Autumn at The PORCH & Atelier

There's been alot of 'behind the scenes' happening around here~

Alot of cleanup and - hate to say it - getting ready for the change to our winter season. The boxwood pots are close to the door, ready to come inside sometime soon. I still love the window box (background), and how its colors transitioned well into fall.
Paring down what is in our back courtyard, washing windows, picking up leaves - taking advantage of the last glorious fall days to be outdoors without bundling up~

Right now, the vignettes are definitely thinned out, but we'll be stocking up and adding before the November Market. We still have alot of decorating to do~

Our 'volunteer vine' is slowly being cut down for wreaths and garlands in the shop~

Our November Market is always a seasonal mix. The evergreen juniper pots are mixed among the pumpkins, herbs and diamond frost lobelia. You'll find Autumn/Thanksgiving glory, right along with Christmas holiday decor here.

The 10-17 Sunday load is still in the van - which has spent the last two days in a service bay. So happy the breakdown waited until after I went junking on Sunday morning! (I wonder what the mechanics thought when they saw all that stuff?)
