Gathering Palettes

Hello! What a beautiful, color-full autumn it's been around here. Each season offers its special blend of hues and before it got too late, i zipped outside at lunchtime today and gathered some palettes for future inspiration. From yellows...
... to oranges, blues, greens ...
... to reds ...
... to purples, salmons, pinks and deep burgundy.
If i'm not actually picking colorful things from outdoors, i often document what i see through photographs. When i'm looking to create palettes for design projects, these photos serve as an inspiring starting point for me to build from.
They're not only filled with colors that caught my eye, but also with textures, shapes and memories.
How do you gather palettes for your projects or home?
Have a beautiful weekend!
xo,
Kate
P.S.: Thanks to so many of you for your generous outpouring of love and support for Roscoe! I'm happy to report that he is home and improving by the day.

Three ladies of our garden

I slipped outside in between rain clouds today because I didn't want to miss taking pictures of the three beloved ladies who reside in our garden: Gertrude Jekyll, Betty Corning and Mrs. Cholmondeley
(pronounced, if you can believe it, "Chumley"). They all happen to be blooming simultaneously this year...a sight to behold! The only thing I wish I could also include in this post is the intoxicatingly sweet, citrusy fragrance of good ol' Gertie.
If only there were scratch and sniff blogs...
