Autumn Hutch

Autumn Fall Hutch by Jeanne Selep
Image 1: Autumn hutch arrangement

When autumn arrives each year at my house, a new autumn hutch display follows.  Autumn's palette of colors are more subdued than my normal arrangements, and often consist of mostly brown transfer ware and some Bavarian plates.  Over time I have been picking china and glass items to expand my options, and now my autumn hutch is more colorful.

The hutch (a Welch dresser) allows me to showcase cherished finds like these above.  The mugs above, for example, are antique Villeroy and Boch.

I love this vintage pear plate.  I believe it's a turn of the century or early 1900's art design.  I like the artist's decision to include subtle shadows of the branches and leaves on the white section.  I consider it innovative design from around 100 years ago.

Behind the pear plate in the hutch is an extravagant platter that has an incredible border with thick raised gold edging, an inner border of poppies, and elaborate thin gold filigree line work over the poppies.  Is this border a little over the top or a lot?  I love it's exuberant detail.


Willams Sonoma Apple Plates

I often mix contemporary, vintage, and antiques pieces in my hutch arrangements, and I was happy to find ten contemporary Williams Sonoma apple plates (in 4 different designs) at a resale shop. I love the "botanical drawing" style on the apple plates.

Someone's collection of nine different amber stemmed and footed goblets became mine when I bought them at an estate sale. A lucky find to brighten up the color in the hutch!

3. Madonna Inn Wild Rose pattern goblet;
4. Diamond point ribbed pattern goblet;
5. Unknown;
6. Westmoreland Paneled Grape pattern goblet]

The German Meissen plate above has oak leaves and acorns trimmed with gold - definitely one of my favorites plates in my collection! It's also a fall plate.  Acorns appear in fall and are all over my driveway!


I hope you enjoyed my fall hutch.  I look forward to looking at other fall decor posts.   I hope you have a great fall season - summer here went by too quickly!

Fused Glass Christmas

The Christmas season quickly went from pending to past, and my very pleasant Christmas passed by without a Christmas post on my blog.  Now that the time spent decorating, visiting, gifting, cooking and cleaning is over, I can focus my attention on other things without guilt.  (That's sometimes hard to do before Christmas.) 


Fused Glass Star by Jeanne Selep

My living room got new carpet, a new desk and a new couch in December, basically a mini-remodel, so this year I had a smaller tree and less time to decorate and blog.   


Fused Glass Snowflake by Jeanne Selep

I decorated with some fused glass ornaments I made, which I thought I would share today.  I only started creating fused glass projects in the last six months of 2024, so I'm posting early results.

Starting simple, I tried making numerous Christmas trees for gifts and to learn techniques.

I'm looking forward to creating more projects in 2025.

My hopes and prayers for 2025 are love and serenity, and no climate change problems.

 

Have a Blessed and Peaceful 2025!
