Blush for Autumn

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Good Morning Everyone,


Goodness, Halloween is next week and I have begun my holiday list review. It dawned on me this morning that I have to start preparing for Thanksgiving. 


I like to start my turkey shopping as soon as possible. The brand that I like to buy usually sales out pretty quickly here in Indy. 


Yesterday morning, I attended the Coffee Classic Series at the symphony. The performance was called Mozart’s Concerto for a King. The program started at 11:00 a.m. so I took an hour of leave and attended the performance. It was lovely. I really enjoyed having a morning symphony. It eased my mind and I was completely relaxed. I look forward to attending more morning symphonies. 


I wanted to end the week with these beautiful photos of autumn decor from Victoria Magazine. Autumn decor is usually brown’s, yellow’s and orange’s. But I really like how these pastel colors were tastefully done.

I adore this look. The pumpkins are the perfect mauve color and I love the gourds and weathered lanterns. But I would be worried about my dogs picking up the pumpkins and chewing on them.

Don’t you just love the vintage linens? I am on the look-out for a vintage table linen for home. I have not found one yet but will keep my eyes open. The vintage books are a nice touch and so is the candlelight.

 These are gorgeous! I love the botanical greenery and the hydrangea blossoms. The dusty pink pumpkins are a perfect fit in this window box. To read the original article you may see it here.


I hope you all have a great weekend. I will try to upload a video this weekend. I am just trying to figure out what I want it to be about. Enjoy your weekend!

    Good morning Mrs. Shockley,
    A morning symphony sounds amazing. I am still hopeful that my town's symphony will do things like coffee symphony or the one you have mentioned that you go to in June. Seems so lovely. I have 2 questions: 1. Do you shop online for your holiday season? 2. Would you be open to sharing or doing a blog on how you plan for Thanksgiving? This is my first year hosting Thanksgiving. There will be 5 guests coming, possibly a few more. My sister usually hosts, but this year we are doing things a bit different. And I'm so nervous.
    Can't wait for the weekend video!

      Hello Mya,
      The morning symphony was great! I really enjoyed it! To answer your questions, yes I do shop online. I am open to sharing how I prepare for Thanksgiving. That maybe my next video. Thank you for the idea. I am sure you will do just fine Mya. Once I hosted my first Thanksgiving I realized that people just want to enjoy themselves. That is all. Keep it simple and all will go well.
