Small Town Love | At the Corner of Cochrane & McDonald Streets


I just can't get enough of fall colors!

While running errands in a small town call Port Perry the other day, I passed by Cochrane street {where hubby and I love to brisk walk in the summer time} to check on the maple trees that adorn those gorgeous century houses in that part of town. True enough, the trees are in their full splendor!


Truly ...... "Autumn is the second spring where every leaf is a flower".

Change of Colors at Birdsong



The summer flowers have withered and the sudden drop in temperature magically turned the green leaves into fiery red, blazing orange and bright yellow! Fall makes everything beautiful and enchanting. Even at our home sweet home. Come and see for yourself....


Most of the farmers in the area were done harvesting heir crops. The golden field makes a great canvas for the beautiful fall colours. Our once vibrant green veggie garden and backyard turned into an enchanted fall yard.


Its that time of year when we pause and find time to watch the turning of the leaves, After all, Fall/Autumn is the year's last smile!

DIY {Do It Yourself} | Fall Centerpiece


Fall colors are at its peak here at home. Almost all of our maple trees are now dressed in bright red, orange and vivid yellow.


I wanted to bring the colors and leaves inside the house so I made these inexpensive fall center pieces yesterday while waiting for my hubby to come home {he's been working for almost 48 hours training nurses and hospital staff on Ebola virus infection control}.

Project #1:


You need:
Small serving tray {use whatever you have in your kitchen}
8 small pumpkins
Fall leaves from the backyard {choose different vibrant colors}
Scented candle jar {again use whatever you have at home, I used my Bergamot woods scentend candle from Bath and Body Works Fall collection}
Ceramic bird figurines {optional, or use any figurines you have : owls, birds, ducks}

Easy Peasy:
1. Place the candle jar in the middle of the tray
2. Put pumpkins around the jar.
3. Embellish with fall leaves and bird figurines.

And voila ....


Project #2


Yuu need:
Small round wood tray {I bought mine from a thrift shop for $1.50}
Mason gar {or any vase}
Bunch of fall flowers
2 small pumpkins
Fall leaves from the backyard

Easy Peasy:
1. Arrange the fall flowers in a mason jar.
2. Place the mason jar on the round tray.
3. Embellish with pumpkins and fall leaves.


As I always say, the kitchen is an excellent source of  materials to decorate our home. It also won't hurt to go outside and bring some of  nature's wonders inside!

Have a fantastic week!
