Autumn has arrived

August flew by for us, lots of work, not much downtime and BAM - it's suddenly September and there's a definite chill in the air.

I love this time of year, the approach to Halloween (best holiday ever!) and that scent of dried leaves, moss and mustiness that starts around now.

A few photos from the past two weeks here in Ireland:

 

 

Bales outside the kitchen.  Clear blue sky.

 

 

The front door smothered in honeysuckle. The scent is incredible.

 

 

Starbucks scone recipe. I've never eaten one but the recipe looked yummy. It was!

 

 

Wheat for our Lughnasa festivities.

 

 

Old roofs, in traffic, on the way to Dublin.

 

 

Getting in the Halloween frame-of-mind!

 

Happy Autumn to you all! ~Siobhan xx

Fill in the Blank Friday

My little blog has been so neglected the past month I thought maybe I’d get back into the swing of things with Lauren’s Fill in the Blank Friday!


Hello to Lauren and thanks for stopping by to say hello! I agree, your beautiful Marley looks just like our Boots! Aren’t German Shepherds the best?


Do drop over to Lauren’s wonderful blog, here, and add your own link and join in the fun!


1. True happiness is being loved with lots of food in the house!


2. The most surreal moment of my life was when I bought my first house and walked in the first time as the owner – scary, wonderful, surreal .


3. My favorite texture is velvet. End of story.


4. My signature color is equal amounts of black and purple.


5. My signature style is toned down bohemian. Jeans with tunic tops, flowy dresses and vintage jewelry.


6. If I could choose one store to spend my life savings at, it would be Anthropologie. Even though I’ve never shopped there, it’s totally my style!

7. My best thing about autumn is everything is the best thing! That musty smell of leaves, burning woods and last, but not least, Halloween! My favourite holiday!

A very happy, magical and fun October weekend to all!   Siobhan xox
