Pumpkin Fields Forever
Looks like a good harvest, doesn't it?
I wonder if this is a pick your own pumpkin field?
Hope so. They are just begging to become jackolanterns.

Yew Tree Farm, Cumbria UK
Yew Tree Farm, Lake District, England by Aidan Mincher When you see photos like this, it's easy to see why Beatrix Potter was drawn to this part of England in her later years. In 1929, when Beatrix Potter was 64 years old, the Monk Coniston estate came up for sale. The estate consisted of 2500 acres of land around the head of Coniston Water. It consisted of the well-known beauty spot Tarn Hows, seven farms including Yew Tree, Boon Crag, High Arnside, High Tilberthwaite and High Yewdale, as well as cottages, quarries and open fell land. She sold the half containing Tarn Hows to the National Trust, and bequeathed the rest of the estate to the Trust in her will. Read more here.

Cats Wearing White Collars (Ruffs)
Marie Cécile Thijs - White Collar Series
CATS WEARING AN ANTIQUE ELIZABETHAN RUFF
CATS WEARING AN ANTIQUE ELIZABETHAN RUFF
'White Collar' is one of the newest autonomous photo projects of Marie Cécile Thijs, which she started in 2010. The models are wearing a 17th-century antique ruff collar that belongs to the collection of the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Because this collar is so delicate and rare, it was photographed by Marie Cécile Thijs separately in the Rijksmuseum and placed afterwards on her models by way of digital imaging.
She used human models too. See all of these fabulous images here. See all 14 images here.

Shedding Light on the Old Stairs
I love this photo. The patina on these old stairs is so beautiful since they have never been painted. My trees are still green because it's been so warm but I am looking forward to fall color soon. via

Path of Pebbles and Brick
This path makes my heart sing! It is so charming and old fashioned. It has stood the test of time and has aged beautifully within this lovely walled garden. Do want! via

Sorting The Pumpkins
via
I passed a pumpkin patch near my cottage recently but it was nothing like this. The pumpkins were picked and put into HUGE boxes for transporting to a local farm market. I like this arrangement better where they are being sorted and sold on site. Have you purchased your pumpkins yet? Enjoy the long Columbus Day weekend. xo

Stunning Dutch Door w/ Screen Door
Look at this! I have never loved a door more! I have never seen one flanked by double hung windows. The brass box lock and the strap hinges are nice period details. via
Ticking Slipcovers
I have always been a fan of blue and white stripped ticking. These dining room chairs look so nice in this fabric but it must have been an expensive project unless the owner sewed them herself. They would look better around a larger table or as stand alone chairs somewhere else. via
Can you believe it's October already? I have always said that the summer drags by and after Labor Day the days fly by and all of a sudden it's Christmas. See what I mean? It's true, so start getting ready! Smile.

Quirky Buildings in Paris
Photo by Dawne Polis
Where there's a will, there's a way. Somehow these two buildings got squeezed in and they are are all the more charming because they are not ordinary.
Gorgeous House and Setting
Simply wonderful house in the perfect setting. The addition on the right would be perfect for me. Have a great weekend. via

Screen Door Love
The time has come to take down the screen door and put up the storm door in my area but it's nearly summer in Australia. I love the way the this one matches the panels in the solid door. So nice. I don't think I have ever seen mint green as a front door paint color but it looks very nice here. via
Have a great weekend.

Laundry Room, Dog Bath, Dog Bed
This laundry room has it all. A place to bathe the dog or rinse off your muddy boots, a place for the dog to nap, and stacking full-size washer and dryer. So nice. via
Laundry Room Design: Neat and Tidy
A simple rearrangement of task areas takes advantage of vertical space to make cleanup easier for both two- and four-legged family members

Great Living Room, Nice Floors
I like this cozy setting around the fireplace flanked by French doors. The bookcase is perfect and I love these floors! via
Ivy and Brick in Charleston SC
I love this photo, especially the brick entrance walls topped with pineapple finials. The ironwork is lovely too as is the ivy on the townhouse. via

Lovely Hallway
I like it all. The painted floor, the high ceiling, the shiplap wall, the glazed door and the room beside. via

This charming Greek Revival cottage is located in Warren County, North Carolina. Somehow these cottages keep finding me so I can share them with you!
