Autumnal Inspiration

17/9/2012

I hate to admit it, but there's beginning to be a bit of an autumn chill in the air. I see the signs when I look out the window - the late summer goldenrod is losing its brightness, the wildflower meadow has been cut and the first leaves are starting to turn. I often feel a sense of loss a the end of summer and as the days draw shorter.

Autumn, however, does have a few things to redeem it. Glorious flame coloured foliage, crunching leaves underfoot, and the first lighting of the wood burning stove.

Our house is centred around a Sweetgum tree, a Liquidambar, that simply comes into its own in autumn. It lights up with radiant red and orange hues that never fail to make me smile.

I think there is depth and richness to these colours. I took inspiration from this glowing Autumn palette to create this Etsy Treasury.

Autumn brings with it too a rustic and less verdant look. Cool autumn skies, harvested fields and brown bark have been the theme for these latest additions to my Etsy Shop.
What do you feel about Autumn? Do you revel in the season, or see it merely as a prelude to winter?
