I have similar rugs, kilims, and I often do as you and take colors and inspiration from them. <br /><br />DH and I could live on potatoes. The current favorite is potato knish from a bakery a few miles away. Heaven. I must find the roaring fireplace candle, since we don't have a fireplace!<br /><br />Fall is not nesting time in the desert. It's the opposite. We all creep out of our air conditioned enclosures to enjoy the mild temperatures and the bright sun. We're taking long walks, gardening (it's amazing the vegetables you can grow once the heat abates) and sitting out on our neglected patio.

It is so fresh! I am doing a little autumn nesting myself these days. So much planning to do it is making my head spin at times.<br /><br />My husband does not like potatoes at all and will seldom eat them no matter how they are made. I love them so we are at odds now and again. We are both fine with pasta, rice and other grains as a side so it's usually only during summer barbecue season that it becomes an issue because I love them roasted on the grill with Vidalia onions, which are incidentally the only kind of onions he will eat. Picky eater that man. xoxohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12336645422459479330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3818151513249030194.post-13061896043273339242013-09-23T18:41:22.842-04:002013-09-23T18:41:22.842-04:00There's no better gastronomic complement than ...There's no better gastronomic complement than a potato.

I think you might like Jo Malone candles as well, like the Blackberry and Bay. Worth a stop at Holt's for scent samples. In Target, also try looking for Caldrea products (the parent co. of Mrs. Meyers). They don't have all the scents here yet, some I find overpowering, but others good.GetFreshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15426579144685310371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3818151513249030194.post-46368544997106428022013-09-23T17:53:01.599-04:002013-09-23T17:53:01.599-04:00Dani, You've got me wanting to scent the house...Dani, You've got me wanting to scent the house now with some lovely cookies and candles. I just got back from the store with some colorful goards and I can't wait to put out pumpkins. I can't believe you did the chairs yourself. You are very talented and great the fabric choices.

Diptyque Verveine more effective than citronella against outdoor pests in summer. I expect the company is unaware. This has sealed my husband's dislike of smelly candles. Off to France soon, shopping list short due to aforementioned husband's aversion to fragrance and my advanced age, at which I'd rather pay more on this side of the Atlantic!
