Embracing the seasons (at home) ....

I do love the change of seasons, especially now all the beauty that Autumn brings.
Having a walk in the woods, when days shorten and temperatures become crisp. 
Admiring how the quiet green palette of summer foliage transforms into the vivid autumn
 palette of reds, oranges, golds, and browns before the leaves fall off the trees.
And not to forget that enchanting autumn light ....





But also the change in fashion. While I was 'shopping for the shop' I came across 
this lovely Poncho and Handbag and just had to keep one of each for myself ....


Another joy of this season is getting cosy indoors after that walk. 
I have to confess that this gorgeous Lantern also ended up in my home ....


The abundance of flowers of the 'cafe au lait' and the beautiful colour changing
 hydrangea gave me the idea for an autumnal centerpiece for my front garden. 


I used this Zinc Container as a base (together with floral foam) because of it's ideal 
shape for what I had in mind. 
Together with some Ivy this was the result of some early morning foraging ....



I already bought the rest of materials at the garden center .....


The next photo shows how about to go further ....


I'm so very happy with the end result ...


And just what I had in mind for an 'autumnal entrance' in front of my bay window ....


And clearly I'm not the only one who likes it ....



They say we're going to have an Indian summer this weekend, have a good one!
