Fall is my favorite time of year!
Dogwoods are showing the first blush of autumn color after a long, hot summer and FALL is in the air this week~ with lower humidity and night-time temperatures in the 50’s!
There will be plenty more hot weather for us in September and even October, but I’m primed for fall!
With the hint of fall in the air, I am ready for ALL things FALL~ fires, hoodies, blankets, picnics, and tailgates!
The promise of cooler temperatures has whet my appetite for apples, pumpkins & harvests~ so I pulled a few tablescapes from the archives.

Okay, my plans for the day just went out the window! I am so doing some fall decorating! Thanks always for the inspirations, you are beyond talented!
What a WONDERFUL thing to wake up to!!!!!!! I did miss one of these I think so am going back for more eye candy. I CAN have candy in the morning, right??:):) It is official, we HAVE A SIGNED CONTRACT on this house so now I can REALLY pack. Gotta get BUSY, only have 2 weeks. Thanks so much for revisiting ll this beauty you created for us. XOXO, Pinky
I couldn’t comment on the JEEP tailgating post so came back here. That was awesome! I LOVE THAT JEEP! Love the blue color but how YOU did it was amazing. I hope your (upset) hubby realizes what a LUCKY guy he is to have you! Loved every bit of that post. XO
I remember each post and am so glad to see them again. So many great ideas. I am so ready for fall!! xo marlis
Oh my goodness gracious!!! I just found your beautiful blog and can’t stop looking! I’m going through your back posts and relishing in your gorgeous projects, photos and arrangements.
I also live on the water, so I relate to the nautical. beach type decor.
I’ll be a regular visitor with you for certain!
Mary, what a feast for my fall/pumpkin loving eyes. Olive
Each and every one is a classic, Mary! I think my favorite was the one with the picnic in the back of the pickup….just perfect!!! If I had a truck, I’m sure I’d be driving to remote areas to just hang out and picnic from the back like that! Kinda hard to do it with a sedan! :-) It’s hot again here today. We hit the mid-90s yesterday and may do likewise today. Cooler temps moving in for the weekend, though. Hooray!!!
I love Fall! This was a wonderful post…sure got us in the mood.
So much fun to revisit past posts…Earmarked several to relish with a bit more time…Yep, Fall is definitely in the Air…even in Hawai’i!
This post is a feast for the eyes, Mary. You talent is amazing.
I am over the top happy that I got to re-visit your gorgeous posts…you capture Fall with such distinction of sheer beauty…Thanks so much Mary!!
Loved this post. Growing up in Virginia the Fall was my favorite season of the year and you have brought back the beauty of the fall to me with all y our most lovely pictures.
Love your site and have it emailed to me. It must be a joy being so close to the water.
Joyfully,
~Sylvia Faye
Gorgeous tablescapes, well worth revisiting! And, um, may I order one pumpkin cheese ball to go please… extra leaves:@)
Oh what fun these photos are. Love the presentation of the cheese ball? with crackers. You are getting me in the mood for Autumn!
Wow, what colorful tables you create, Mary! As always, your settings are so inspirational. That pumpkin cheese ball really caught my eye. I’m going back to check that out!!
Your cheese ball is prettier than SL’s for sure!
Love all of your pictures. And the pumpkins bring Fall into focus. I especially love the picture of the jeep with the quilt. Thanks for warming us up toward Fall.
So many great ideas and gives you that wonderful happiness that autumn is arriving! The tailgate in the back is one of my favorites! Your photos are always so beautiful. Thanks for the memories!
Thanks, Pam
I like each and every tablescape that you have created. Beautiful views too. It is so hard to pick a favorite, I love them all!…Christine
Mary, no one does it better. This post is full of fall inspiration. I’m going to start getting some fall elements out and about around here. After seeing all your fabulous images, I can’t wait any longer. Thank you for always providing a feast for the eyes. ~ Sarah
What Stunning Fall inspirations! I am going to have to come back for a second and third look! Beautiful!
Beautiful! I always love your pictures! The fall lake view is dreamy. Wish I were there.
I’ve just copy/pasted your url to my blog roll to follow there. Always love visiting you at the lake. I so so need a lake house. How do you like Lake Norman? I’ve checked out the Hickory area in search of the perfect lake town. We have a getaway in the Smoky Mountains and I think I need to switch to lake living. Love it and so will my crew (husband and doggies). Stop by sometime.
Cheers! Rita @May Days
So many gorgeous tablescapes! Thanks so much for sharing!
Such a pretty parade! LOVE the tailgate setup! You remind me what a cozy time fall can be. I’ve got to go find some little pumpkins!
So, so beautiful!!!
Sheesh you need to have your own magazine! These photos are so crisp ans clear and the tablescapes are out of this world! Please come link up to Centerpiece Wed and share all this eye candy with us!

WOWser!!..your photo’s are gorgeous
I am being dragged kicking and screaming into fall. As much as I love the colors, the season is so fleeting and our Midwest winters are way too long. I will admit to loving early fall, however, and your lovely photos exemplify everything positive about the season!
Mary, what a treat to revisit some of your fall tablescapes. Your photography always astounds me.
Wow! Gorgeous! Fabulous!
All gorgeous posts! Your centerpieces are a work of art…
Fabulous inspiration! Thanks for a recap of some of your always-memorable posts!
Hello, you often have such beautiful quilts as tableclothes. I would be afraid someone would spill. Are you brave or are these just pretend meals etc. Whatever the answer is I am loving them just the same. I look forward to your next tablescape. Lisa
Your creations are masterful.

Your photos and vignettes are awesome!
What a beautiful post! This has really gotten me in the mood for fall! So pretty!
Mary you always do an exceptional job decorating no matter what the season! Your tailgating photo looks like a magazine shot it is so professionally done. I love your pumpkin shaped cheese ball and all those lovely autumn hued flowers….every photo is so gorgeous!
You have so much talent, I see more and more with each and every post. Thanks for sharing, I love seeing posts from the past.
You have the most amazing eye for color and arrangement. You inspire me.
Hi Mary, I bookmarked this post so I can go back and explore every single table. I know I haven’t seen them all yet, and am looking forward to a nice long read! Today we are getting the mums and apples. I have not been in a fall mood, but I think these pictures are helping me! Linda
Everything is totally fabulous. You certainly have “the eye”!
Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
WOW, OH, WOW!!! franki
Beautiful, Mary! You are so artistic, loved seeing all of them again. That cake is making my mouth water!
Thanks for linking to Let’s Dish!
Visiting your blog is like an inspiration. Love ideas and beautiful tablescapes. Thanks for sharing. Have a great week!
It’s like a magazine shoot! Just so much to see. My favorite? The cheese ball with the autumn leaf crackers/cookies. Have a blast this fall!
I love the colors of Autumn! You’ve captured the season with these photos!
Your applesauce pear cake looks spectacular, Mary! Thank you for commenting on my warm pimento cheese dip. We were in Asheville on August 18th-23rd. I picked up the cookbook at the Tupelo Honey Cafe and put it back, too. However, once I got home, I regretted it and ordered it from Amazon. I’m going to be sharing more recipes from it.
Wow awesome tablescape!
Kim,USA
You make picnicking an art!!! I especially love the jeep since I drive one!! Mine has never looked that cute though!!!!
Mary, entering your blog is like opening the very BEST lifestyle magazine that money can buy! I lose myself in your wonderful photographs and dream of living in such a beautiful world as yours!
I love all the inspiration you showed here.
These beautiful scenes are wonderful!! There are such vibrant colors!
I need the whole morning to sit and pour over our beautiful fall tablescapes!
