Here is our 'Back to School' house

We'll start in the family room with an apple picking puzzle

and some fun back to school books.

No matter how 'old' they get, I'll always put them out.

The girls are playing this


And I love this

oh Brambley Hedge books... swoon


Abigail helped me one day create this






A 'come down the stairs' reminder to my girls... because there's always someone new in school.

Classics that I can never seem to change










Apples on the tree

And my favorite fall tea



I couldn't decide what pumpkins Peter liked better

but these I think

This to welcome Anna home


and the way it looks looking in

Some has already changed. Some of the things in our home and some of the weather. We're at the finicky part of weather here in Connecticut. Yesterday the girls wore sweaters to school. Today they were dressed in what they wore in Hawaii. But soon. Soon all of our days will be crisp. And leaves will change. And they will crunch under my feet. And it will be such a wonderful time of year.
I love it all especially the last picture....
ReplyDeleteI feel,the same way about bring our books out, no matter how old they are the same books will be brought out...even if it's just for me.
Love your mantle and you know I love all your garlands. I need to see your stash of garland one day...total garland envy here!
Tara, Magical. That was the word that ran through my mind the entire time I scrolled...and rescrolled through this beautiful post.
ReplyDeleteYour September home is perfect.
Every little touch!

The books!
Your September tree and your lights that will glow brighter as the days grow shorter and the cozy darkness comes sooner!
I adore this.
And you!
Happy September!
