Summary: Puts You in a Harvest Mood
Review: From the honey-gold cover with a picture of floating apple candles set amongst pumpkins and fallen leaves, to the carmel tone-on-tone jacket borders and pages, this book is a feast for the eyes. There are none of Lynette's usual quilting projects or instructions, just photograph after luscious photograph of terrific fall decorating and entertaining ideas. The book consists of only three chapters entitled "September Morning", "October Gold" and "November Dusk", aptly named for the beginning, middle and end of the season. Of the many ideas presented, I enjoyed seeing how Lynette uses collectibles to make a personal statement, as well as how to use dried hydrangea and yarrow for beautiful floral accents, and edibles in your decorating scheme. The ideas for tablescapes were also inspiring, as well as my favorite - the big, stuffed swag Lynette uses to decorate her mantel. I intend to make one just like this for my own fireplace. AUTUMN ACCENTS is sure to provide many "ah-ha's" for readers searching for ideas on how to put the finishing touches on their seasonal decorating. Some ideas are more practical than others, but for me, the entire book was pure autumn inspiration. Cris Cunningham
