orange, yellow, browns, reds and golds...none of which i could choose as a favorite combination as they all make my heart sing, but the two colors together that set the mood for me each year are black and ivory.  it's old, worn, vintage autumn.  vintage autumn....positively delicious, don't you think? i dream of an old house, stained with history and memory, old mantles holding up pumpkins and gourds, wind shuffling the leaves around outside, cider mulling on the stove, while the old black clock ticks away the time....i live in an old house indeed....1926....however, it's spanish in style and located in sunny southern  california, where even on the "stormiest" of days in the fall...the only rustle i hear is the trash blowing down the alley.  so there are moments when i get to visit places that hold above said treasures, and i was lucky enough to meet a new friend who let me into her surroundings and photograph away. thank you linda - your treasures are my treasures too.
