i. How I love autumn! I had so much fun putting together autumn scenes and quotes despite never actually having seen the season for real.
ii. Check out my ABC chocolate- a gift from a girl friend on my birthday. It's too pretty to eat, which is good so then I avoid too much sugar.
iii. Would you believe I got the ceramic plate for only 32 cents? I imagine it would look fab with a slice of Black Forest or Red Velvet on it.
iv. And here's Agalico - a quiet English tea room not far from where I live. It was wonderful savoring the charm while waiting for someone who joined me for tea.
the beauty of flowers in autumn leaves; very nice take

ReplyDeleteThat's one of my favourite autumn quote although I'm always surprised that Camus made it. Sounds too cheerful for him :)

The tea room looks splendid -- and so civilized!
ReplyDeleteAll of the pictures are beautiful, how I would love to sit in that tea room!
ReplyDeleteI love your fall background! Where I grew up we didn't have all the beauitful colors in the fall, so I have loved that aspect of where we have lived since we've been married.
ReplyDeleteThe chocolates are cute, the plate looks nice, and the tea room looks so inviting.
A very yummy post... Great reflection, well done.
