Autumn has finally arrived I believe here on the East coast, as you can see from my sweater.... finally!!! That is one thing about the fall and winter months I like, SWEATERS!!!!!! Of course, that will also bring some fall touches to the Casa du Borghese.......
In the living room, this year I choose to go with real dried branches of various trees, with the colors of the leaves being so vibrant this year. I also added in some Witch Hazel blooms......
Yes......I'm still 6 years old.......
This metal star was actually a finial of a old building I found at a architectural salvage shop. It was converted into a candle holder, and makes a very cool design around the room when lit......

Finishing out the bookcase are my favorite pieces of pottery, and glass vases along with a huge hurricane and one of my signs of me being around.......peacock feathers!!!
In the kitchen, on this cabinet, which does not house china, but my bar, is a real pumpkin, along with favorite urn and vase.... along with dried berry branches, cat tails, and yellow Witch Hazel. Matilda, my black crow, sits on the ceramic pumpkin!!!!!
In the apothecary's jar this season are a variety of gourds, dried pomegranates, pods, acorns, and a bunch of dried leaves, with seed stems and dried orange slices......
whilst these two keep a watchful eye on the birds..........

The Victorian birdcage I found last year now has a small topiary in it along with another jack o lantern.....
Have you yet noticed all the candles???? I have already stock up. As a regular reader might know I'm a huge candle whore!!!! I'll take candle light over real light any night. On any given night, it looks like a seance is taking place with upwards of 20 or more candles. Nice to know I'm not the only thing lit!!!!!!
This dear head still keeps a watchful eye. Still bothers the Lad when he is here. I have no idea why? His head is usually facing the head board anyway.
Meanwhile more candles and another fall foliage arrangement of some really cool finds......

One of my favorite things at night, if one of my suitors isn't here.. is curling up and cocooning in my favorite tapestry throw......
......and it's definitely that time of year for my favorite bedtime stiffener of ginger liqueur......
Cheers darlings to a swell Autumn!!!!!!
"His head is usually facing the head board anyway." - bwhahahaha! hope you and the lad had a bangin' weekend!
ReplyDeletethis is the time of year when my hand-made sweaters are oh so warm!
I heard the neighbors were complaining ......I hear they thought two rapid cats were mating.
DeleteLOL!
Delete"As a regular reader might know I'm a huge candle whore!!!!" LOL! I can't stop laughing after reading that!
ReplyDeleteI know what you meant, but no. I can't stop laughing!
ReplyDeleteI can see your "mellow fruitfulness" through those jeans.
ReplyDeleteCheers to ginger liqueur stiffeners! Jx
And I hear his "mellow fruitfulness" is anything but.
Deletemellow fruitfulness? is that like a Mellow Yellow?
DeleteDoes look rather fruitful does it?
DeleteIf it wasn't for your blog and tasteful decorating, I'd have no idea what time of year it was
ReplyDeleteWow!!!!! I could feel right at home in your comfy home! So warm and inviting. Some great ideas.
ReplyDeleteLove all your decorations for fall. Not to mention the candles! Great pics. :)
ReplyDeleteWhy look who is in this neck of the wood!! Welcome Amanda, thanks for stopping by!!
DeleteMistress, that candelabra is stunning in your table!!! And if I may, where ever did you find the deer head? It adds such a whimsical feel. I adore fall......
ReplyDeleteWhen I found it, I couldn't resist it. It from a company called Patina based out of Minneapolis.
Deletetell you, you have one welcoming home!!! I absolutely love your style. I don't have the knack of seasonal decorating so I enjoyed seeing yours. Now how about some of that stiffner, wink!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think you've had enough stiffener
Deletevery warm and cozy :-)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the mix of styles here and loving the outdoors in.....with the leaves. And those blacks cats are so cute!
ReplyDeleteThe Casa always looks so warm and inviting, but one just must watch how much Aqua Net they use.
ReplyDeleteMISTRESS, I just love your place as always! These photos really capture the essence of the fall perfectly. And I too am glad it's sweater season.
ReplyDeleteAll your arrangements with the leaves and natural elements are absolutely nice. In fact, I get inspiration from your photos of you home and the post of your clothing. And I love the mix of all the glass and pottery vases together. Your place just has plain good taste.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful abode Mistress. Love the fall touches and that cabinet as a bar is genius!!!!!
ReplyDeleteVa-Va Voom! Love your apartment!!!! The photos are wonderful! And I'm liking the jeans too! Who makes them can I ask?
ReplyDeleteThe jeans are Hudson's

DeleteAutumnal splendour reigns at your home!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous; all of it.
ReplyDeleteAnd who NEEDS a china cabinet? I say every cabinet should house the hooch!
Your home is so warm and comfortable!!!! I love it all, when can I move in?
ReplyDeleteMy favorite? The fall touches, the beautiful liquor cabinet, and that bottle of ginger liqueur.
ReplyDeleteAll stunning ad always!!! I went out for a pumpkin myself for the little monsters when they come to trick or treat this year. I really like the vignette on the dresser!
ReplyDeleteWolf whistle!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the displays that you put together, cocooning and tapestry throws? Yes please and of course you need those nights to keep your strength up.
Come fall and winter......im all about the cocooning and warm throws.....and just a warming cordial for good measure.
DeleteLooks like the perfect place to be at night with all that warm candle light! And I haven't seen one of those plug in figurines in ages!!!! Love it.
ReplyDeleteAfter seeing you beautiful place, I can see why you do for a living what you do at work. Good with fashion, and interiors. Looking good for fall yourself from above!!!
