Editorial Review:

Amazon.com Review:
"Autumn is a season that lures us indoors, and shifts our focus from the garden, the pool, or the beach to the home." The magic and mystique of the fall season are splendidly captured in Carolyn Roehm's Fall Notebook: Garden, Hearth, Tradition, Home, a collection of recipes, crafts, entertainment tips, and garden projects. In her introduction to the book, Roehm--former fashion designer turned author--writes,

As a gardener, I feel a certain sadness as I am forced to break a bond that I have spent the spring and summer nurturing. Although it is easy for one to become nostalgic during this time, it is necessary to move forward because it is crucial to prepare for the long winter that lies ahead ... although those beautiful blooms are a long way off and we must put our garden to bed, we shift to a new buzz of life that is brought about by the gathering of family and friends under one roof for the holidays.

Arranged by individual plants--dahlias and chrysanthemums can be counted on for their late-fall showiness--as well as specific projects and festivities, including Halloween, bulb planting, and Thanksgiving, each chapter offers a host of ideas for savoring autumn's flavor through arts and crafts projects, practical gardening tips, succulent recipes, and creative entertaining advice. Celebrate Turkey day in style with elegant place cards--easily created with a rubber stamp and ecru stationary--that compliment lemon leaf, eucalyptus berry, and autumn-hued rose table arrangements, while a menu of poisson with rosemary and sage, potato and parsnip purée, and pumpkin soufflé--all clearly spelled out in Roehm's meticulous recipes--would make any family thankful. With full-color photographs, pockets for storing ideas and graph paper for planning--not to mention useful lists to help you organize events and gardening chores--the Fall Notebook is as glorious to look at as it is practical to use.

Product Description:

• A fall scrapbook of gardening methods, recipes, and tabletop designs.

Rating: - More a look at a socialite's lifestyle
As is true with all four books in this series, this "notebook" is beautifully photographed. Ms. Roehm's series does not offer much depth in any of the "categories" covered in the book-- gardening, hearth (whatever that is), etc. but does demonstrate her truly beautiful design sense, especially in floral arranging. The spiral-bound format, including pockets for the reader's own clippings, and the many blank pages for the reader's own notes are more gimmicky than helpful, and take up lots ... Read More

Rating: - Beautiful, extravagant photography
I love Fall -- it's my favorite season, so I wanted to love this book. I wasn't disappointed! The photos are sumptuous and gorgeous; the recipes are yummy and inspire thoughts of running straight to the kitchen; and the information about the flowers was truly informative. If you love Fall, you'll love this book.

Rating: - Better than Martha!
After years of searching through craft, decorating and gardening magazines and books, I finally found Martha (Stewart, that is). I never thought I could find another resource as innovative as her until I discovered Carolyn Roehm's seasons notebooks. The fall notebook is truly exciting. This is a book of inspiration, leading you to put your own spin on new ideas with halloween, thanksgiving, food, flowers, decorations and general entertaining and homekeeping. With help from the Fall Notebook, ... Read More
