Fall Apples

Sitting on top a vintage mirror
sits my fall apple kitchen centerpiece ~
a chippy old basket lined with red checked napkins
holding a bounty of glittery apples ......

Of course, there had to be freshly baked
chocolate chip cookies
to celebrate....
Peak past the basket
hydrangeas are drying nicely from summer
vintage needlepoint
and a lovely pillow from Petit Coterie
rest on a handpainted bench used to stay toasty
near my 213 year old kitchen fireplace...

ENJOY
