It’s officially the first day of fall! Of course here in Georgia it’s more like monsoon season with heavy rain and lots of flooding, but we’ll pretend that’s not happening and that it’s a beautiful crisp fall day!

Rhondi at Rondi’s Rose Colored Glasses is having a Welcome Fall Day and you can post anything having to do with fall. So join the party, there’s still plenty of time!
I thought I’d share this very cute Acorn tea set that I got at Cracker Barrel at the beginning of summer. They had a couple of shelves filled with really deeply discounted fall merchandise from the previous season and I had to pick this cutie up! The store they have has so many cute things (I actually like the store more than the food there)!
I made some Apple Pie Cake cake to go along with my coffee. I’m sure most of you already know how to make this but I’ll put the recipe at the end of the post for those who don’t
To really kick off Fall I’d like to have a little Give A Way of “Autumn” by Susan Branch. If you’re not familiar with Susan Branch go to her website Heart of the Home and enjoy yourself! She has the cutest books filled with decorating ideas and great recipes!
I really appreciate everyone who stops by whether or not you leave a comment. But to be entered you need to leave a comment. You don’t have to have a blog but I do need to have a way to contact you. Anyone from anywhere can enter.

Apple Pie Cake
1 can of apple pie filling
1 can of crushed pineapple drained or 2 cans of apple total
1 box of yellow cake mix
1 stick of butter melted
Preheat oven to 350
Dump the apple pie filling and pineapple into a 9×13 pan and mix (or use two cans of apple pie filling instead but the pineapple gives it a bit of a tart kick). Pour 1 box of Yellow Cake Mix on top and spread evenly. Pour 1 stick of melted butter all over the top. Bake for about 45 minutes. Enjoy!
Lovely! Even though I don't drink tea, I think I need a cute little tea set like that! Must I say how much I adore Fall! I'm getting ready to post my latest Autumn inspired embroidery…
Happy Fall!

Your post is so pretty! Happy fall!
Oh…it's all so cute! I do love that tea set, and that reminds me that I haven't been to Cracker Barrel in a long time to see their darling decor. I'm with you, I like the store better than the food!!!
Hi Manuela. I was laying in bed half dozing with the TV on and I heard them mention flooding in Marietta, GA and of course my thoughts turned to you. I was just about ready to send you and email to see if all was okay down your way and I seen your post. I read it and looked at your wonderful fall pictures and your mention of apple cake and decided that hey, you are okay.:D I'm glad to hear that. Do take care and sure I'd love to be entered in your Fall contest. Thanks a lot and take care.
Thanks for the Apple Pie Cake recipe too! I have actually never seen that, and I bake ALOT, so this is a treat for me….will try it this weekend 🙂

You must be near my parents. They only have one way to and from work. Every other way is flooded or the bridges have been completely wiped away. They don't have water at present either.
Love the books! I have several others by her.

I like your tea set and agree that I like the little gift shop a whole lot better then the food. I was with Sue last week and she said that you and I live very close so perhaps we can meet for lunch one day in V's after the waters receed. Can you believe what a total mess it is out there? Mother Nature wanted us to know she means business this Fall!

Hi Manuela….did you make it through all the rain…We had power out yesterday for hours…a huge tree came down of Shallowford taking line with it…we finally gave in and went out to get gas for the generator and by the time we got back the power was back one…atleast the lawn got a good watering….I love your little acorn tea set…very cute and yes, Craker Barrel has a great gift shop it is better then the food…speaking of food Brusters/Nathan's by Town Center is out of business…that was a shock….
from one Georgia girl to another—stay dry and stay safe. Love your blog. Just came across it!
I hope you and your family are not flooded out! I like Susan Branch but don't have any of her books. This one looks lovely!
Happy Fall, Manuela, the acorn tea set is very beautiful!!!
The book looks adorable. Great giveaway!!!
I love apple pie cake.
Hugs

Your home is looking rather fallish. Love those Little House books too. My favorite is Farmer Boy (is that the name?) It's the one about Laura's husband as a little boy. I read all those books as a little girl before the TV program and still get them out occasionally for old times sake. Mimi
I would LOVE to win the book. Beautiful Fall decorations! Thanks for sharing!~

Wow – apple pie cake – you're torturing me! We used to make something similar with cherry pie filling, or other fruit fillings, and we called it "Dump Cake". Linda
I love Susan Branch's artwork.
Your recipe looks really tasty and easy, too. I'm in the mood for something apple.
The tea set is Amazing. So beautiful and whimsical! I love fall and fall decor, and your set is perfect, as is the book you're offering. 🙂

Wonderful recipe, wonderful photos, awesome Autumn giveaway.
I love autumn. Thanks for giving me some wonderful ideas. I'm happy to have stumbled upon your blog!
I live in GA too, but I can't find it in me to pull out any fall decorations yet, it is just too hot! Maybe the party will inspire me!
I love Susan Branch books and I
love reading your blog. Hope you're
not flooding at your house.
Maybe fall will arrive in the south
next week, we can hope.

I'm a follower on Google Reader! I love your blog! You are a great decorator!
Your autumn display looks so welcoming! I finally got my few fall decorations out yesterday. Unfortunately one of our pear blossom trees in our park strip has died, so I'm thinking cutting some of the branches and displaying them in a fall container.
Ya'll aren't under water are you?!? I saw the Atlanta area on the news this morning. They showed one of the rollercoasters at six flags under water. Crazy!
It's been raining here for about 2 weeks and they say we've gotten 6-12 inches so far. Soon we might be able to canoe around town 🙂
The Susan Branch book is beautiful.
Happy Fall!
Happy Autumn Manuela! I LOVE that tea set, of course most anything to do with Fall and acorns I love 🙂 Thanks for entering me in your giveaway! I love Susan branch too! The recipe sounds perfect with a nice cup of tea. Ahhh Autumn!

Hi Manuela,
Thank you for sharing a glimpse into your life. You are a blessing to me.
Thank you for holding this give away. I love Susan Branch and have trouble finding her books.
Paula
Hi, Manuela!
I love Susan Branch! I have one of her Christmas books, and I just love her art.
I will have to try that recipe. That sounds – and looks – yummy!
Happy Autumn!
Mary Lou
I'm ready for the crisp, glorious days of autumn! Love the acorn tea set. I just finished glittering some acorns I picked up in the yard. I put them in a bowl with some buckeyes and old keys – I'll add some small pumpkins this weekend. Happy Autumn!
I'm just going to have to climb up into the attic and get out the fall stuff – even though I tried to convince myself that I'm not energetic enough to decorate for fall this year, your beauty has inspired me – that and the children keep asking why we don't have the pumpkins out on the mantle this year! Thanks for all the lovely things you share Manuela!
THIS GIVE AWAY IS NOW CLOSED. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT ENTERED!
MANUELA
It's been a joy reading your blog, and I enjoy reading your new posts. Your acorn tea set is adorable. Your apple pie cake makes me want to go buy apples and bake one myself. Yummy! And the recipe book is such a generous gift. Thanks for the giveaway.
