“Let your home be seasonal, with its colors and sights and scents revolving as the earth does through her primeval passages.”…Victoria Moran | Shelter for the Spirit

I attended the first of many autumn festivals last weekend and was inspired to begin getting my home into the autumnal spirit. It’s time to transition from the cool and breezy décor of summer and start to warm up my home with rich warm colors and texture.

We don’t have to look much farther than Mother Nature to find our decorating and entertaining cues. Nature is our perfect muse when it comes to autumnal décor.  The rich, warm colors and the rustic and imperfect textures add to the inviting, engaging and cozy style of decorating, living and entertaining that embodies this time of year.

As I browse through the books in my library and the bookstores, I’m intrigued by the number of great books on decorating, entertaining and cooking that celebrate the seasons by arranging the book in chronological and seasonal order. Using foods and elements that are seasonal gives a wonderful and fresh nod to nature that seems to be resonating with so many people today.

Celebrating the seasons allows us to observe and appreciate nature, and is a healing balm in this busy, high tech electronic world.

I saw these gourds at the festival and was reminded to not take life so seriously. We have so much to learn from nature… it teaches us to have a sense of humor and to embrace the whimsical, the uniqueness and one-of-a-kind qualities that we find everywhere in nature.

So, this autumn season give a nod to mother earth… gather with friends and family… and celebrate with all your senses!
