Pumpkin Pretties and Goodies at Williams-Sonoma

It is that time of year when I become obsessed with everything pumpkin....the décor, the scents, and the tastes of pumpkin.  Williams-Sonoma never disappoints with their seasonal merchandise.  These are just a few of the autumn/pumpkin items on my wish list:

These pumpkin crackers will add a fun, festive look to any autumn tablescape.  They are stuffed with a party crown, jokes, riddles, and party games.





I love the colors and print of this tablecloth.  It is machine washable and available in several sizes.



The 20" square matching napkins...also machine washable.



The pumpkin-motif porcelain dinnerware is gorgeous!



The mugs would be perfect for sipping apple cider or a pumpkin spice latte.


I already have these adorable pumpkin napkin rings...they can be used now through Thanksgiving and year after year.  They never go out of style.




Speaking of the scents of autumn...this candle has pumpkin, with scents of cinnamon, ginger, and cloves!  LOVE this candle.  Pumpkin scent...all through the house!


Pumpkin Spice hot chocolate?  Lord have mercy, this sounds good!  Just combine it with heated milk and voila!  This makes staying home on a Saturday night fun!





Since I fail at making my own pumpkin bisque, I must try this.  All I have to do is heat this soup starter with vegetable or chicken broth.  I think I could do this.



I need this because I LOVE pumpkin bread and the pecan pumpkin butter sounds delicious!  The bread mix makes 12 muffins or one 4" x 8" loaf.  The butter size is 13.5 oz.  I'm sure that pecan pumpkin butter would also be wonderful on scones or crumpets!



Yes, I think a shot of this pumpkin spice coffee syrup would go well with my coffee!  It will also be delish drizzled over ice cream and pancakes.

FRIENDSHIP GIFTS FOR SEPTEMBER

I'm relaxing today...sippin' some Apple Cinnamon Tea that I mixed together and browsing through this sweet book "The Art of Giving."

Gift-giving is a year-round event at my house and each month I make sure to have a "Friendship Gift" ready to give to friends who visit me or gifts to give as a last-minute hostess gift...just showing a little Southern Hospitality y'all.

In September, I'll be giving out Miss Janice's Apple Cinnamon Tea. I'm very happy with the flavor of this tea. I chose Twinings loose black tea, added some chopped dried apples and ground cinnamon, and voila...it is delightful! The mix is placed inside a small Mason Jar, with a sage toile cover and sage ribbon bow...inexpensive, but a kind gesture!

My September "Friendship Gifts"...


This is a wonderful time of year! I'm soooo ready for Fall . I can almost taste and smell the Pumpkin Spice Lattes at Starbuck's, warm pumpkin bread with a cup of coffee, homemade pumpkin pie with cool whip, the decadent pumpkin cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory, and the wonderful smell of my pumpkin candle. So exciting...and it's just around the corner:)

Thank you so much for visiting with me today...Stop back again real soon--I'm gonna have an exciting giveaway...maybe this week!
