Welcome to our Home Sweet Haunted Home and our Halloween Haunted House Party.

Fall and autumn decor and whimsical touches photographed during my walks and travels around the historic towns and villages of New England.

What? You haven’t heard of a Thanksgiving Tree before? Don’t worry, many haven’t.

As a prelude to the Hallmark Channel showcasing the Charlotte Inn in a Godwink Christmas, here is beautiful photographic tour of our visit to the Charlotte Inn, in Edgartown, Martha’s Vineyard. One of New England’s iconic luxury inns.

Adding mini pumpkins to a white fence is a simple and easy way to add touches of a New England fall to your home.

It’s the simple things that make me happy, including a box of wood!

When I posted my most recent photos of these New England style fall pumpkin topiaries, I only had two showing since I thought the three I had made for our previous home would overwhelm the portico, but once I added the mums, the three worked perfectly.

This morning, the book I grabbed off my shelf is a 1911 Boston Chamber of Commerce book, by George French, and I loved how he described the charm of New England.

Our New England fall front door decorating is underway and I am so excited to share even though it is not done yet.

This peach and apple sangria recipe was originally created in the fall to usher in September and kickoff the start of my autumn decorating and cooking, but this would be just as delicious as a spring or summer cocktail. I would just leave out the cinnamon stick.

After enjoying a gourmet lunch on the porch, over looking the tree tops, I have pulled together a list of items to help you duplicate the look.
