As the name of my blog indicates, I spend a lot of time thinking about home. Of course, my Heavenly Home is the one that is eternal, so that’s where I need to lay up my treasures, and that’s the one I’m striving for. But in the meantime, I have been given this tiny piece of the here-and-now—this home on the edge of town, this family, this neighborhood—in which to serve Him. And, though this is in the earthly realm, I want the things that happen here to be investments in the Heavenly realm.

Hello, Autumn!


I am an autumn girl in my heart of hearts. And yet, although I have been thinking autumn for weeks, September began without so much as the scent of a pumpkin candle around here! I s-l-o-w-l-y added an autumn touch here and there, we went to the farm stand for some seasonal bounty, and now (finally!) autumn is here in my world!  Ahhhhhh...

 ~Pin~


Feel free to take a peek around my nooks and crannies...


















Yes, it's my favorite time of year...full of candlelight, rich color, spicy scents, and cooler air.
(Spicy crumb cake with raisins only adds to the pleasure...and makes the house smell sooooo  good!)


What's your favorite thing about autumn?

    Today is a very nearly perfect autumn day so I have been scouting for bittersweet. I found some, but most of it is too green stll.

    Your home looks so perfectly autumn. Something about prim lends itself beautifully to autumn decor. Had to snag something for my autumn folder on Pinterest.

    I really love the look of your home and how welcoming it looks. My favorite thing...a little cooler weather and the different angle of the sunshine.

    For me, it's a tie between the fall weather and fall smells. :-)

    ah, a kindred spirit. Fall is my favorite time of the year. Your home looks very warm and cozy with all the fall touches. I baked a bit today, but that crumb cake is making me want to bake one right now!

    oh, yes, Autumn is my favorite time of year! You have a beautiful and welcoming style of decorating. I love the way you create simple vignettes that pack a punch.
    After a weekend of fall camping, I'm ready to finish up our fall decorating, thank you for the inspiration!
