This time of year the light has the most gorgeous golden hue and a crispness in the air only for this season...
makes me want to prepare for the colder coming months and start 'cosying up' at home...out come the throws, more cushions and more and more candles...
the colours change in the house in the autumn too...out come all the cosy colours...the golds and browns and the reds...
red is my favourite colour and this week especially I have noticed it appearing about more and more...
the leaves are gradually beginning to wear their autumnal tones of red... I love to see the start of this...
the apples on the tree in the garden are beginning to turn nice and rosy...
the pots and the geraniums are still going strong and are the brightest red of all...
Red Admiral butterflies are in abundance in our garden again this year...they like to cling to the wall outside the kitchen window and enjoy the sun (when it does show itself!)
a little makeover (well a lick of paint) to change this hook that I bought at the Newcastle Quayside market in the spring...
changed from a neutral beige to a lovely red to go in the kitchen...
the kitchen has seen a lot of red bits appearing...
glittery red apples and berries in the glass dome...some seasonal pine cones mixed in too for good measure...
red berries on a Yankee Candle shade...the fragrance of Country Linen burning away is so fresh and clean, wonder if its still available...?
A red gingham pelmet at the kitchen window...quite fancy making a Swedish blind to go underneath...plain red with spotty ribbon maybe...
the red Cook sign was previously lilac, but since I had the paintbrush out it too got a makeover...
saw this sign in a little shop and it had to come home with me...well it has hearts on...
and I got to try out a wedding gift...this red spotty dish was perfect for an apple and blackberry crumble...with a very very cinnamon-ie crumble on top....quite nice, especially with a whacking great dollop of vanilla bean ice cream...oh those calories!
Have a lovely cosy Sunday evening all

Lovely post - I like the warm bright summer, but I LOVE this time of year. Autumn is my favouritist season for sure. Today, I have baked a pecan and cinnamon sour cream coffee cake, made bread, picked another 1.5lbs of Raspberries from the garden and sat and cross stitched a Christmas Pressie! If only it was cold enough to light the fire...but lets not get rid of the warmth THAT quickly I s'pose.

I think I'm repeating myself..it's still Summer and very hot here, fingers crossed for tonight for getting some fresh air, I can hear a storm in the distance whilst I'm typing!
ReplyDeleteAre you dreaming of Christmas with all those red bits perhaps?! :)

I like your glass dome! Lovely photos! I also love the autumn colours, my favourite colour being orange. I have a big box of candles which I collect throughout the year waiting for the dark evenings. The throws are already out. x
ReplyDeleteLove your post. I feel like I just went on a little tour with you. :) Ready for that tea now... :)
