pumpkins and pansies . . . Fall at home


  
 


If you visit me often, then you've seen various photos of pumpkins & pansies in my side bar since the beginning of Fall. I've fallen hard for them this season, along with . . .

My youngest daughter, Lauren, and I visited a beautiful nursery about 20 minutes South of us several weeks ago. We spent a few hours wandering around and admiring the seasons harvest.

The entry to the nursery greeted us with bushels of tall, dried corn stalks and hundreds of stacked pumpkins on - and around - a big, charming wood wagon. And to the right of the breath-taking entrance was aisle after aisle of Fall-colored pansies and violas.  I wish I had taken photos to share with you.

My inspiration this year to add pansies and violas to my Fall decor was inspired by our visit to the nursery.











I have several aged clay pots, of all sizes . . . and filled the smaller ones with bright Fall-colored pansies and violas. (See my aged clay pot post here)

I've enjoyed them so much this season that I have plans to line the center of our Thanksgiving table with them this year, along with the speckled pumpkins, mini lemon cypress, and nuts of all shapes, sizes, and colors. I can't wait!

  2. Suzanne-these photographs are so beautiful and inspiring! I've really enjoyed seeing all your fall touches last month and continuing into this month. Seriously, I could spend a lot of time drooling over this post alone. I would love to see more of your hand-glued oak leaf branches-it looks like your hard work paid off! Thanks for sharing!

  14. Oh my gosh! Your fall decor is just spectacular to behold. I love how you strategically utilized the pansies and pumpkins. Your home must look really gorgeous, judging from your aesthetics in the decor. The next decorating season is fast approaching and I'm sure it'll be amazing for you as well. Thank you for sharing that much beauty with us! Wishing you all the best!
