Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice!

Woo-hoo...my favorite time of year is only 23 days away!   I started decorating last week and the farmhouse is decked out in autumn splendor.  Yesterday, I made a batch of pumpkin muffins.  The aroma coming from the oven reminded me of falling leaves, crisp breezes, and the delicious spices of autumn.  Why don't you join me for a cup of coffee and a yummy pumpkin muffin? My grandmother's buffet will serve as our coffee bar today. I love the warm tones of the wood in her buffet.  It's the perfect backdrop for autumnal decor.
Pumpkin is the flavor of the season!  I have three types of autumn inspired syrups for the coffee bar. Pumpkin caramel, pumpkin spice, and pumpkin cheesecake.  Don't they sound wonderful?! They are actually sugar free which is an added bonus! I am anxious to try the pumpkin cheesecake syrup.  I picked these up at Tuesday Morning a few weeks ago.  If you hurry, you may be able to pick up a set.
If you are in the mood for something more decadent, then please add a few dollops of my delicious homemade pumpkin creamer to your coffee!  It is my favorite way to add wonderful pumpkin flavor without having to visit a local coffee barista.  It's also easier on the wallet!
Of course, coffee is always better with a delicious muffin. These pumpkin muffins are the perfect compliment to a steamy cup of coffee.  The muffins are so good that it is hard to eat just one! I'll be sharing the recipes for the pumpkin muffins and the pumpkin creamer at Still Woods Farmhouse on Thursday.
Thanks for stopping by for coffee and muffins today! I hope to see you again this Thursday!

    Your buffet looks very festive, Lynda, I love it! I'm really looking forward to your pumpkin spice muffins. I'm looking for a recipe to make mini loaves for friends. Don't dare keep them in my house! lol!

      Hi Jane! The recipes are up today. Depending on how many mini loaves you are baking, you might want to double the recipe. I can promise you that they will love them! Have a great rest of the week. I am spending the day making tailgate food for the Mississippi State game!

      Thank you Lorraine! I just love fall...the colors are so pretty. Living this far south, we just don't get the beautiful foliage as other areas of the country. I am sharing the recipes from this post today, so hope you have a chance to pop back for a visit.

      Hi Jann,
      The muffins did smell wonderful. What's not to love about pumpkin and cinnamon baking in the oven?! I left the remainder of the muffins with my son and his two roommates. Hopefully, they polished them off by now!

A Trip Down Memory Lane

I had planned to share my new front door decor, but alas, like many residents of the MS Gulf Coast, all  loose outside objects have been secured as we await the arrival of Hurricane Isaac. Instead, I thought I would share with you a set of my favorite dinnerware.  I began collecting Memory Lane ironstone many years ago, but my love of the pattern began when I was just a little girl.  My Grandma Mercer had one dinner plate.  I imagine that she picked it up either in a box of laundry soap or as a reward for shopping at the IGA of Chattahoochee, Florida.  I came to love her one plate.  My grandmother would make sure that my food was served on that plate no matter what other dinnerware pattern was set on her table!  When she passed away, I was blessed to receive her dining room set which included a lovely buffet with glass knobs along with the matching table and chairs.  I also received my Memory Lane plate. During my search for more pattern pieces...

Quarantine Reno: The Butler's Pantry/Laundry Room

Good morning everyone! I wanted to share with you a major renovation which Mr. Still Woods and I accomplished during the quarantine. I have been feeling a huge push to simplify not only my life, but our home as well.  I started with reorganizing room by room and donating items we no longer use. After that was accomplished, I began thinking. My husband says that my thinking is always dangerous and usually means a lot of work for him! So let me tell you how this all started.  I have a large pantry in the kitchen with pull out drawers and deep shelves. While it holds tons of pantry items, I was always complaining because items tend to meander to the back of the shelves. When you need a flashlight to see what's in your pantry, you know its too large.  So I decided that I wanted to relocate our pantry into a free standing, shallow unit.  We sat down and drew up a plan we were both happy with.  As with most plans, our plan got altered along the way.  What was to ...

Patriotic Tablescapes

I was perusing the internet for a little 4th of July tablescape inspiration.  Wow...are there some wonderful ideas for any Yankee Doodle Dandy table.  Let's take a look! I love the blog Between Naps on the Porch.  She has a gift for setting a beautiful table.  This one is set with solids of red, white, and blue.  The tall lanterns also lend a patriotic flair and really make the setting cozy. I love the entire setting in this photo from The Gathering of Friends.  The house and yard phtograph beautifully.  Those red chairs really pop! Looks like a great place to entertain and watch fireworks. Tampa Homebody has incorporated some of my favorite glassware into her table setting.  American Fostoria and blue Cape Cod glass make this a festive display. Doesn't this make you want to pull up a chair?  The centerpiece is simple, but quite lovely.  I am crazy about checkered prints.  Super cute from Stone Gable! This is just prec...
