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!

    1. 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!

    1. 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.

    1. 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, I found out that Memory Lane is consi

Fun Fall Door Decor

I am ready for the heat of summer to be over and the cool breezes of fall to head our way.  My sister called me the other day and said she wanted to pull out her autumn decorations and to that I say "Amen, Sista"! We both can't wait to say, "Happy Fall Ya'll"!! In the meantime, I need to update my fall door decor and have been looking for a few, fresh ideas.  Better Homes and Gardens had some wonderful fall wreath ideas.  I adore this unusual "wreath" made from a rake. Who said a wreath must be round? Etsy and Pinterest have an abundance of wreath ideas including several swags to use on your harvest door. Another cute idea from Better Homes and Gardens. It makes me think of  warm apple crisp topped with a dollop of whipped cream!   Yum!  Or how about those wonderfully apple scented candles?  Love those! Monograms are all the rage.  I think this would be a simple wreath to make.  Raise your hand if you like simple projects! Super cu

Thanksgiving Dinnerware to Grace Any Table

Southern Living recently published an article entitled "Turkey Plate Special" chronicling the origins of certain patterns.  Who knew that when Abraham Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a national holiday in 1863, we would end up with beautiful transferware patterns honoring the official bird of Thanksgiving?  I was excited to see my pattern, "His Majesty" by Johnson Brothers in the article.  We lovingly call these our Traveling Turkey Dishes.  Click  here  to find out why! I set our Reading Room   table with His Majesty for a quick peek at this beautiful pattern.  I love my "Traveling Turkey Dishes".  It is a joy to get them out and use them throughout November.  I also love this old table.  It has the scars of a well lived life and reminds me so much of my sweet grandmother who loved it as much as I do. A close up of His Majesty shows the lovely colors of the season.  I don't own the turkey platter, but it is on my wish list! (Replacements) Anot
