Fall might not officially be here (we’ll have to wait until next Tuesday), but the weather tells me that it is here. Waking up to frosty mornings, which turn into warm days, the days are shorter and the leaves are beginning to turn. So it was time to add some Fall touches to my space: amber glass, acorns and leaves, feathers and touches of gold….

The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady, open to the page for September. I painted the leaves gold since they were originally much-too-bright oranges and yellows.

These little wooden mushrooms I got from the dollar store are such a whimsical addition.

These interesting dried flowers are Sea Holly, Eryngium, from my mom’s garden.

The covers of some books really are too pretty to hide: I also turned Anne’s House of Dreams face out, even though it’s a very Spring cover.
