A tribute to the last roses tablescape

It's a bit unexpected to be using roses in the fall, but as the last roses have just now bloomed on our one lonely rosebush, I thought an appropriate send off was in order.


Adding yellows and pinecones to the table adds a rustic touch of fall.


 
When the rose is faded,
Memory may still dwell on


Her beauty shadowed,
And the sweet smell gone.


That vanishing loveliness,


That burdening breath,


 No bond of life hath then,


Nor grief of death.


Tis the immortal thought 
Whose passion still 


Makes the changing
The unchangeable.


Oh, thus thy beauty,
Loveliest on earth to me, 


Dark with no sorrow, shines
And burns, with thee.
When the Rose is faded by Walter de la Mare

Monday photo of the week - Fall roses




Our entryway. 
Softly lit. 
Horsehair pottery filled with grasses and sunflowers. 
A rustic pumpkin filled with roses, ranunculas, and what looks like a southern hemisphere type thing and some darling berries.  
Sweet Mr. CJ brought them home on Saturday.

I am truly blessed. 
May your week be the same - blessed.

Thank you for visiting. I appreciate your comments and would love visit you back!
