Hello and happy Monday to you! And how was your weekend? Ours was fun, and quite relaxing. Dinner with friends, got to see the movie, Rush…which I have to say was quite good, that it was a true story made it even better.I am disappointed I listened to the weather “experts” and didn’t go to Vermont as planned, as it turned out so beautiful….bummer!<\/p>\n

 We have been having such beautiful weather lately…its slowly starting to get a little cooler every day and the foliage is just now starting to turn every so slightly. I am so loving my favorite time of year and seeing the tiny little glimpses of what is to come, nothing to me can beat the month of October.  I was out in the Hamptons recently and it was such fun being out there in the “off season”……of course I took my camera with me and thought it would be fun to share some of what I saw and enjoyed while out there, as well as a few “souvenirs”  that came home with me. I had fun adding small festive fall touches around the house and finished my outside urns too. So here we go…..<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

 I think you are never too old to enjoy and marvel at a real life pumpkin patch….what do you think?<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
 One of my favorite nurseries out east, I never visit without a stop here!<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
A beautiful vignette so alive with rich color…..love the way the white pumpkins set it off!<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
 Thought this setup was so pretty and festive, love the white pumpkins, one came with me to join my pumpkin family:)<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
 This beauty came home with me…the biggest chrysanthemum plant I have ever seen, it measures 36″ across!!!!!!!<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
And bought more baby cabbages….love these, they are so decorative!<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
 Fresh orchid delivery at my favorite nursery<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
 This enormous pumpkin was bought at auction and weighs over 450 lbs!!!<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
 Freshly delivered pumpkins waiting to be displayed….<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

At every turn, there was something worth taking a picture of at one of my other favorite farm stands…<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
Pumpkins of every color and size…..<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
And the fresh veges were still in abundance……<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
Then onto a pumpkin farm……<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
 This monster of a pumpkin weighed in at about 180 lbs!<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

 This is typical for how my car looks when I am finally heading home, it is chock full with not a single inch to spare!<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

So back at home……<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

  I filled my large dough bowl with a bunch of falls gifts and put it on my kitchen island…….<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 White pumpkins can be placed just about anywhere and look fabulous!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

 This orchid is on its way out (lasted a good 5 months) and have a beautiful new one to replace it with…on my agenda today!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

 And even tiny little touches in a powder room….<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And put the finishing touches on my outdoor urns….understated but elegant <\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

 You cannot fully appreciate just how huge this chrysanthemum   is but its a whopping 37″ inches across! See it doesn’t take much to excite me:)<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
 Put by the front side door in a large planter<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
By the way…confession, some of those pumpkins on my doorstep are not real. I mix in the old with the new, when mixed in you really cannot tell and I love being able to reuse them every year! Thanks for stopping in and wishing you a wonderful day and start to your week!<\/span><\/div>\n
