Autumn Arrivals

Whether we want to admit it or not Autumn is on it's way.  Driving to The Summer House today I noticed several trees are turning into those spectacular jewel tones.  The rural setting and the light rain makes me want to curl up on a comfy sofa with a good book, a soft throw, and a bottle of vino.

Today, we had some wonderful new arrivals at the store.  After some rearranging and a lot of unpacking, we are thrilled about the new boxwood topiaries, mohair throws, and wicker baskets.

We can think of so many ideas for this vintage airplane propeller.

Wicker baskets that roll make storage a little easier.

 Two sizes of wicker trays.  I can see this filled with a wheat sheath to make an amazing autumn piece for your coffee table.

These mohair throws are so cozy for that in between fall weather.  I especially love the colors and how lavender and grey play off each other so well.

After a long day at The Summer House, Kathleen and I sat down and started to read Contemporary Living with Antiques.  We were drawn to this book because it has a similar design philosophy to us which is keep it simple, but add in a few powerful pieces.  We are drawing major inspiration from this book and even though we're selling it, we're keeping one behind the counter for us!
