The light through our windows is now decidedly golden when it's not grey, and so autumn is in full swing. 

Golden yellows are all around at this time of year – pears in a bowl in the kitchen, end-of-summer flowers, and last year's winter slippers, back in service again. 

This little needlework brooch was a present from Lizzy last weekend – the tiniest little bouquet of flowers for my autumn cardigan.

3 things I've been enjoying this weekend:

Making (and eating) this simple salad
Becoming immersed in The Secret River by Kate Grenville
Listening to the new album by Father John Misty, Pure Comedy

I hope you've had a good weekend, wherever you are in the world.

    I love the brooch too. Did Lizzie make it? I checked her website but showed only paintings? Cheers.

    Hi Melissa – I am loving autumn too & all the golds at this time of year. Usually I get all caught up in raking leaves & trying to tidy up … but this year I am just enjoying it. That dainty brooch is just so delicate & beautiful.
