Autumn is a second spring where every leaf is a flower -Albert Camus
I know I’ve used this quote before, but isn’t it true? Fall never ceases to amaze me with it’s many striking colors!
With any season, I love to bring the beauty of nature indoors. The last few months I was pretty well booked full with tea parties and I decided to use white pumpkins, old wood and some grape vines for the table center piece…
For the napkins I rolled them up, wrapped a piece of natural hemp around them and added a leaf…
For the evening parties I used candles for the lighting…
For the tags hanging from the pumpkins, I just printed out the letters and glued them onto burlap squares. I tied them using hemp string.
All these decorations were very simple to fix and I didn’t spend much money at all!
I have a few other areas in our home that I place leaves to bring some fall color inside…

On a different note I want to share some of the fall beauty that I captured cruising the country roads in our area. (Holmes county was after all, voted in the top three for fall beauty in the world!)
Love old, abandoned buildings…
A few weekends ago we were down to the lake for a little get away, and I managed to bribe my guys into taking some family pictures. I did manage to capture some pretty good ones, but of course, there were these too..
The shoe photo bomb…
The distracted trio because of an old truck cruising down the road… (believe me, the photographer was a little distracted too.. love historical vehicles
The clumsy photographer vault …where the photographer didn’t make the first jump onto the log in the twenty seconds she had to get situated into the picture…
The beauty of the lake..
After all the driving around, looking at fall splendor, it was right here at home where some of the nicest colors were!
Happy November, everyone!
