Good evening and happy fall! I have waited a while to say that…..LOVE fall. We have had some really nice weather, a few days cool enough for a light sweater, I say bring it on! Today is a look at life the last few weeks (the good and pretty only). What would we do without our phones to chronicle life’s happenings.

I know I can’t imagine life without mine as it allows me to hold onto special memories. My trusty little iPhone has been a faithful companion (going on 4 years). A lot of people ask which phone I use for my pictures, I have the iPhone 8. I am due for an upgrade but somehow not making it a priority, besides this one takes great pictures. We have been very busy settling  into the new warehouse/office and it’s really coming together. I cannot wait to “show you around” in a week or two.

Onwards we go,  with life around here lately……….

With fall being my favorite season, I needed to do something to usher int hat fall feeling, so went into the yard cut some greens and brought my pumpkins!

I bought these faux white pumpkins a few years ago from a local garden shop, they look super real and I love that I don’t have to go in search of white pumpkins every year I am not a big orange pumpkin girl and love the simplicity of the white

I used my favorite porcelain pumpkin family on my mantle in the dining room with fresh greens and pagodas (lots of people ask about these pagodas, they will be back in Nov)

I love bringing out my porcelain pumpkins every year (sold individually or as a set, click here to see)

Went into the yard and cut evergreen and boxwood, who says its only for Christmas! I say 2020, anything goes:)

Picked up these beautiful fresh flowers from Scarsellas and had such fun making a few arrangements with all the containers that just came back in!

Our best selling vertical leaf and swag and garland are back in stock, this is the medium size (click here to see)

And beyond excited to get our Mimi vases in 3 weeks! These are now available to preorder (click here)

Love a small bouquet in an elegant mint julep, to me our mint julep collection is the best around! (click here to see)

Wicker samples! I cannot get enough, getting in most of our wicker in less than 2 weeks!! All presale ordres will ship at that time….stay tuned!

Made me sons favorite bolognese sauce, kind of obsessed with micro greens lately as a garnish, they look good on everything:)

Cannot wait to get these painted hurricanes in. Here they are on display in my office

Hit my favorite little local farm stand, every time i go there I am so inspired to take pictures, it’s like going back in time

Such yummy tomatoes!

Another stop at one of my favorite nurseries, Scarcellas

Nothing like coming home with a trunk of mums!

Have you ever wondered what porcelain heaven looks like? Then look no further than our warehouse! Still organizing but it’s been to sort through everything!

Can’t wait to show you the new space as soon as things are in order!

Cannot tell you how much I love using my new trellis and topiary mixing/storage bowl set. I literally use them daily. They also  make the best gift. Above shows I practice what I preach:)  Plus they are pretty enough to use for serving which I do regularly.  Click here to see mixing bowls.

Think I saved the best for last….how sweet is this picture of Duke with his little buddy keeping him company! Miss him so much.

And that is life around here lately, at least the good and pretty:) Not really getting out a whole lot besides work and home to be honest, with Covid I am just extremely cautious. Nothing feels so pressing that I need to risk anything. So little things like cooking something yummy or picking up fresh flowers, stopping in at the farm stand have all taken on new meaning.

Have you had the same experience? I guess its all about perspective. Thank you for stopping in, wishing everyone a wonderful evening. Until next time….

PS Our chionsierie tole presale is in full swing (ends tomorrow) and don’t forget to throw your name in the hat for a special tole giveaway! Click here to see

Love this sweet pic of Teddy:)
