Haven't been here in a little while ,wanted to show you all what I did yesterday. Autumn is my favorite time and I love to decorate and bake. I made a Autumn tree with one of my skinny alpine trees and after I got done decorating the house I made two german plum cakes.

Love your decor, is the kitty applique also?

Absolutly love your tree and decorations ! I would love to do the tree but hubby says -- you're kidding right:( Besides we live in a small house.


Everything else is decorated !

Awesome fall decorations! The pies look fantastic too! :-D

Wow Wow Wow thank you for the inspiration !! Your decorations are beautiful and those cakes look amazing. Fall is also my favorite time of year and now I need to get into the attic and bring my decorations down. Wish I could bake like that but that is impossible. Have a great day and thanks again for sharing.

LOLOL....no That is my Boomer.I just told him what you said, he was not amused :-D :-D

LOVE your tree! :)

You did a lovely job of decorating.

looks very pretty

Love the tree!

very pretty. wanna share your receipe for the plum cake?

Thanks so much for sharing the beautiful pictures. I agree, fall is the best season. You've done a wonderful job.

Beautiful decor, but I have to ask, is that snow outside?

cakes look yummy. Decorations are cute. The only decoration I've made is the tp roll pumpkin made of a fat quarter, but no one's guess what the base is yet. (And I learned how to make on the board!

The Tabby is a wonderful part of your decor :)...I so enjoy fall....beautiful, thanks for sharing...I would love to do the tree, but I fight to get the Christmas tree up on my birthday (Nov. 28th) every year...no way would my family let me do one in the fall...I am sooo jealous :)

Wow...you have been busy...I love your CAT police watching over the area too...lol Naomi

Maybe if you made those plum cakes, family would change mind!

Looks awesome

Very nice decorations!

My favorite season too. Love all your decorations.

Cake??? Cake???? Did someone say Cake????

LOLOL about the cakes.
This is an old german recipe . it is a lot denser and not as sweet as american cakes. I have made this with plums or apples and everybody loves it.
1/2 cup sweet butter
3/4 cup sugar
2lg eggs
1tsp lemon juice
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup milk
about 7 plums
Beat butter,sugar,eggs and lemon juice until creamy
blend flour,baking powder and salt in seperate bowl. Add to the butter mix, alternate with the milk.
cut plums in half remove pit but not the skin. cut plum in a fan shape-about 4 cuts-sprinkle with a bit of sugar and almond slices.
spread in greased spring form. bake at 350 50 to 60 min. do the toothpick test, because all ovens are different.mine takes about 60 min.
You can make apple, nectarine or fresh peach cake out of this recipe. they are all good.Sometime i use chopped walnuts and sometimes i add a little vanilla flavoring..........Enjoy :))

Do you put the plums in the pan first or on top of the batter? (This looks like something DH would enjoy.)

Love the decor...I need to get mine out. Those cakes looked just yummy!

Just lay the plums on top of the dough. the dough is creamy,so I just kind of push them down a little. as the cake bakes the dough will come up and around the plums a little.

Love the decorations and cat! Thank you for the recipe I am off to buy plums!

Great idea on the alpine tree.Gonna make one with the lights too.Thanks for posting.

Love everything you did, but I have to say that I think the kitty in the picture was just perfect.

What are those desserts? Would love the recipe.

Thank you for recipe

I am inspired by your enjoyment of the fall season. Now, all I need to do is take time to clean house instead of quilting so I can decorate also! lol

I love autumn also. I haven't thought to put up a tree like that. How adorable. Nice job :thumbup:

I admire your enthusiam for the seasons. I would bet you approach life in the same way. How wonderful.

No one has mentioned the table cloth or runner! Its so pretty! Your house looks so festive. Great job decorating!!!

Beautiful! Fall is my FAVORITE time of year!!

Love the decorations and especially the kitty.

evmt1967 just mentioned the exact thing that caught my eye right away...the table covering. I LOVE it. I'm not a big fall person...Christmas decorating is my time to spend days and nights decorating the house. But I do have some fall decorations that hubby has to find the boxes for me. We had Mid Atlantic Waterproofing do our basement last spring and had to remove all boxes from the wall to wall shelves against the back wall in the storage room in our basement. I looked for the boxes the other day marked Fall and Halloween but couldn't find them in the stacks that I could reach. Anyway.....

Your table covering just gave me a great idea. I am making a wall hanging with Snow Babies panels...using strips and blocks around the panels and finishing with 2 borders. I just might change the design of the hanging and make 2 things...the wall hanging and then a table cover. I have a table about the size of yours inside the front door...to the right under a window and it would look perfect on that table.

Thanks for sharing your photos...since it inspired me...lol.

Wow!

I'd love to know how to make the plum cake, too, as we have 2 plum trees and love plums!! Your decor is so warm and homey looking-my style!

How beautiful. I could even smell the wonderful cinnamon/apple smell of autumn. I need to get busy.
