Today is the first official day of Autumn, and for me, I welcome the cooler days and nights with changes of color to arrive hopefully soon. Here in the Lone Star state it starts gradual, but very welcome when we get a break from the high temps we experienced this wonderful summer. I love fall and I like to view this time of year as mother nature's way of blessing us with a restful time when her glorious Godly creations can rest for awhile till we welcome back beautiful blooms in the spring.
Time to be outdoors enjoying daily walks and cozy times inside enjoying our homes and families. I just started to spruce up for the season and here are a few pictures to share today. But first, I received a special award from Sherry at Edie Marie's Attic

A FEW TOUCHES OF FALL
In the Dining room I like to add to my tea display by adding fall candle rings around the cups using the saucer as the base. I fill the cup with a battery tea lite. These work great in places you do not want heat and will be unattended. I have also used these in my Irish candle holders to keep them clean. Have you tried these? They are gorgeous at night and the batteries can be replaced when needed.
Before I say so long for now, I just wanted to share with you Miss Beazy Lee and her sweet Lizard friend as they visit at the window. This lizard arrives each day to the studio window to visit with Beaz, and as you can see, Beazy is just fasinated! Sweet Lizard is smart though, knowing the window is between them.
Until next visit, Blessings and Blue Skies.

Thanks so much for the award Aunt Celeste! I will have to post it on my blog. I love the pics of Miss Beazy and the little lizard- so cute. My dog sitter told me that he has ducklings and Ries will be there this weekend- anxious to see how she deals with that!
Gorgeous. I love all your vignettes. Thank you for sharing them. I love fall and fall decorations!
Celeste, I love your fall decor. The battery tealights look so sweet. Enjoyed reading your blog and as always viewing your lovely creations. Have a great day!

Hi Celeste!
Thanks so much for the award and also for your kind comments as always on my blog.
You have inspired me to do more decorating. I get caught up in my crafting and just don't feel as motivated to decorate now that my boys are older. I love, LOVE your decorations. I just found those little lights at Michael's the other day. Now you have shown me a neat way to use them!
Miss. Beazy is so so cute...great pics!
Hugs...Betzie
Hi Celestina,
I have to say, Miss Beazy Lee is a sweet heart, I always enjoy it when you show pictures of her.
Thank you so much for the beautiful award. I hope you know that I love your blog as well, always one of my favorite places to visit. : )
I remember you telling me that you created miniatures for years. That is a big challenge and I'm sure a lot of work to do only minis for so long. I hope some day you will show some of those designs on your blog, I would love to see them.
I'm not sure I really love painting that small, LOL. When I have an order for some, that is when I paint them, they are really small and I find it a real challenge. I do enjoy egg art a lot , they are small but not that small so to me, a lot more managable.
Thanks for sharing your lovely fall home decor.
Ruth
Celestina, thank you so much for this award!
As you know, I visit your blog almost every day. In addition to loving all your handmade artwork, I am now enjoying your autumn decor. And I love how you featured your tea set for the season!
Thanks again for selecting The Tea Room and me for this award. I am truly honored, especially since it comes from you.

I've seen the little tea lights, but never used them. I'll give those battery ones a try. Love your fall decorations!
Celeste, your home looks so warm and inviting. But that's not surprising, because you are.
Your Miss Beazy is adorable!
I love fall too. It's a good time of year to be creative, to feather the nest for winter and to settle down and reflect and be grateful, isn't it. I think the Pilgrims got it right!

Hi Dear Friend! Oh thank you so much for this honorable award Celeste! It means everything to me. Especially right now! You deserve it more than anyone could!! I am anxious to visit the blogs you presented it to as well as I never have. I am sure they are all wonderful!
Your home is so stunning Celeste! I adore your fall decor. It is so warm and comforting as is your description of beautiful Fall!
Miss Beazy is so adorable with her lizard friend!!!! I could just squeeze her :) I love all these pictures!!! I saw a lizard here in Michigan last month and could not believe it! I tried to get it but it was too fast, lol!
Love you,
Amy

