Autumn...

Autumn is right around the corner.  Yay!!  I bought my first Mum for the season today.  Oh, I cannot wait to buy more and visit the pumpkin patch in a few weeks.  In the South, we are always excited for this time of year as our Summers are very hot and humid.  It's like a breath of fresh air!

Homemade Pizza

I made a yummy homemade pizza for dinner tonight.  I love making my own pizza, it's really so much better than ordering out or store bought.  I always buy my pizza dough from Trader Joe's (it's the best I have found) and top it with our favorite toppings.  Tonight I used pepperoni, green pepper, a very thin layer of tomato sauce, oregano, and fresh mozzarella cheese.

Here it is fresh out of the oven.  I do not have a traditional pizza pan.  I use a baking sheet pan and it works just fine.

I served it with a mixed green salad and fresh tomatoes with a splash of olive oil and ground black pepper!  Yummy!!

Pumpkin Ale

It's September (finally) and I just discovered this delicious Pumpkin Ale!  I love seasonal brews!  The label screams Autumn with that big orange pumpkin.  It's the perfect Autumn Ale!

Around the house...

While Charlotte napped today I went through the house with my camera and snapped a few photos to share with you.

I love this chest in my kitchen.  It's about twenty years old.  It was once in my bedroom, living room, and now it houses cookbooks, linens, etc. in my kitchen.  Lamp is from Target.  And the fish basket is from a lovely little shop in Charleston, SC. 

New candlesticks for the mantle.  

Love this chest by our front entrance filled with precious photos, sea shells from special vacations, and a painting I found at an antique shop in Laguna Beach.  Lots of special memories.

On to our guest room.  When we moved to this house it was painted a really ugly dark gold.  Hubby painted it a nice taupe color last Spring.  I love this chest.  It adds great color and texture to the room.  The lamp is from a local lamp sale last summer.

The bed side table was given to us by my husband's parents.  The headboard is from Mitchell Gold & Bob Williams.  Bed linens are form Restoration Hardware and I had the toile tailored bedskirt made.

The lamp is Ikea.  I need to update the clock!

The green striped pillow is from Pottery Barn.  I could use a piece of artwork over the bed.

Love this salad bowl/plate set from Pottery Barn.  It was a wedding gift.  The tray is from Pottery Barn, too.

I need to share a few photos from our master bedroom.  It's really no big deal and I still have lots of projects to complete, but maybe I will share anyway.
