Hello and welcome to the Hearth and Soul Link Party where we celebrate all the wonderful things that feed the soul. Are you enjoying this wonderful season, especially these lovely September days?
I certainly am. I’m travelling at the moment, so I’ve been able to experience September in lots of different places so far, including Southern England, the Midlands, Northern California and Texas. September is one of those months that seems to be beautiful everywhere I go!
At the Hearth and Soul Link Party, you can share blog posts old and new, about anything that feeds the soul. This includes – but is not limited to – family, home, recipes, decorating, crafts, DIY, travel, organisation, book reviews, the arts and self improvement.
What’s Been Happening on the Blog
This year, September days are exciting with the release of the long awaited Downton Abbey movie.
Are you planning to see the new movie? Make it even more fun by Dining Downton Style with friends!
In celebration of September days, I’m sharing my favourite ways to Freshen Up Your Home For Fall with easy tips to brighten your home for the season to come.
Food-wise, it’s all about comforting sweet spice with my Spicy Mango Chicken Recipe. You can easily adjust the spicing to suit your personal tastes.
Thank you to you all for your support of the Hearth and Soul Link Party, and for visiting and sharing each week.

April thank you so much for hosting and for the feature. I am living my best life now that I am in New York and the fall weather is here.
It’s a pleasure, Mary. I’m sorry, I wasn’t sure whether you were now based in New York or not. I’m so glad that you are happy there! Happy Fall! 🙂
Hi April~
Thank you for hosting & I have to say, the Hydrangea in your Freshen Up Your Home For Fall photo is stunning! This week I’ve shared #19, our Pineapple Salsa recipe that is soooo good as well as our families recipe for an amazing Pumpkin Bred with #20.
Have a beautiful week & enjoy your travels!
Thank you so much, Suzan! My florist, Emma of Green Parlour, made that arrangement. I was so taken with that hydrangea! Your recipes sound delicious; I look forward to them. I hope you have a beautiful week too!

Thank you for hosting! This is what was served during the week 9-9- to 9-13 in my home. On Tuesday morning was Pumpkin Pancakes with Cinnamon Mousse. Wednesday we served a delicious Pumpkin Spiced French Toast Amaretto Sauce. Wrapping up this first pumpkin week in Michigan we enjoyed a No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake. Enjoy!
