Gather in the Living Room for Fall

Welcome to my Gathering Room

and

Happy Fall Friends.

I just finished a little cork banner

that reads

GATHER.

I simply stenciled the letters

right on the thin cork flags

and

painted the checks at the bottom to complete.

I strung jute through the flags 

and

it was ready to hang from the mantel.

I added a tall bundle of wheat to fill an urn.

I love the soft color and the dried element.

 I really enjoyed working with the thin cork.

Little  timer lights strung through a garland of leaves 

come on each evening at the same time.

Ceramic pumpkins are tucked in among the leaves.

To the mantel top I placed 

a Georgia O'Keeffe print

of Orange Poppies.

I got this a few years ago in Santa Fe when I visited the

Georgia O'Keeffe museum.

She is one of my favorite artists

and her work always inspires me.

I had this print matted and framed

and love it in the fall season.

To the sides of the print I have a pretty piece of pottery

with a toile style accent.

I love the distress style of this bisque treasure.

And another tall pottery vase, a gift from my son several years ago.

The color and blend of this piece is one of my favorites.

On the hearth, I simply filled a wire basket with harvest accents

and a large stone acorn.

But my favorite little treasure

is my little grey mouse "Doose"

My mother made him many years ago and a special piece I hold dear.

You never know where he will be napping.

Home and cozy.

This pillow was a recent find at JoAnn's. 

The fabrics for the letters are wool blends.

The animal print throw is ready to curl up with along with a good book.

Across the room a vintage hutch from the late 1890's.

A collection of vintage books with fall candle and white pitchers.

Design Books always handy to inspire through the fall season.

My garden angel Della Dear, wears a wreath for the season.

A few views from around the room.

Cozy in the evenings

and even though it's still too hot

for a fire~~

My  flameless timer candles give a special glow from the fireplace.

Love the stitch work on this French pillow.

It works well to accent the color of the season.

A Gathering Room for Fall.

Thank you for visiting.

Have a great first weekend in Autumn.

~Be Blessed~
