Thanks for the Flowers

 

I am feeling much better and will return to work tomorrow. Thanks to all of you for keeping me in your thoughts and prayers.

I am certain that I will be exhausted tomorrow as my physician has informed me that it may take a couple weeks to be “normal” again. I am taking it slowly, day by day.

Though I do not like to be or feel ill, I am so appreciative of all the love I have received. From the delicious meals, to the gifts, to my visitors, and to the flower deliveries, I am one lucky guy. The smell of my home from the numerous flower arrangements is intoxicating.

You know I love fresh flowers, so here are the ones that I received in the last week.

Thanks to the Clement’s & Pearce’s.

Autumn Blop Hop {Uptown Acorn}

 

I was delighted to be asked to join such a talented group of ladies in the Autumn Blog Hop. I love decorating, and Fall decorating is one of my favorite times of the year.

Though I have not decorated for the season yet, I have a lot of Fall faves to share with each and every one of you. I hope you will follow along. I have lots of photos, so grab your cup of coffee or tea and spend the day with me.

I loved the Fall season while living in Atlanta. Living here in New Orleans, the season of Fall and the changes it brings are not as drastic. I will share both my Atlanta and New Orleans Fall faves today.

My five must haves each and every Fall include…

1. Pumpkins, acorns, and feathers.

I love using natural objects to bring the outside in. What would the Uptown Acorn be without the acorn? Right?

2. Antlers.

Natural sheds bring the rustic, natural touch to my spaces. I love using my antler-handled silverware for dinner.

3. Entertaining.

Since Fall is one of my favorite seasons, I love to throw an Open House or Supper Club for close friends. My “It’s Fall y’all” soirees have always been a hit. I like using pumpkins and gourds as bases for fresh arrangements.

4. Serveware.

At this time of year, I enjoy using my Vagabond House serveware. While living in Atlanta, I collected or was gifted many pieces from my favorite shoppes, Boxwoods & B.D. Jeffries.

5. Fall arrangements.

I love to create arrangements, so it is no secret that Fall is one of my favorite times to construct wreaths and tablescapes. The colors of Fall blend into any decor. Check out more of my custom botanicals at The Acorn at Wisteria Hill.

Cornucopia by Trimmings
