Fall is officially here! My favorite time of the year. The refreshing, crisp mornings are nearly upon us and soon we will have opportunities to pull those boots and sweaters from under the bed. For me, this season always brings to mind my mother-in-law wearing an adorable seasonal apron and her jean jacket with appliquéd sunflowers on it. They were absolute favorite flowers. She also had a beautiful urn with silk sunflowers that were displayed all year long. They brought her joy and she consistently surrounded herself with them.
There is a reason why so many people enjoy these beautiful, sun facing flowers. It is because these flowers are known for being “happy flowers” that create an atmosphere of beauty. They symbolize adoration, loyalty and longevity.
Sunflowers brighten a kitchen and make you smile as you place them in a vase. Personally, I like to add pops of color to sunflower arrangements, making an interesting bouquet, although they are beautiful by themselves.
A beautiful arrangement of sunflowers sets the tone for any gathering. Whether it is tailgating, a cookout or a simple family gathering, they bring joy. And that’s why we’ve chosen to offer a beautiful hand-screened 28” tea towels with sunflowers, the lingo “love” and “kindness wins” printed on them. These cheerful towels add that touch of fall to your kitchen. They also make great hostess gifts!
To continue the theme of fall gatherings, you can make a beautiful spread by including one of our Farmhouse Pottery’s ash wood cheese boards. Choose a delicious recipe from our Small Bites or Bites on a Board cookbooks, too. They include inspiring bites and dinners to choose from this season. These scrumptious meals and bites create beauty for any gathering. Finally, we also have tote bags with hand screened sunflowers, and the lingo “love” and “kindness,” too. They make great totes for a picnic this fall, going to the gym or to market. These totes share the message to the world with life giving words and art!
Sunflower in French is “torunesol,” which means “turn with the sun.” I love that because as believers in Christ we only bring life to others by turning to Christ. As we are filled with his light daily we display His glory! Enjoy this fall season delighting in Christ knowing He gave us this gorgeous season. Soon, trees will be changing, displaying colorful hues to paint the sky.
Share the joy of sunflowers and these beautiful cheese boards, cookbooks, tea towels and totes with friends and family this season. Let’s embrace the season creating joy all around you!
Happy Fall!
