Easing into Fall

I am easing into fall this year, as you will see from my tablescape!

I have seen a lot of beautiful full blown, pumpkin filled fall tables around blogland in the last two weeks.  While they are gorgeous, and I love fall - I am just am not feeling it yet.

 It has been an unusual late August and Early September.  While the tempuratures feel a lot like fall, everything is still very green around here.  

Luckily I had clipped some of these different Hydrangea blooms a couple weeks ago and let them dry out in my garage, because a lot of our plants are still in full bloom.

I mixed some of the dried pieces with some faux fall foliage in a simple white pitcher

for my centerpiece.

A simple plate stack of white and light brown or fawn colored plates top the textured weaved place mats.

  I brought in even more textures with the burlap napkins and the basket weave brims on the white plates as well.

We have been doing a lot of work on the yard outside,  putting in some steps and a small patio with a fire pit.  My husband is doing all of the heavy work,  I have done some planting since we had no flower beds or landscaping at all.  We are trying to complete this soon so that we can enjoy some nice fall fires in the crisp autumn evenings.  So, until today I had not taken the time to pull out all of my fall decor.

Now that I have started to ease into fall, I will be working on the rest of the house with fall touches as well.  

Prayers to all of you who have had to endure hardships with the hurricanes and flooding.  My heart goes out to all who have been touched by these devastating events. 

I hope Autumn brings much better weather and a calmness across the nation. 

Wishing you all a wonderful peaceful fall.

Thanks for  stopping by,

Ann
