October is My Favorite Color!

  

It's been exactly 3 years and 9 months since I've been able to say I love our Army quarters.  
Don't get me wrong,  I'm grateful to have lived at Fort Myer but those quarters and I had no chemistry.

Nada.

But I love, love the new Quarters One!
(Which is actually Quarters 3 but you know the story...)

 This is the same 1930's floor plan that we lived in, with some variation, at Fort Benning and Fort Bragg. 

 Last fall I thought we might retire over the summer so I gave almost all of my faux fall decor to my daughter.
Even though that hasn't happened (yet) I didn't want to make purchases I had to keep around.

So when I came across a veggie stand full of these beauties...

I decided to fall into my favorite season keeping everything natural and simple. 

And I don't have to pack it up when Christmas rolls around!

These little white pumpkins are the best! They go with everything and just about every room gets one.

One of the few things I kept were pillow covers.  I'm pretty obsessed with pillows.

The foyer.

These heirloom pumpkins are perfect for the kitchen.

The crows made the cut, too. 

See them in last year's fall blog HERE.

We had our first guests for dinner...

Our gorgeous, fun friends,Vikki and Jeff.  

(They seriously look like Grace Kelly and Cary Grant!)

We served our dinner in small, Italian style courses:

Butternut Tarte and Prosecco 

Leek Soup

 White Bean and Fennel Salad

Shrimp and Grits

Ginger Snaps with Cream 

Wine

and then some more wine...

Keep up with us on Facebook and Instagram! 
Thanks for visiting our first post about the new

With Gratitude,
