I’m finally ready to welcome you.
Celebrating with quilts and peppermint tea, quiet evenings listening to Adele. Leaf collecting has officially begun. Pumpkin muffins on this week’s agenda.
So, pull up a chair and tell me: what are your favorite fall rituals? Who’s playing on your stereo these days?

I like writing, photography, reading, music, design, typography, paper products, days in the seventies and sparkly snow, Spanish wine and cans of PBR. I spent a year in Córdoba, Spain, working as a language and culture assistant through the Spanish government, traveling, and writing about it here. After a few years back in my home state of Montana, I moved to Austin, Texas, where I like to go exploring, take pictures of my food, write letters, dream of far-off places, and think about concepts of home.
I love this picture. It’s always hard to make time for Fall before Halloween. I hate to let go of Summer, so I put off putting out the Fall-colored table linens, candles and windsock. But as you said, once one accepts that Fall is upon us, it’s nice to usher in the season by decorating for it. Two weeks of calm, quiet Fall before the crazy holidays – Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas – are upon us.
YAY for Fall! I love this photo — and I second the mint tea and Adele. Sounds a lot like my work room these days. 😉 Did you find a good pumpkin muffin recipe? That sounds delicious.
