My favorite season, my favorite fall setting… dinner in the library with our first fire of Fall (and the last of the dahlias).

So thrilled that I still have some roses blooming I treated them to the ultimate compliment… showing them off in my 3 Wedgwood bud vases. Which is your favorite combo??

For this garden aficionado, no trip to Boston is complete without a visit to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum… and its stretch-to-the-sky atrium. One woman’s dream in 1904 was not only a 15th century-style pallazo, filled with art, but as importantly, an interior courtyard whose exotic and singular plantings change monthly. Treat yourself to a good read, “Chasing Beauty”, to enjoy the tale of this heiress, visionary, and philanthropist who was a Gilded Age phenomenon.
Scoot over to the blog for yummy images!

Getting in the mood! Fall and its wonderful russet tones are my favorite time of the year… and each year we give our front door display a different twist. I’m loving the funky greens mixed in with the chrysanthemums and the grasses. And I really shook things up with these RED babies atop the front courtyard urns!
