I think I missed a season…. The weather has been so warm, here in Houston, Texas that it didn’t feel like fall. At all. I was waiting for the temperatures to cool down to take out my fall décor and to make a pumpkin craft or two, but I guess this isn’t going to happen!… Continue Reading
If there is only one cake you will bake this season, this has to be the one! Classic and simple, but filled with the flavors of fall; moist and soft from the apples; rich and nutty from the walnuts; with a sweet but a little crispier, crumble-style top. Is there anything more that you could want with a… Continue Reading
If you ever come across this variety of long and pointy acorns, make sure to pick as many as you can! Their shape is so different than the round acorns we’re used to seeing, their texture is smooth and shiny and their color is a beautiful blend of thin light and dark brown stripes.

It’s pumpkin season again – my favorite time of the year! Just as I do year round, I will bring a little piece of the season inside the house.

Rather than having multiple displays around the house, as I do for Christmas and Easter, I’d rather do one grand centerpiece in a central part of the house. Last year, I filled an oversized basket… Continue Reading
These cute little pumpkins of mine are one of a kind! They’re entirely covered with moss and look absolutely natural. A few twine strips run from top to bottom to form the ridges that give them a clear pumpkin shape. You can mix them with some natural pumpkins in a basket to give a rustic feel. Alternatively, combine them with… Continue Reading
If you would like a salad to go with all the flavors and colors of this time of year, this is the one to try! The crunchy and refreshing ingredients will compliment any meat or fish and even your Thanksgiving turkey.

Two days ago, as I was getting into my car from the super market, I noticed a small branch of magnolia lying by the car door. Any other normal person would have just left it there, or most probably not even noticed it, but I picked it up, and even looked around to make sure… Continue Reading
