Seattle is beautiful in the fall. The leaves are beginning to change color and the air feels cool and crisp. I especially notice the change in the morning when I'm out walking my English Springers (the girls!) Before you know it, I'll be wearing gloves and a coat again!
Making subtle changes in my home at the beginning of each season is so fun! Today I removed my white flowers and replaced them with antique hydrangeas. Have you seen these at your local florist?

| My color palette is neutral. Adding a pop of color here and there makes it so easy to change the feel of a room. A green topiary will be perfect sitting next to these hydrangeas! These are easy to dry and store for the following year. |
While we are on the subject of fall.. today I am visiting my friend Tina over at The Enchanted Home for the start of her "a perfect fall day" series. I met Tina about a year ago (before starting my own blog) while she was building her dream home. I fell in love with her sense of style and home decor. She doesn't know this.. but my very first blog comment was on HER blog :) Also a fan of french decor, silver and blue and white porcelain, I was so excited when she opened her on-line store If you haven't visited.. head over!

Moving on.. I believe a good sense of humor is really important in life. That said, in honor of my birthday last week my friends offered up their best in funny cards. Here are a couple of my favorites..

| I'm SO glad they're not voting me off!! I received this wonderful cookbook and wanted to share it with you. The recipes are French bistro style and I enjoy the author's simple approach to preparing food. The author is Laura Washburn. Originally from America, she studied in France and now resides in London. |
