Fall Bliss

This morning I woke up earlier than the boys,

snuggled up on the couch

 with toasted banana bread and fresh coffee,

and read through my newest issue of this.

It made me feel like fall was really here,

even though it's still a few weeks away.

I get so antsy for fall's arrival.

Perhaps it's because we have to be extra patient,

waiting for it here in TX,

but I just love the colors, the scents, the recipes, the foliage,

and the fact that fall brings the beginning of the holiday seasons!

I am slowly pulling things out of my "fall box" to decorate around the house.

Here are some of my favorite pins on my "seasonal bliss" board over at Pinterest.

And my favorite article in the newest Martha Stewart living?

It's all about the gingham.

what are your thoughts on gingham? i totally love it. 

Happy Friday!

I hope you all have a blessed weekend full of fall bliss!