Oh, Miss Beazy Lee and the Lizard...sounds like a children's book to me. So cute, you made me laugh out loud. Congratulations on your award and I already peeked into those blogs. I love to visit new places in Blogland. Your fall decorations look beautiful. This is my favorite season also. Karen
Hi Celestina,
Your centerpieces are all gorgeous.
You gave me some great ideas for the tea lights. I do have several, but believe it or not I don't have any of them out right now. I love them in your tea cups.
I have a couple more posts to do with Fall. I've been spreading them out. I thought for 3 months it's worth the decorating.
I just got back from Pigeon Forge, TN so I will post some of that trip first.
I appreciate your visits and your're very encouraging to me. Have a great week!
Hi Celeste,Your fall decorating is wonderful.Fall gives me a warm and cozy feeling.I am so happy I can visit your blog now and my computer doesnt freeze up.Beazy is so sweet visiting with her lizard friend.I like your hutch with the black and wood it looks great.Did you just do that?Hugs,Jen
Congratulations on your award! Thanks for stopping by to see my new shop at Very Vintage. Sounds like you've been there, done that. If you have any words of wisdom, I would truly like to hear them! Thanks for your encouragement!
Happy Autumn to you, too! You touches of fall around your house are all so lovely, of course! What else would I expect from such a talented decorator like you. That lizard that visits your dog makes for such a cute story!
Congrats on your award and thanks for the nice comment on my blog today!
Hello Celeste, Happy Fall to you:) Hope this will bring some cooler weather to Texas... I am ready! Your home is lovely with all your fall decorations. Love the tea lights. As for Miss Beazy,what a sweet heart. Wonder what they talk about?
Have a great week, Hugs Mary:)

Smooches,

Love your pretty dishes Celeste.
Hello, Celestina!
Mmmm your home looks so warm and restful with all your Fall decorations!
I have never tried the battery tea lights. I thought they would look too fake. Yours certainly look pretty though! Great idea to put them in china cups.
Love your doggie! I remember those cute little lizards from Texas. Ha! I wasn't especially fond of them myself. :> I felt one crawling down my arm once from inside my jacket. That jacket came off reeeeal fast- let me tell you!!!!
Have a creative and amusing day!
Congratulations on the award! Your autumn decorations are beautiful and I especially like the idea of teh candle rings round the teacups...I may have to steal that one:>)
Dear Celeste,
Sorry I have been out of touch.
My husband has been ill but is reovering nicely after rushing him to the emergency. Talk about busy ...your decorations are wonderful and I congratulate you on the award. I do love your sweet blog. It is truly a refleciton of your kindness and your amazing talent.

Hi Celeste, thank you so much for stopping by and leaving such a sweet comment! Your fall vignettes are beauitful! I love the tea lights and Miss Beazy is so cute with the lizard. I love fall too and can't wait for the leaves to change. I stared decorating the porch but have not done much inside yet. We are doing some remodeling so I will have to decorate around that mess. Congrats on the award, you certainly deserve it.
Love you, Shirl

Hey Sweet Celeste...Oh Miss Beazy is just a doll!
Love your Autumn decor! I haven't pulled any of mine out yet. Hey, I could really use your decorating expertise..if you have the time. I posted pix of my Mst BR in PRH and I'm trying to freshen it up a bit..staying with my blues/mauve/pink palet...I'd love any help you might be able to give! I just need fresh eyes and life is so "Up in the Air" right now that this needs to be a calming place for both of us.
Miss chatting with ya...hope you are doing well!

Thank you again Celeste,I will add you to mine also.Hugs Marie A.
Hi Celeste! What a beautiful celebration of fall decor. I love it! The colors are so warm and inviting! I, too love the coolness of the evenings, and have sat on our patio in our adirondack chairs with a log lit firepit, and cup of coffee in hand. There is something about sitting out there in nature like our ancestors did, staying warm by the fire.
I hope you have a blessed day and thanks for sharing!!!

Hi Celeste,
Your Fall decor is delightful. Love the sign and the Fall decorating around your home. You know my favorite is Miss Beazy and that smart lizard - you could write a children's book about their visits (whoops there goes my imagination again ;) It would be wonderful though...
Happy weekend to you
xo~Tracie
Just Beautiful! And sweet photos of your pup and her green friend!

Como vai Celestina?
Saindo um pouco do crochet, estou passando para lhe dizer que tenho no meu blog os vÃdeos do concerto de Stravinsky que o meu filho Rodolfo realizou este verão na Meadowmount School of Music.
Ficaria muito feliz se pudesse passar lá.

It's so amazing that the lizard keeps coming back! I wonder what he's thinking? I think Beazy wants to give him a little kiss ;)
