on our calendars. Time sure does fly!
*
Sooo...while I am busy, busy...I thought I would share a bit of my autumn decor from last year.
*
 I hope that you enjoy!

"Delicious Autumn"...an Autumn Buffet
a revisit from September 20, 2010
*
*
Ahhhh...Autumn! Delicious Autumn!*

*
I read a quote the other day that I would like to share with you!
*
*"Delicious Autumn! My very soul is wedded to it,
and if I were a bird...I would fly about the earth
seeking the successive autumns."
~George Eliot~
*
*Delicious Autumn...An Autumn Buffet
*

The autumn buffet in my french country dining room.
*
Autumn is delicious! It enlivens my very soul!
* 

I feel like the bird that George Eliot wrote about. If it were possible...I would fly about seeking the successive autumns! After the long, hot, "lazy days of summer"...when that very first autumn breeze makes it way in...I just feel alive! I don't know about you...but I never get much done when it's hot! Hehe! I feel invigorated...energized!
*
I even feel like redecorating everything! Hehe! I enjoyed the light whites and the bright spring greens of my summer decor...don't get me wrong...but I was ready for a change! Sooo...in comes the warm, rich colors of autumn! Ahhh...Autumn! Delicious Autumn!
*

*

Ahhh...delicious autumn! How about a few autumn pears? Or maybe grapes...or berries?

*

An old gray distressed table tray filled with autumn florals and berries...sits at the far right of the buffet.
*

*
I love this tall pitcher with grapes...
*
The leaves are done in all the beautiful colors of autumn. I found this pretty pitcher at Hobby Lobby.
It was marked 80% off...if I remember correctly, I only paid $4 for it!
*

Three autumn pears sit atop a stack of autumn leaf plates.
*
 Ohhh...and do you see the two autumn birds? Their little wings are formed with embossed acorns and oak leaves.
*

*

Two of my newest cloches made of wire.
*
I love the gray distressed finish of them! They look so frenchy! Hehe! The shorter cloche is sitting upon a silver pedestal plate. I added a few autumn berries and a yellow-gold pillar candle. Another sweet little bird makes up the handle of the cloche. I love it! The tall wire cloche stands a very stately 30 in. in height. I added a couple of autumn floral picks and more berries to this cloche. It came with the little urn that its sitting upon.
