An Autumn Welcome
Dans le silence des jours raccourcis, une tasse chaude devient un havre pour l’âme.
In Vancouver, autumn arrives with a gentle hush, threading mist through the cedar boughs. The air grows crisp and cool, laced with the scent of damp earth and the sweet undertone of apples from nearby orchards. Leaves settle onto streets in shades of amber and russet, while markets overflow with the season’s bounty: pumpkins in muted shades of clay and cream, knotted squashes bearing summer’s memory, and pears with a soft, polished gleam.
This is a time of quiet abundance, where the earth offers its harvest with a steady hand. The days shorten, and the light softens, casting a warm glow over homes and tables. Kitchen fill with the aroma of mulled cider and nutmeg-scented pumpkin bread, while dahlias in their final bloom stand alongside branches and gourds, their colours deepening the room’s warmth.
The cup hums with spice and carries comfort to the heart
To linger at an autumn table is to embrace a sense of comfort and connection. Linens drape softly, their texture echoing worn cotton, and the flicker of candles illuminates a space adorned with forest finds. Laughter rises as rain taps on the roof, and the stories unfold, drawing people closer. Autumn moves at its own pace, inviting a pause to savour the richness of the season and the simple joy of being together.
