Embracing Autumn~

Autumn has crept up on us...even though we are still enjoying the odd  balmy evening and  need that swim to cool down!

I love this time of the year....
Preparing a tablescape in my garden to soak up the last of  those late summer evenings.......

Inspired by many things .........

The colours of autumn...............

A friend's upcoming wedding.......................

And  late summer crops........

I  hope you enjoy as much as I did creating this in the peace and solitude of my garden..................













With all these colours and props,  my creative juices were flowing again......







Love this tableware found at Mr Price Home.....













































And waiting patiently for his piece of cheese......my little friend......


Simply in love with this time of the year!


See you soon!

I love "the blues" ~





Anything blue will do for me.....I inherited the love for blue from my darling mother~
A blue bridesmaid's dress hangs from my guestroom~
she is such a sweet girl ~
this guestroom is all feminine and just the way I like it~


  
                                   



With a hint of the beach nearby..........................













Old blue china......








Dried hydrangeas in a little gift bag made especially for me from Monique


And the blue hydrangeas from my garden that have given me so much
 joy this season.................


perhaps  a little nostalgia......



 the traditions of their school......







and this Grey traditional song.......
that I had endless pleasure listening to for so many years!

The Blues!
We sing of a home of old renown
With its front to the
southern seas,
Whose
halls are peopled with cap and gown
And filled with the
sea- borne breeze.
Where often one hears the
ringing cheers
Of
half a thousand boys:
And the eyes are bright and the
hearts are light
With
boyhood's laughter and joys!

Have a beautiful day!
Shel

Sorry no green...!!

Linking to Pink Saturday.
