Fun trip to your autumn kitchen! Enjoy the season. Sally
Love all the Fall touches. I think that I need to get a tripod. I have some shakiness due to some meds, so that would help. Never used a real pumpkin for a pie, but I remember my mother using our Jack O Lanterns back in the 50's.
I really am envious of your kitchen cabinets. I'm beginning to feel that my cabinets are not serving me well. I need to re-organize and pitch and make them more accommodating. Thanks for an enjoyable read.

These are phenomenal snapshots! Your kitchen, I'm so envious of that gorgeous kitchen!

You have a beautiful kitchen. No I would use the cute little pumpkins either...I love the Libby Pumpkin Pie Filling...use it every year!
I am so glad you are enjoying your camera. The kitchen looks lovely!
I have made pie from pumpkins, but it was entirely too much work for me, I used the can pumpkin, not the pie mix.
Oh yes, the pre game show. I am not looking fwd to the game!
Come visit when you have time!
Hi Ann...
Your autumn kitchen is beautiful, my friend! Thank you for sharing it with us. I love the little gourds you got from ebay. I clicked on Penny's link...was wondering if she did something to hers to get the copper color? They really are beautiful!
Ann, I think your photos always look stunning! You know, I purchased the same tripod from Walmart. I seem to be just the opposite...I feel more comfortable holding my camera than using the tripod. Well dear lady, hope you're having a wonderful weekend!
Warmest autumn wishes,
Chari
Must be you needed tripod for your new camera. Your photos are lovely, I especially like the table runner. I have never tried the pie pumpkins to actually make a pie either. Also love the color of your island:)
Everything looks so beautiful Ann! I love all of your Autumn touches in the kitchen and your photography is looking fantastic! :-)
Vanessa
Love the dark cabinets juxtaposed against the white. Must get tripod.
Ann, you never fail to impress me. Beautiful photos, beautiful decor. :)
Jessica
Love your little touches of fall that you put in your kitchen. I need to get a tripod too. The new camera seems to be working well.
Ann, your kitchen and all the fall touches look great. I use my tripod all the time in the house. That way you can set the iso on 100 and take very clear pics. The lower the iso the more blurred the shots will be if you hold it so you have to use a tripod. Have fun practicing with that new camera.
Your kitchen looks so pretty with all the fall additions. Your pictures look great too. I think you're getting the hang of the new camera just fine.
Ann
I really like your color choices in your kitchen.
Your fall vignettes add such warmth.
I think I need a tripod now too!
Your kitchen is very pretty. Glad to hear you got a tripod. You must have a good camera then. I'm sure it helps to position your camera for the perfect shot.
Ann I just love your kitchen and all your fall touches look great!! I have a tripod and never use it, I really should start! Martina
Ann, I agree with the others, your kitchen is very pretty(and sparkling clean) I might add. The large window is so nice to have in the kitchen. You probably almost feel as if you're outside. Your touches of fall are subtle but very effective. We used to grow a few pumpkins for pies. The ones you cook have a very fresh taste and make wonderful pies but it is way to much work for most of us these days. The canned Libby pumpkin is a great convenience and is a very good substitute for the fresh ones. Wouldn't mind having a slice right now. Loved seeing your beautiful kitchen.-------Shannon
I love your autumn kitchen. The blue and white is a fav of mine and all of your touches are perfect. Thank you for stopping by my house tour and leaving such a sweet, sweet comment. You are the BEST!! Kathysue
Love the touches you added to the white pumpkin. I never cook with those pie pumpkins either, they are just so darn cute to decorate with though. I heart your blue and white platter on the counter-beautiful.
Love your autumn touches! Have a wonderful day!
Looks great!
Love all the fall touches. I don't think I have ever seen your kitchen - it is so pretty!
Wow, such a beautiful kitchen! Love your white pumpkin and lorvve the white rooster!
Have a great Sunday!
Beautiful Ann autumn touches in your warm home. I have to use my tripod more often...I do not enough and costs me more time for sure! Have a great day, and enjoy your new toy.
Your kitchen is so pretty. The autumn touches make it look so cozy! I love your ceramic tile! :D I really do not like our granite, an I would like to replace it.

Your home is Beautiful! and your pictures are amazing, I think I need more than a tripod to get shots like that. But maybe it would help, some... Visiting from Donna's Funky Junk's party, if you have a minute hop over for a visit!
Lorrie
I love your fall touches to the kitchen; so pretty. I have never used a real pumpkin for pie either; just sounds like too much work to me! :)
I would love to know how you finish your gourds, I have a few of them and they look like the ones you have. I love the look of Penny's!
I am thinking I may have to get a tripod too. I think it would make life easier and at that price!! :)
take care!
Jodi
Your kitchen is lovely.
Love your Autumn touches! Love the blue plates.Your home looks beautiful! I need a tripod too!Thanks for sharing,Love the gourds.JoAnn storming in Fl.LOL
Your photos look great. Thanks for sharing the info on the tripod. It's on my list of things to get so it's nice to hear when one is good. Your house looks lovely with the autumn touches.
Your kitchen looks so warm and inviting! I love all the white pitchers lined up above your beautiful cabinet!!!
Happy Fall,
M.L.
Lovely Ann... it looks just beautiful!
Love your cute kitchen..especially the black cabinet.:)
Enjoy your new camera..
O, and the Google images...too many are copyrighted and there's no way to really know. Free clip art is a much safer and better way to go...then you don't have to worry about the copyright thing.
What a pretty kitchen...I love all of the details, the mosiac above the stove and the plate racks...so charming. A great idea how you tied the leaves around the pumkins with the twine, adds something special. And your new gourds are sensational, makes me want to plant some for next year!
I always love seeing your kitchen! It's beautiful. I have one of those little cow creamers. Can you believe I had one packed in a box somewhere but found one Saturday at a yard sale for .50? I grabbed it. Enjoy your week and great weather!
Sorry if this is my second comment...My computer went "weird"....Love your kitchen!!!
what a cute kitchen~
So pretty and one thing that really caught my eye was your "Liberty Blue" platter. It has taken me years, but I have finally collected enough of them for both daughters and myself to have a 12 piece setting...
Now I am shopping for the extra pieces..
You have a wonderful blog!

