Giving into Fall

Looking out my kitchen window this morning it certainly looked very fallish...
This is a very old Arbutus tree that is native to Vancouver Island. It is strong , sturdy
and loves to shed its leaves all summer. I haven't decided if i love it or hate it
on my property. It makes a great place to hang a tire swing though. i have a great view of it while I'm cooking in the kitchen. After looking out at
this tree and then looking at the all white kitchen i decided to add some fall feel.

But not to the kitchen. Remember my orange dining room (that i did not paint!) well

it seemed the perfect place to put my only fall arrangement.

Due to moving across Canada i had to give up alot of things. Crafts and stuff

was on the list. This arrangement survived the giveaway pile.

My black dishes are perfect for fall. I love these dishes. They are made in Germany

and have a lovely milk glass feel. Never seen anything like them.

My pewter comes out this time of year. It says fall to me ...definitely not summer!

Here's another close up of my lovely black dishes...

My table arrangement to welcome in Fall...

Here's hoping for an Indian Summer!

I'm still not ready to let go of summer...
