Surrounded by crisp air and the vibrant hues of nature’s paintbox, we welcome this autumnal issue with open arms. An ode to all things vintage flows through these pages—from homes in Virginia and Georgia bedecked in heirloom pieces to a jaunt through a beloved Alabama antiques store. Heartwarming repasts take place in cozy nooks and fireside locales, offering plenty of spiced delights to enjoy this harvest season. We journey to the Primland Resort, a bucolic château tucked into the Blue Ridge Highlands. The Southern C founders and contributing editors Cheri Leavy and Whitney Long invite us along for their ideal trip to Round Top, Texas, to peruse the miles of antiques and delicious dining options. Through the bevvy of pumpkins, gourds, and pine cones alike, draw inspiration from the abundant bounty of these enchanting months.