Ann, your kitchen is beautifully dressed for Fall! Your vignettes are always lovely. Love your white pumpkin by the window ... beautiful compliment to your blue accents! Thanks for sharing.
Hi Ann,
I don't think I have ever seen your kitchen, it is very lovely. Your island is so pretty and I adore the tiled counter tops.
I haven't seen white pumpkins, so I have not gotten any yet, one day hopefully. Your autumn decor is gorgeous!!! I love it.
Have a lovely day.
Cindy
Hi Ann, your kitchen is looking lovely with all of your autumn touches. The blue and white looks so pretty with the little pops of orange. And I'm thinking of getting a tripod. I usually end up taking 20 pictures of the same thing and I usually get one that is clear. Can't wait to see what you do with those gourds. I have 2 hanging around from last year and still haven't done anything with them.
Marianne :)
i have a black and white kitchen also, i did pick up on some of your awesome ideas!!
blessings,
rebecca
Ann,
Your white pumpkin is gorgeous! I adore the trayscape!!! The tiny vase with the touch of bittersweet is the truest form of Autumn! Lovely kitchen. Your ironstone display is so stunning!
Fondly,
Pat
Your kitchen is so pleasant and I am so envious of your light. Blue is my favorite color so I like your kitchen. We share the blue and white love.
Love your fall vignettes. So glad to get a tripod recommendation. I am planning on trying one out. I do have shake in my photos and I need to make myself get with it. Thanks for the inspiration.
Pretty Autumn touches Ann. Your pictures are really great. A new camera is on my Christmas list. If I'm really good maybe Santa will grant my wish...fingers crossed.
These are great photos, Ann! I really have to try using a tripod- I`ve got the shakiest finger in the west! I love the way you`ve tied twine and fall leaves around the corn and pumpkin- just that extra little touch makes them extra special. BTW, I wouldn`t be able to make pumpkin pie filling from an actual pumpkin if my life depended on it!! I feel pretty good about the canned stuff as well;!
Ann,
Your photos are amazing. You seem to be getting more comfortable with your new camera. I love all your fall touches in your kitchen. Those white pitchers on top of your cupboard are so pretty, and I like how you put your own spin on the white pumpkin!
ann, your kitchen with the fallishness *love that word! is lovely!
blessings,
rebecca
Thanks for joining the party Ann! I really like the light over your island. That row of white pitchers is pretty special too ;)
I just nominated you for the Versatile Bloggers award! You can go to my blog to check out the details.
Your kitchen is lovely, Ann, and I love all the fall touches. I'm glad you like your new tripod, your pictures are wonderful!
I'm still looking for white pumpkins! I love how they pop amongst the oranges and yellows.
Have a great week! :-)
XO,
Jane
Ann, these images are very good with the tripod. My tripod lives in the closet and when the sun comes out and it stops raining I have promised myself I will use it. The pumpkins are darling. Do you know we live next to a gourd farm and I never buy any? I am awful I know it. I love your black and whit kitchen-so classic. hugs♥Olive
What a beautiful kitchen! I love your touches of Autumn...just enough & not overdone!!!
This is so pretty! Love your kitchen. Hope to see you at My Dream Canvas.
Beautiful photos Ann!
I love your home and your kitchen is so lovely !!!
I seem to be going over-board this year with Fall/Halloween decorations because it will be our first time with our kiddoes and kidlets close by -- well, that's my story and I'm stickin' with it! I do truly appreciate the less cluttered & more "sophisticated" Fall looks like yours and several others I've observed in blogland. I really do like the white pumpkins, but haven't had time to pull out the white paint to use on my orange ones. That may or may not happen! I love the little pie pumpkins & how you've tucked them among your lovely white dishes. It all looks very pretty.

Hi Ann! I love your blog! I just came across it and, it is wonderful! Thank you so much for the positive comments about purchasing a tripod....I may just have to go and get one now. Thank you! Kindest Regards, Beth Bryson
Hi Ann, Your kitchen is so beautiful and I love the blue and white accessories and the ironstone. Your autumn touches are wonderful.
Hugs,
Sherry
Ann, your photos are looking great and I hope you like your tripod. I use an old one of Hubby's when the light is low and it helps a lot.
Your trayscape is really pretty. Oh, I love your header. Did you do it?
Hope you have a great weekend, and thanks for visiting.
Girl, I'm lovin your kitchen, love all the fall touches and the gourds! You know I love gourds! Everything is so beautiful. You have a beautiful home. Have a wonderful weekend.
Tripod...great idea! Love your kitchen, it is sooo pretty! And your fall touches are so nice. I could spend hours at your island looking out of your beautiful picture window!
LOVE that gorgeous mirror over the mantel! You have a lovely home!
Hugs,
Patti
I love that window in the kitchen. Your kitchen looks great and the fall touches are perfect. Thanks for stopping by my blog and following. I will follow you as well.
