Ready for Fall

Summer is with us for another month, but our eyes are on Fall, when the world starts to calm, the air cools, and the trees turn quiet colors of the earth. Autumn has always been, hands down, my favorite time of year… I love the smell of the changing leaves, it reminds me of Autumn in Pennsylvania. There were no blowers or mulching mower, just three wooden handled rakes my father handed to complaining teens on Saturday mornings. But by noon we were jumping in piles of leaves with our trusty beagle and enjoying the colors and smells of the season. Here in the south Fall means football in a way only ACC and SEC fans can understand. It’s seeing friends at tailgates that are planned like you’re hosting a wedding. It’s traditions and school colors worn with pride. Greenville, SC is home to Clemson football and I can’t explain the Tiger fan loyalty. It’s something you have to experience. And it’s Georgia football where my son graduated (Go Dawgs!). But back to Autumn. The fall colors we’ve always seen in homes in Autumn are orange, green and brown hues. But this year we are seeing an unexpected color, pink!  We’re showing glass ombre pumpkins that move from deep orange to pink and the result is stunning! So don’t put away all the pink decor from summer quite yet. You may add a new twist to your Fall table, mixing in the pinks with the oranges, greens and browns. And as you enjoy your first fire, your fall decor can also be in the ever on trend blue and white. Check out the seasonal pages on the website for blue and white turkey candle holders, chinoiserie pumpkins and candles. As always, we want to help you LIVE BEAUTIFULLY!
