Making Autumn-in-September Memories

Holy smokes. I don't know how it's been around your house, but around here it has been busier than a swarm of bees.

Last weekend there wasn't even a spare second to sit and think much.

We had a birthday party, out-of-state guests, a visit with an elderly aunt and a class reunion breakfast, all rolled into a couple of days. Whew!

Loved setting an autumn table for breakfast.

The fall faux leaf wreath is up again, too, to welcome visitors.

While having a busy schedule does make one a little frantic, it's also wonderful for making precious memories!

DO YOU LIKE TO ENTERTAIN?

Dayle ~ A Collection of Days said...: Sounds like a very busy time, Susan. Don't forget to make time to rest. :)

I would entertain more if The Man was a bit more into the whole idea. He's never been a social butterfly, although he does enjoy family gatherings. I guess we can call that entertaining, too.; September 16, 2014 at 10:32 PM

marianne said...: Beautiful Autumnal table and I'm sure the breakfast was scrumptious too. Lucky guests. Sounds like a very busy but fun weekend.

I do like to entertain and do so quite frequently. It is a lot of work, but the fun of it is definitely worth it. Sounds like you agree.; September 17, 2014 at 11:11 AM
SImple and Serene Living said...: Your table is lovely. It does seem like things get really bust this time of year. I'm trying to drag out the fall decor and see what I want to keep. xo Laura; September 17, 2014 at 11:36 AM

Red Rose Alley said...: Your Autumn table is so festive and pretty, Susan. I really like the red glasses. It's starting to feel like Fall around here. Yes, I like to entertain, but there's nothing like a quiet night home with your loved one.

Have a sweet September week.

love,

Your table looks so pretty! I've always admired your plate pattern, is it called Country Roses? I have the cups and saucers but that is it.
Have a great day!
