31 Days of Beauty and Quotes
Welcome to 31 Days of Beauty and Quotes.
For the last few years The Nester has had a 31 day challenge for the month of October. This year I decided to take the 31 day challenge and will post every day for 31 days.

I’ve always loved the way the sun shines through these blue bottles on the kitchen windowsill. I’ve been lucky to have a window over the sink in every home we’ve lived in and these bottles have often sat on the windowsill with or without flowers.
This is day 1. Each day I will add another link for you.
I hope you enjoy it!

Autumn Decor
Outside signs of autumn decor are everywhere: trees are changing color, pumpkins are plentiful. Time to bring a little of that autumn color inside. I’m not a fan of autumn colors. I prefer the blue, white, yellow, green.
Fortunately orange goes great with blue, so these poppies and pumpkin are perfect.
The mantel gets a new look.
A beaded metal pumpkin holds a little votive candle.
Some green apples sit in some blue and white china.
A $4 stack of baskets and a $1 metal tin from yard sales sit in front.
A cozy throw, from Restoration Hardware, $2 at a yard sale and a new green cover for the pillow make things feel cozier.
A little coziness for my autumn decor.

September Garden
It’s September and my garden is a mess! As soon as it turns hot my poor garden gets ignored, so my September garden never looks good. Right now it is full of weeds. The neighbors have a mimosa tree that drops a gazillion seeds in our garden and I think every one of them has sprouted! But in amongst the weeds there are some pretty things growing.
The sedum is beautiful. This one is called “autumn joy”.
Our beauty berry bush is loaded with these beautiful purple berries.
The blossoms on this solidago remind me of fireworks!
The rain lilies are popping up everywhere and they are so cheerful.

I don’t remember planting this begonia in this planter so it might have seeded itself . Such a delicate blossom and a beautiful color of pink.
So even though the September garden is a mess there is still beauty to be found. There are still flowers blooming among the weeds. Isn’t that how it is with life? It can be a mess, chaotic, stressful, but if you look hard enough, you can usually find something to be thankful for in the midst of it.
