~Fall Orange Wreath and Simple & Sweet Fridays #242~

I love drying citrus slices for Fall arrangements!

I dried oranges, limes and lemons.

I used our Nesco dehydrator.

You can use it for apples, pineapples, etc.

After the oranges were dried, I used a small gauge wire and bent it around the oranges to make a hoop.

I have a pretty crystal wreath,

 we bought at Smith & Hawkins awhile back.

I hooked the wired oranges onto the wreath.

I ended up placing it over our mantel,

 where a mirror is hanging.

It looks so pretty with lights on it.

Sparkle everywhere!!

Stan planted more pumpkins about 6 weeks ago.

We have new ones coming up!!

A new Fall pumpkin patch!

These are some of the ones,

 we grew earlier this year.

Roses are still flourishing in San Diego!

A glass of wine with some fried zucchini from the garden for an appetizer!!

Aren't these pumpkins the cutest!!

Trader Joe's!!

So good!

Romantic Table Setting and Simple & Sweet Fridays #182~

I was shopping one day at a gift stop and spotted these beautiful paper placemats.

I knew I had to have them.

They are so unique.

Photographer, blogger, artist, and stylist Erin Gleeson combines food, flowers, watercolors, and vintage tableware to evoke the ease and festivity of her cabin in the Northern California woods.

They are, "The Forest Feast Paper Placemats".

They are the prettiest paper placemats I've seen.

 I found some pretty antique stock flowers at Trader Joe's.

They were just the color I wanted,

Peach.

I also added a embroidered tablecloth for underneath and some of my mother's pearls and fresh pink roses.

I used our Royal Albert China,

 New Country Rose Plates.

It added more to the vintage look I wanted.

In need of a table setting fast,

these paper placemats are your solution.

Every girl loves her pearls and

French Macarons!

For a quick table setting,

Paper Placemats are your answer.

How Romantic is this!
