FALL SPLENDOR...



What better way to decorate for fall than to bring it's natural splendor indoors...

Here at StoneGable,  I am filling bowls and lining shelves with fabulous fall offerings...


The antique tool caddy sits on my kitchen island filled with various pumpkins and corn and berries!




I have "my sources" for inexpensive pumpkins... and each year I make the rounds choosing pumpkins for all the nooks and crannies at StoneGable.





This year, our Pyracantha bush is dripping with berries. I could not resist bringing some inside too!




Bringing all the beautiful fall elements together in a chippy box makes a big splash of seasonal splendor in my kitchen!

  1. What beautiful arrangements you share with us; you spoil us♥
    I so wish that white pumpkins could be found in the UK, oh! and those sweet, small ones with the yellow stripe are just darling. As for multi coloured corn, I'm slowly turning pea green!
    I live my life vicariously these days through the wonderful Autumn and Fall blogs I follow from my friends Across the Pond . . with gratitude I send you Autumn Blessings

  3. Yvonne,
    I love your kitchen and all of your naturals.
    I have a question, if you don't mind. How do you treat your soapstone? Yours has much more of a shine than mine. I got mine from Vermont soapstone and I oil it as recommended, but it does not shine like yours.

    1. I use mineral oil and give it a good oiling once a month. It will get a little dull as I use it and clean it with soap and water... but that's just part of its beauty!

  5. I love using the real thing when I can but with the droughts we've had here in the Midwest, pumpkins and gourds are slim pickin's and those you can get are pretty pricey. :( I have never heard of your berry bush but I'll have to check it out....lovely, lovely colors!
    p.s. I'm still on the search for a wooden tool caddy like yours ;)

  8. Good morning Yvonne, lovely lovely kitchen and fall decor. We just remodeled our kitchen and I actually showed my husband pictures of your kitchen for some inspiration. He's good if he sees something...so I wanted him to get a general idea of the look I was leaning towards. It turned out wonderful and I'm so happy to have a new looking kitchen. Hope your weekend is very blessed!

  19. What a beautiful splash of Fall colour in the kitchen. Today I am working on bringing 'nature' in.. still pretty warm here in North Central Florida, the weather is still clinging to the last of summer.
    Have a wonderful weekend.
    Cheers, Gee

  20. Your beautiful white cabinets and island are the perfect background for all that pretty fall color. The pyracantha berries are lovely in that white pitcher. Isn't it fun to decorate for fall? I love the colors of fall that I would not usually like that much but they are so gorgeous at this season. Have a great weekend. ------------ Shannon ( formerly from Cozy Home Scenes)

  25. Yvonne, What a gorgeous array of fall colors you've gathered together. I agree... the most beautiful arrangements are those created organically. There's no other that can represent fall better than mother nature herself.

    Sweet wishes,

  36. Loving those little white Baby Boo Pumpkins this season Yvonne, so cute:)

    ReplyDelete
  37. Absolute splendor!!! I love it! Pumpkins here are a little pricier this year. Not sure if that's because of the summer drought or what. They all look good...they just have a higher price tag than usual. That hasn't stopped me from tossing a few around here and there, though! :-) Maybe I need to try to grow some next year on my own!
