For the Love of Fall

With summer behind us and the days getting shorter and the nights colder we start to retreat more to our homes for evenings by a fire and snuggled up watching a movie. Fall scents are in the air and the brisk weather has us taking out our cozy blankets and setting up our guest bedrooms for the arrival of holiday guests. It is my favorite season. I love everything about it. The way the sky looks and how the sun peeks through the changing leaves on a tree. Pumpkins, mums and sweater weather. It always reminds me of my mom and days walking home from school and smelling her home cooking a block away. I love that Ava Rose has that same feeling coming home from school. A delicious home cooked meal waiting for her, a cozy throw to snuggle up with and a comfy blanket to go to bed with. Fall is also the time when we stock up our shop and our online store with everything you need to prepare your home for guests and to get ready to settle in and enjoy your home.


Here are some of my favorite picks this fall. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

 The evenings begin to have that Autumnal chill, but inside it’s toasty as friends come together to share food and candlelight. Our favorite Fall Candle Cranberry Orange Scented!

Happy Fall! I am going to put on a pot of minestrone soup for tonight's dinner. Enjoy your day!

New Arrivals...Clairebella & Tourance Robes


The holiday season is in full swing! Now is the perfect time to introduce some of our new products from Clairebella and Tourance.

Entertain your family and friends with these beautiful personalized trays that are perfect for any occasion. Clairebella’s large acrylic trays come in a variety of stylish patterns and colors, and each come with a laminated insert for easy cleaning. What I love the most is that you can select the font, pattern and colors to match your taste. So whether you’re organizing your desk, or serving food to your guests, these trays are sure to make a vibrant statement with an added personal touch. Aren't they just adorable?


Once you choose your colors and pattern, customize it some more with your name or monogram! 



We’re also pleased to introduce Clairebella’s personalized Holiday inspired cutting boards. Time to throw away those boring old wooden cutting board and spice up your kitchen with these festive beauties.




Be sure to check out even more items, like this Cookies for Santa plate, from Clairebella here.



With the winter months among us, you’ll want to cozy up with one of the new Tourance Lux Faux Rabbit Fur Robes, shown here in Blush (center), Ivory (left), and Chocolate (right). 




These luxurious robes are made to keep you warm with the incredibly soft micro fiber polyester. Robes have never looked so gorgeous!

Thanksgiving is next week, so keep your eyes peeled for gorgeous decoration ideas, healthy recipes and holiday gift ideas from our store.
BUT! Since I can't wait for the holiday, I'll leave you with a Thanksgiving inspired recipe to test out this weekend! I hope this vegan friendly dish is tasty. If you try it out, please share your experience with us in the comments below. We would love to hear how it turns out.


This versatile stuffing is good on its own or stuffed into winter squashes, or green or red bell peppers.  
Serves: 6 to 8
  • 6 cups firmly packed diced whole grain sourdough bread
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cups chopped red onion
  • 3 scallions, minced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon each: dried thyme and rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt, more or less to taste
  • 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
  • 1/2 cup dark raisins
  • Freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 1 cup apple or orange juice, or as neededPlace the diced bread on a baking sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, or until dry and lightly browned.
Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the onion and sauté over medium heat until golden.

Combine the bread cubes with the onion in a mixing bowl. Add all the remaining ingredients except the apple juice and toss together. Sprinkle the juice in slowly, stirring, to moisten the ingredients evenly.

Transfer the mixture to an oiled shallow 1 1/2-quart baking pan. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until browned and still slightly moist.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.


Have a great weekend everyone!
