The Last Loveliest Smile

The breeze blows cool through the dry leaves and gone are the warm days that linger into the evening. This is a time for gathering friends around the fire pit, roasting hearty root vegetables and lighting candles as the daylight fades earlier and earlier. The sandals and flip-flops take their place in the closet and out come the boots and warm slippers. The linens go from cool and light to warm and weighty. It's fall, and it's a wonderful fleeting season with many occasions to prepare our homes and our landscapes for the impending winter. 

The Market at Grelen's fall favorites begin outside. Whether you have a patio, terrace, yard or garden, a fire pit is a welcomed addition to any hardscape. Creating a focal point and a gathering place for family and friends, the cool dark evenings are welcomed in with a warm fire and personal conversations, away from the hub-bub of daily responsibilities and the tether of technology. The convenience and ease of a fire pit at your home adds loads of charm, without loads of labor. Settle in and enjoy.

Fall landscaping and garden prep includes everything from planting mums and bulbs, trimming trees, cleaning out the leftover bits of summer annuals, and enjoying the warm hues as the leaves change. Fall gardening is one of our favorite times as the heat is no longer oppressive and the harvest of fruits, vegetables and squashes are some of the most prolific. We love to be able to work in the yard, run errands, and enjoy a casual dinner without having to make a wardrobe change. Luckily, the ever appropriate Dubarry boot, fits the bill for keeping our feet warm, dry, and on trend. The Market carries the complete line of Dubarry boots for both men and women, and if you haven't tried a pair yet, you won't regret owning this classic design in both form and function.

Autumn gatherings and social functions, like the recent Montpelier Hunt Races at our neighboring Montpelier, are the perfect opportunity to try new recipes, haul our our favorite serving pieces and table linens, and delve into the wide spectrum of available Virginia wines. At the Market at Grelen, we love helping our customers find that special piece that becomes a family heirloom, the casual or elegant linens from whimsical pumpkin prints to formal Holiday designs, and the perfect Virginia red wine with a depth of flavors as wide ranging as the colors of the leaves.
