Seasons for All at Home

Autumn is in the Details ~ Acorns & Oak Leaves

The season's icons are finding their way into the decor.  Consider these lovely ways to feature acorns and oak leaves.

Simple and elegant, use just a couple of acorns to add a little embellishment to something that's used every day.  This bookmark is simple and beautiful!  Add a couple of oak leaves to the cover of the book to complete the theme.

Or feature them in a traditional wreath highlighting their warm hues with a ribbon in a complimentary color. 

  

Ah, the season's icons.  Mother Nature's souvenirs.  Enjoy!

Inspirational Photographs ~ Veranda Magazine Covers

The July-August 2009 issue of Veranda arrived in my mailbox today and I had to catch my breath when I saw the cover photograph.  This publication continues to amaze me.  In addition to the quality of the content inside each issue, the starkly plain cover design is refreshing.  A stunning photograph and the magazine's name at the top.  No other print ever appears on the cover.  What a great brand identity.

Last year's garden cover was a photograph of Monet's garden.  I've always loved Monet and learned after I chose him as my favorite all time painter that he and I have the same birthday, November 14.  I love this cover, too.

And here is the cover from July August 2007.

Thank you, Veranda!
