Please join Shelia at, Note Songs for a kitchen party. We all know that the kitchen is the heart of our home. The warm smells of baking and cooking just leads us to our favorite room in our home. A kitchen can sell a home or NOT. A lovely kitchen is the first thing we notice when looking for a home to buy.
I HEART MY KITCHEN
Warning...lots of photos will be shared today.
I have decorated for Fall and I can't help it...
I must share all the fun.
My kitchen is kind of a formal country style and is one great big room. I do not have a formal dining room, so I will be sharing the whole room. Many of you have seen my kitchen before but not with my Fall decorations.
Here we go...
Come in, have a piece of Amish coffee cake. I baked it just for you.
That's all folks. Whew!
The cook book is from the 1930's and so are the fruit prints in the kitchen.
Happy kitchen to each of you
Hugs, Jeanne
Hi Jeanne! If you look at the time I'm commenting to you - it's 4:11 am! I was just so excited about the party I couldn't sleep and there you were! OH, how I love your kitchen. I'd love to have a big pretty space like yours! I love all of your Fallen touches and vignettes! The border above your counters is so pretty! Your artwork in the kitchen is so lovely too! Now that table, I can just see your clan around it eating your wonderful cooking. :)
Thank you so very much, Jeanne, for coming to my party! I love your kitchen!
You are a sweetie,
Shelia :)

You are all spruced up for Autumn, and everything looks so festive. I love seeing your things that I remember because they make me smile.
The pumpkins looks great in your window sill, and I see that gorgeous new piece you purchased on the hutch.
I love it all, and I love you.

Your kitchen is perfect for all of your fall decor. I bet it is beautiful at Christmas too! A great space for entertaining!

G'morning, Jeanne...what a great and warm looking kitchen you have. I love all your pretty decorations, too.
I couldn't get Mr. Linky to link up with you...not sure just why. ANYway, so glad you came to the party to show us your sweet kitchen.

Hi Jeannie,
Your link is NOT working! I had to come here by the "side roads." Check back and see if Shelia can fix it for you.
Of course, I love your kitchen; it looks warm and friendly--just like YOU!

Hi Jeanne,
I love your curtains are they Waverly?. Your kitchen looks so pretty dressed for fall...a delightful place to cook. I see you have some glass pumpkins, I do too :)
Have a sweet day, Elizabeth

Your kitchen is so warm and inviting. I see you love color, too. Love your glass canisters and the large fruit art on the wall is so pretty. I will see you Saturday if a grandbaby doesn't come early.

What a beautiful home! I think the colors of Fall are my favorites and it's wonderful to bring out pretty things for Autumn! Have a wonderful week! See you soon! ♥

Hello fall at Jeanne and Bills home oh, and CC too : )
Yes your kitchen is the heart of the home for sure. You sure went all out, and it shows. Every picture is just perfect. It's so cool that I can say "I've been there". It puts a big smile on my face. Knowing that you will have family around that great table also warms my little heart.
Soooooo... Guess what's in my oven? NO NOT A BUN IN THE OVEN LOL, but a Prime Rib roast. it's a beautiful fall day with lots of sunshine, and I've been fall cleaning, defrosted the roast and voila! Randy and Colt are flabbergasted lol I'm even making some yorkshire pudding from scratch. Can you smell it?? Dinner will be served at 5:30 if you care to come over. I WISH!!
So let's see. Sunday was spectacular. Check out my pics on FB ok? Monday Randy and I picked up SISTER and drove through the prettiest cemetery I have even seen. Not that I frequent those spots very often thank God, but this one is a very special one. I will blog about it on Veterans Day in Nov. with a tribute to my dad. Wait till you see the pictures. Breath taking. SIster had such a lovely time too. She called me yesterday and told me "my heart is full". AWWWWWWW right?
Looked at an old trailer yesterday. I really want one to fix up, before next summer. One like "the girls on the fly". Randy said no...... I say yes. I wonder who will win? lol
Ok the roast is calling me.
Great post on your kitchen dear friend.
Love You TTMABA (I wonder if anybody knows what those letters mean? ; )

That has to be the warmest and most inviting kitchen table I ever sat down and had Amish Cake...and with the best Kitchen Hostess in Blogland! Beautifully Fall decorated Kitchen, Jeanne! Love the fruit print plates!
Posted by: Sue | October 13, 2010 at 08:43 PM
Very festive and in tune with the season.
Posted by: Carolina Mts | October 13, 2010 at 10:44 PM
Your Autumnal Kitchen is totally Beautimus! :) I am so impressed with the awesome fall decor!!! Will you come and decorate for me? :)
I spent the day "running" my final pre-5Krun, meeting my niece for lunch at the 5K sight, and eating apple crisp! What a glorious day!!
Love to YOU! DANA

I loved seeing your pretty kitchen all "dressed" for fall! You've shared so many pretties with us! Isn't it fun to have a peek at everyone's kitchen -- they're all delightful. Thanks for your sweet visit to me -- I, too, love my little "Blessings" corner.

Hi you busy girl, YOU!! Hope all of the cleaning and spiffing is coming along nicely as you prepare for your ONSLAUGHT! WOW! I haven't had that many folks over in a very long time.....it's motivation for pulling your house together, but it is certainly tiring!
The hubs is going with me to pick up my "packet" for the big run. We go to Crown Center (Hyatt) and get our "bib" numbers (really big smile!) and officially "check in". They don't want to be dealing with thousands of us first thing in the morning!! They also have a bunch of vendors set up to lure us into buying STUFF! :) Didn't tell the hubs about that part! :) Send good thoughts for me.....that first mile will do me in. If I make it up that hill, I can certainly finish the rest of it! :)
Gotta get busy. Hope you have a great day! L, Dana

Oh I have enjoyed my tour here in your beautifully warm kitchen. I can tell this truly is the heart of your home. You have so many pretties to look at, I seriously could spend hours in there talking with you and about them. Thanks for sharing your lovely warm kitchen with us. Debbie

I can't think HOW I missed this post!! The bright warmth of the kitchen and the scent of that coffeecake should have lured me in from way over here---how very beautiful and perfect everything is, all decked out for Fall. And I have a feeling that lots of the cheery beautifuls are year-round residents, brightening the whole house with their warm greetings.
This is absolutely stunning---like a magazine layout---everything so wonderfully in its place, and so artfully arranged---what a welcoming kitchen!!
And warm thoughts from me today (Saturday) for all your labors---wish I were there to help.
