omewhere between the buzz of Indian S Summer locusts and the deafening silence of

new fallen snow is a fleeting, exhilarating bliss known as Autumn. It arrives in radiant splendour, summoning our primal urges to feather our nests. The aroma of coffee and soup is more enticing and we find a hundred ways to savour an apple. Cords of seasoned hickory are stacked outside in anticipation of a roaring hearth as we greet the longer nights with cozy bedclothes. The moon demands more attention, luring us into a state of Halloween lunacy. Masquerade (Costumerie p.30-31) and ghost stories (p.23) appease our hunger for intrigue. We stock up on candles sensing the dramatic excitement that rivals the energy of those scurrying bushy tails.

Exquisite embroidery meanders upon a tea-hued tulle gown. The tapered waist is cinched with vintage-quality grosgrain ribbon as the chemise cascades in graceful, gathered poufs towards the toes. Sheer chiffon vertical sashes and petticoat hem. #25009 S-XL. $199.95 ($236. value) 1X-3X. $239.95 ($284. value) P earl Necklace . #24401 $129.95 (view additional images online)

Keeper of the Castle C a n d l e h o l d e r A demure silhouette is led down a dark hallway by a flickering candle. Stamped iron with a rustic patina. #25176 $19.95 ($40. retail)

Rest assured in knowing that this is the fourteenth consecutive year that we will donate ten percent of the catalog profit to charities assisting women and children in need. Mother Nature smiles upon our support of environmental agencies and conscientious efforts to conserve in every aspect. Always, we strive to preserve both the splendoured past and a beautiful future.

Stroll through these pages as though immersed in Vermont woods come October!
