Judith at Botanic Bleu 




This week was all about Fall in my house. Here's your chance to see some behind-the-scenes for creating a Fall centerpiece and to view photos that show some of the post-and-beam structure of my house.



Step-by-step instructions with photos show how to create a large arrangement in a box or dough bowl. 



Fall French Country Living Room

A tour of the living room highlights its Fall decor, French style, and post-and-beam structure.

Now, for this week's linking party...



Monday Social
is a social gathering of friends where we connect with others by visiting them on 

Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, or a Blog.  

That's right, you do not have to write a blog to participate in Monday Socials.
You can also link photos from Instagram, Facebook, or Pinterest.

Find the addresses for your friends' sites, and 
link your addresses for friends to find. 


*****

Each Sunday at 4:00 p.m. party goers link up photos from one of four sites, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, and/or a Blog.  

Old-fashioned socials were held on/in lawns, porches, parlors, churches... where friends mixed, mingled, and shared their lives... and exchanged their calling cards that gave their names and contact information. 

Monday Social is a 21st century social where we exchange our calling cards (link our URL addresses) for Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, and a Blog.

Thanks for joining us last week for Monday Social #7.
We had a wonderful time visiting your links that you shared.
One quick tip...
Link your specific PHOTO not just your general social media site.



This week's features are also all about Fall. 


PINTEREST

Grantham Lynn "cowboys up" and decorates for Fall with what is on hand.
Her table setting shows you don't have to have pumpkins to create a Fall table. 



INSTAGRAM

Sarah visits Round Top Antiques Week regularly and finds the most wonderful displays to share. 
I love the blue and white dishes, white baby Boo, brown charger, and S T R A W table setting. 
A girl's trip to Round Top with Sarah would be so much fun! 



BLOG

Linda who blogs at Life and Linda is a master at creating innovative table settings.
Her Halloween table has just the right combination of up-scale style (toile pumpkins and black goblets), spooky (Agatha, the witch), and whimsy (ghosts popping out of boxes).

Agathas Black and White Tablescape



Sheila who blogs at My Kentucky Living shared her beautiful home filled with Fall inspiration. 
Her Halloween front door greets arriving guests with a fun black cat visible from outside and inside. 


Autumn Frame of Mind



We love your links.
Keep sharing with us and invite your friends to share their creations as well.
