Cheers to Autumn

From September to November, schedules remain quite hectic generally, it is a transition period. Between end of season, last bosses or charter trips, Atlantic Crossings, Yacht Show in the Med & Florida, boats getting sold, or getting ready for shipyards…. , crew leaving or starting new jobs, what did I forget ? Holidays of course, Yes they are also part of those 3 months period too . And we have to remember to do those inventories too but also prepare the winter season ahead. Well there is no time to get bored !

Option one is spending winter in a warm place in the world, Option 2 is to go to a cold area where snow, winter sports , mountain, fireplace, chalets, ski resort will be part of everyday life for a season.

So there is no time for winter blues when you are jumping from one estate in the tropics or a season in the Med to a ski resort in the Alps or in Colorado.

This is this moment of the year when we start thinking of Warm Chocolates, Cheese Fondue , Mulled wines, Elk sausage or a Lamb fondue … and more , but still trying to adjust to the arrival of winter . Just wait for December to show up 🙂

The air is crisp during autumn days, it is invigorating , I love to observe the transformation in our mother nature, and the change of colors when all leaves fall and nature become a mix of saffron and chilly.

It is time to Cozy up, and find the perfect item to decorate the Interior for Autumn Season and Thanksgiving.

My mid season selection (beside family and friends 🙂 )to sit, relax, sip a drink at sunset and watch all the kaleidoscopic colors of autumn.
