Cottage decor for Autumn . . . . .

Autumn is a second Spring when every leaf is a flower

~ Albert Camus

Autumn touches inside the cottage are quite minimal. 

Although we've no overseas travel planned to take us away 
this Fall, I just want to keep things simple.

I've saved and dried the two largest sunflower heads from 
the garden, complete with their seeds intact. They are really 
so beautiful. I had to cut them from their five foot stalks 
before the squirrels or birds made a meal of them.
Perhaps I'll sow these seeds next Spring and the cycle 
will be repeated - I like that thought.

These dainty 'stripeys' will become dessert later! 

I'll tell you how in an upcoming post on cooking squash 

and pumpkin.

I'm using two of the grey-green pumpkins here in the 

antique French dough bowl on the dining room table - they

blend well with those great spools of linen thread.

That's it for now - but I may do something floral when I find

the right blooms, something loose, wild, with berries and 

leaves, perhaps a walk in the country, through the fields, 

along the hedgerows is required. 

Have you done any interior decorating for Autumn yet?
