A Rosy Note

An Outdoor Autumn Table

A pear surrounded by berries and hydrangea blossoms.
Hello sweet people.  How has your week been?  We’ve been experiencing the most beautiful, sunshiny weather around here. A glorious Indian summer.  I’ve been taking every possible chance to enjoy it while it lasts.  Today, for instance, I gathered up a few little tidbits with some autumnish flavor and set about creating an outdoor table setting.
An outdoor table topped with a german grain sack, pumpkin, pears and flowers.
At the center of it all were an old grain sack and this plump grey-green pumpkin.  I love its shape.  Does anyone know what variety it is?  I wish I knew.  Anyway, I just combined it with some red pears, hydrangeas and a few little berries from my crabapple tree.
 
I got a little help from Mother Nature.  It was nice and breezy while I was doing all my arranging.  Leaves were blowing every which way, floating down to my table…giving it a nice natural look.

I still need to do some indoor decorating, maybe I’ll focus on that next week…when it’s supposed to be raining.  Enjoy your weekend!

    Can I come and sit here? Calm my thoughts, soothe my soul, make myself feel a little peace in a tumultuous time. Beautiful images – every one.

    So so beautiful. The grey/green pumpkin is exactly the kind I want to get this year. I bought the peach ones with barnicle looking bumps on them last year from Trader Joes and this year I want to get the grey. They call them fairy pumpkins but I believe they are french pumpkins. The colors I want for the holidays is grey, white, natural, and black…October thru November.

    Oh wow, this is gorgeous! What a beautiful fall setting. Love every photo.
    And congrats on the magazine feature! Your photos are amazing and should be in magazines!

    Delightful arrangements and photos. Most pumpkins in Australia are blue/grey, there are several varieties commonly sold – for food. Seasonal decorating and halloween are not so much a part of life here.

    Wow, Tricia! All these lovely shots are so beautiful. LOVE it all. Love your weather too! Raining here and not one picture taken in days. Arggg

    Love the Lime Light Hydrandea! They are so pretty…love the gray/green pumpkin. Don't know the name just that they are heirloom.

    Beautiful post!

    Beautiful photos! Around here they are called cinderella pumpkins or fairy pumpkins – I get one every year, I just love them.

    Hi Tricia,
    I just found your blog on Feathered nest Friday. I just love your outside fall decor. The colors you have put together look beautiful! The pears, hydrangeas and the greenish pumpkin go so well together. I just found a pumpkin like that as well. I love it, such a neat color. Have a great day. Your newest follower,
    Rachel!

    Hasn't the weather been amazing. I'm finding it hard to get in the autumn mood. I'm sure by next week the weather will be back to normal and I'll be filled with autumn cheer.

    Hi Tricia! Ooooh this is so beautiful.. and warm.. and soft.. and just all-around the essence of autumn outside time! Love your images!! I like how you have combined the faded and pastel colors of the hydrangeas with the green pumpkin. yep, that is a cinderella.. I think it has to do with the short/width of the shape.. those are my faves! ♥

    Beautiful outdoor vignette, Tricia. We've had some gorgeous Fall days here too and it's hard NOT to go outside and take pics. I love the green pumpkin, I sorta go for the untraditional myself. Have a great weekend! 🙂

    What a gorgeous fall setting! I'm jealous you have fall foliage. I can't believe we don't see it yet here in New England.
    Thanks so much for your visit, and congratulations on your lovely photos in Somerset Life!
