Autumn is a second spring
where every leaf is a flower.
Albert Camus
Merry Autumn Days
By Charles Dickens
Hail to the merry Autumn days,
when yellow corn-fields shine,
Far brighter than the costly cup that
holds the monarch's wine!
Hail to the merry harvest-time,
the gayest of the year,
The time of rich and bounteous crops,
rejoicing, and good cheer!
Tis pleasant on a fine Spring
morn to see the buds expand,
Tis pleasant in the Summer
time to view the teeming land;
Tis pleasant on a Winter's
night to crouch around the blaze, ~
But what are joys like these,
my boys, to Autumn's merry days!
~ Wishing you crisp Autumn mornings ~
~ Warm, cozy nights ~
~ Merry Autumn Days ~

ReplyDeleteLovely postings as always.everything looks beautiful.the white pumpkin and the pink one looks just great along with the red berries....thanks....:):)
So gorgeous, Sarah! I love the vignette with all the Nell Hill's books -- I have all of those, too. And a Courtly Check acorn? Adorable!
ReplyDeleteLoving all your fall decor but so curious at what those green apple-type things are.
ReplyDeleteSarah~ I love all your fall vignettes and beautiful mosaics! I am ready for merry harvest-time! I just pulled out my NH Entertaining with Style for some inspiration yesterday :)
ReplyDeleteWe are expecting two days of heavy rain and then hopefully, crisp, sunny fall weather!
Oh Sarah, I LOVE FALL. But my favorite of all are those WHITE pumpkins....I think it is the texture that I enjoy most of all.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU for visiting and if you do swing on your own paper moon, remember this:
FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS - and-

I think I forgot my brain when I quit my job....it is NOT easy to sell art!!! I know that now....

So many pretties in this post. I don't even know where to begin. I do love that little basket holding your plant. Is it a fishing basket (don't know how to spell the word for it!)? Sarah, are those double doors in the mosaic at your house? They are gorgeous! I'm also in love with that rooster painting. I don't think I've seen it before. Everything looks beautiful. laurie
ReplyDeleteWill have to peek and peek again..:-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! I love the velvet pumpkins!
ReplyDeleteSarah, all of your Fall pictures are so lovely. I love the shadows on so many of them. The play of light is exquisite. I haven't done much decorating and feel like the fall is already here and running away from me!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so pretty, Sarah! I love how you caught the light and shadows in your pictures. I have forgotten the name of the little green balls...but I do love them in the vignettes, very different!
ReplyDeleteHappy October!

Sarah such lovely photos! They express all the moods of Fall perfectly. Love your vignettes. The white and velvet pumpkins look amazing! Glorious is the word that comes to mind!
ReplyDeletehugs, Linda
Beautiful...I love all of your pumpkins..and I love that you said that every leaf is a flower in the Fall!....
ReplyDeleteOh, everything is beautiful! I love a little bit spread around everywhere, and that is what it looks like you have done. Can't wait to see more :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you stopped by our place.
What a very elegant autumn post! Your vignettes are always extremely lovely and interesting to see. I especially like the one in this post with the stack of books. I have some of the same ones and enjoy them very much. -------

Hi Sarah, I love your Fall pics in tune to Charles Dickens' words! I can't believe that cute Courtly Check acorn with the squirrel!! I'm loving our cooler temps here in Texas, aren't you?
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah, Your touches of fall are so beautiful and elegant! I tried to pick a favorite vignette, but each one was just as lovely! I do love your doors in the collage! They have such beautiful character!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping in to visit and for leaving the sweet comment! Come again! :)
All your vignettes are so pretty. Love the hedge apples and Japanese lanterns, and the cute little squirrels. Love that last vignette, especially.

Hi Sarah, That poem is so beautiful. I'm copying it to hang in my kitchen. I do love the autumn. AND I love that wallpaper in your first photo. All your vignettes are perfect--especially the M-C acorn! I greatly enjoyed this post. Linda
ReplyDeleteSo inspiring, Sarah!
ReplyDeleteI love the pumpkins on the old marble top scale. I must copy that!!! Terrific idea.
I am so anxious for our osage oranges (or hedge apples or monkey balls) to start falling again! I would love to have bowls full of them around the house. They smell so good. Love how you have displayed yours.
Thanks for sharing
your vignettes!

ReplyDeleteBeeeeuuuuuutiful! You have such a knack for vignettes. They are perfectly appropriate for autumn, but not one bit trite. Love the originality and your photography is astounding.

What a lovely post. Charles Dickens is my very favorite author. And I spied the Chinese lanterns in one of your photographs; also a favorite of mine! Have a great day! (Visiting from Tabletop Tuesday)
ReplyDeleteI don't know what I love best... the osage oranges which remind me of childhood because we had several trees of these in the back pasture. They were old ones, too. Or your adorable pumpkins. OR the cute scarecrow. Love all the fall goodies, Sarah.
ReplyDeleteXO,

I love: "Autumn is a second spring and every leaf a flower." Love that!
ReplyDeletePopping back by to say I am so glad to see you and thank you for visiting. I want to email you, and if you get something from me with my initials, you'll know it's me and not SPAM.
I really miss you. So much to tell you, but I'll save that for later.
Thanks for making me feel so love, Sarah. Sending you love back...

I'm visiting from Home and Garden Thursday. Your vignetts are just beautiful, especially that velvet pumpkin. What a beautiful color. Great poem..Happy Wednesday..Judy
ReplyDeleteYour autumn vignettes are beautiful! My favorite is your second mosaic. Gorgeous decorating, Sarah!
ReplyDeleteLove the acid green of Osage Oranges too. I pick them off the big trees near my office every year starting in July before they hit the ground. That color is so fun to decorate with.
ReplyDeleteMerry autumn days to you too! I enjoyed all of your creative little vignettes. You have quite an eye for detail. Hard to pick a favorite but I really loved the silver pedestal bowl with the acorns and little squirrel! So darn cute!
ReplyDeleteWell this was just wonderful. I enjoyed the beautiful vignettes and the poetry. What a wonderful post! :)
ReplyDeleteSarah, These are all beautiful Autumn vignettes! Thanks for joining the Open House party and entering the giveaway. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteI love your vignettes!
