~ Our September House ~

I can honestly say 'I don't know how I did it'.  This new 'season' I'm in (in more ways than one) doesn't leave me a second to seasonal decorate but I decided when I took that call and said yes that there were some things that I would not let go of concerning my house.

And this was one.

So didn't take all of the photos I usually do but here some of it is... my September house... right before all of the orange and black comes out for October!  (but first some decorating music)



a little cozy in the kitchen





with a china mug



and cinnamon apple crisp tea



and cake (with a lick I see from my red head I'm sure)



little paper leaves while we wait for the crisp days to turn the ones in our own yard









a wooden lazy susan on the kitchen table in a white theme



milk glass and little creamware animals that make me think of a fall fair





verse of the week that I wrote for my girls but I literally quoted day after day, minute after minute for me





fall in the family room





Tasha Tudor, I collect and love















they are few and faaaar between now, evenings cozy evenings on the couch now... sometimes we don't even get to cuddle up on a weekend... these weekend dates have been all about helping me plan... but these remind me that we have to make the time





apples in the living room / viola room









a shiny red teapot anna gave me a few years ago at christmas



and a cookbook/decorating idea book that is delightful to reread each fall



a little 'joan walsh anguland' on he dining room table



yes, always counting our blessings

Our Home ~ September

A lot of apples, a few pumpkins and a fresh new feeling in our space.

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.
