a simple Fall pleasure, when living in design transition and renovation...

hello to Wednesday!

(this is my second attempt at this post...not sure what happened,

i'll just say "the Google" ate my first one.

so...let's try one more time!)

two weeks ago my kitchen counter was neat and tidy.

that lasted about three days.

here is a SNAP of the kitchen counter this morning.

our dining room table was clear...

i spy a perfect pumpkin...

 ... now it's in a holding pattern.

most of my cookbooks are stacked atop a washstand that is temporarily in

THE MIDDLE OF THE LIVING ROOM.
i am planning to recover the books that clash with the color story
in the kitchen.

i was inspired by this photo on Pinterest.

in the midst of all of the reshuffling and sort of organized chaos is a pretty candle.
Donna made it! {i love it}. it sits on my desk, now, temporarily in the dining room, next to my laptop.

she is brilliant at creating the special touches that she tucks into her packages!

a perfect example, above, two little book page leaves, attached together, knotted with twine.

i wrapped them around the stem of her candle goblet. 

Voila!

 an instant FALL RETREAT... that simple pleasure!


whoops! it's time to blow out the candle and headed off to work.
have a perfect FALL day!
