September is transition and what better way than with your home’s decor from summer to fall. Even those of us living in warmer climates, a small shift can help us get into the fall mood.

These blooms have the best characteristics of both seasons and will look great with a variety of decor styles. They also represent hope and warmth. Here are a few suggestions on how you can put sunflowers to use in your home. 
Say hello to September and the exciting experiences that await! Allow yourself to transform as the seasons transform and, in the process, teach us that it is all part of nature’s flow. Here’s to an abundant new month! We are grateful to walk this journey with you.
