This is so nice. I don’t think you know how calming you are. In this world of going fast, you bring a lovely calm.

I make that type of arrangement every year to give to neighbors. I save tin cans during the year and put that in the center to hold water. Putting a thin layer of petroleum jelly on the outside extends the life of the pumpkin after I soak them in water with a small amount of bleach. I make 15-20 every Fall. Hope this helps

You are funny, kind, and real. Don't ever change!

You are incredibly soothing - a treasure in a noisy chaotic world

My Sunday just got better 🍁🍁🍂🍂🎃

As I agree with you as to getting your fingers all messy when making scones, I highly recommend a pastry blender. Not only does the butter not warm up with the touch of your fingers, there's no mess to you and the ingredients get combined as they should be. I even put my pastry blender in the freezer a little bit prior to using it. Scones come out best when all of the ingredients are cool. I've been doing this for years with much success.

I think the short pumpkin and the very fall colors of the roses are perfect. A taller pumpkin would leave guests trying to see around it when looking across the table.

I love your "ew" when scooping the pumpkin innards. The arrangement is beautiful. And....NICE SWEATER!

A little appreciation comment. Thank you Nicolas. I watch these videos while i fill my agenda on monday mornings. LOVE the calming voice and sweet ideas to make a home, to pay attention to detail, to make one's life special by DOING little things, not just buying stuff. You´re wonderful

The pumpkin looks beautiful. Another easy craft you can do is to just draw your house number on a pumpkin then get the gold or silver thumb tacks and push them in. You don’t even empty the pumpkin so they last longer. Put it at your front door and your done. I always get compliments on mine.

Be sure and roast those pumpkin seeds! They are delicious!!!

I love the idea of a pumpkin as a vase!

Trial and/or error 😉👍🇺🇸🎃 Plus you can bake pumpkin seeds w/favorite seasoning !! TFS 🍂🍁

Nicolas, thank you for this elegant yet relaxed time with you. One tip if you don't like touching the flour and butter with your hands: Crisscross 2 butter knives and put them into the flour and butter. Pull them apart repeatedly until the butter is in small pieces and mixed well with the flour. In baking terms they call it cutting butter into flour.

Nicolas, thank you for another heart-warming, soothing, and enjoyable video. I like the continuation of your autumn theme, along with your excellent choice of music. You are so genuine and authentic with everything you do. You encourage others to work outside their comfort zones. You are adventurous with trying new things and taking risks in front of your audience. You are a "gift" to others. All the best from New York, Robert.

CALMING !! INTERESTING !! THANK YOU 😊

You touching squiggie things is hilarious! Fun video 😊

Your content is so calming, and a balm in the sometimes all-consuming negativity of the online world. Your channel gives me hope for a return to normalcy and decency. Thank you.

Nice to see the warm bit of colour from the arrangement complimenting the soft glow of the lampshades . Lifts the spirits .😁

This was wonderful. I especially like the idea of cheese scones. A few tips for you: use a glass jar inside the pumpkin (or even trim down a plastic disposable water bottle). I do this inside a chinoiserie ginger jar when I use it as a vase. Rose stems are supposed to be trimmed whilst submerged completely in a dish of water. This prevents the freshly cut edge from drying out and preventing water absorption. Don’t hate me - used to work in the flower industry. P.S. I have seen that book and love it too.

Beautiful shades of orange, yellow and red.

I have a quiet deliberate mind that gets cluttered and rushed by the more chaotic fast paced ones around me. Your videos make me feel like myself again.

My God, ❤ this is so healthy for my Soul, Your Music, Your Voice, the Flowers in the Pumpkin, soooo nice! Thank you so much! ❤️

I am in love with Nicolas ❤️

This is a wonderful idea I’ve done it many times , and yes inserting a vase or container in the center helps so much better ❤️

I just love how you made the sounds while mixing. I love your personality 🤗😀

Beautiful autumnal centerpiece; it really complements your table-scape perfectly. Maybe using a small plastic take-out container instead of the foil lining might work better ... just a thought.

The big pumpkin arrangement with smaller pumpkins is like the Mothership landing! Lovely table setting.

Nicolas as always it's been a pleasure to spend time with you. Feel like I'm visiting an old friend. Cheers!

I simply adore you. You have a keen eye for details and you’re a super smart and creative genius. I can’t wait to see what you do next. Stay well!

You are such a good host! Beautiful and cozy video. The scones and soup look good. Love the pumpkin arrangement, never thought of that! Thanks and have a lovely week!

I was quite content until I saw your scones!! Now, I'll never be happy until I make them. I'm going to serve them with my delicious shrimp and grips next weekend , as I am having guests. Also, your table is a thing of beauty! Love the roses in the pumpkin. My favorite item you have is the nesting hen on your kitchen counter. Too, too cute! Thank you for the fun video. Barbara Brunson

Such a relaxing and wholesome video 🍂

Never have I seen a pumpkin used in this way, how beautiful it looked on the table 😍 Cheese scones...yes please! Have a wonderful new week darlin. Lots of love from Las Vegas✨✨✨✨

hello , aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh , a cozy day share with you , just what is needed🥰🥰🥰🥰the table setting and scones look delicious..........great share , thank you , for sharing and please keep 'em coming😉😉😉😊😊😊....

Oh Nicholas!! The scones look perfect! The pumpkin vase, who knew!! The flowers were a colorfully matching addition!! Well, as always lovely spending this time with u!!💕💕🦋🦋💕💕

Simply lovely. Thank you, Nicolas. Hope you are feeling much better. ❤❤❤

Nicolas love xx you gave me the joy to see this pumpkin flower centerpieces. Excellent thanks for letting me know. Also l loved your cooking. I love your hair and how you reacted when you were doing the scones with cheese delicious. Love your serving silver platter when eating . Nicely done Nicolas. Well done Nicolas love xx. Take care.🍮🍮🍮🌲🌲🌲❤️❤️❤️💐💐💐💐

I love your table, so elegant and festive. I enjoy doing the traditional proper decor in my younger years. I taught my daughter, she also at age of 8 attended a tea at the local bed and breakfast and they taught them about setting a table and making afternoon tea. She is now grown up and enjoy these things. It was lovely! I so enjoy your show! Thank you for sharing.

The pumpkin vase turned out beautiful. I’m certainly going to try this. Turning ingredients into breadcrumbs is my worst nightmare, I start off well and then it never happens probably because I need to stop and enjoy the moment but crikey it takes so long. Thank you for another peaceful, enjoyable, inspirational video x

Love how you are so elegant yet at the same time you are real, like the rest of us.

Love the pumpkin flower arrangement and perfect for Fall!!

That’s beautiful, I did the same arrangement but I used a plastic container to retain the water. Thank you for your video ❤

An amazing video Nocolas. Loved it and so varied, delicious cheese scones that I haveen wanting to make for ages. Then a beautiful book. You keep us enchanted every week with your invitation for us to join you in your home and neighborhood. The pumpkin is so sweet.

Sunday evenings with Nicolas 🤗 your cheese scones look amazing and the pumpkin vase is excellent. Great job 💜

Love the pumpkin 🎃 vase idea and those scones looked amazing, thanks for sharing.

Soy mexicana pero amo los scones! esta receta me encantó, muy sencilla. Gracias 🙂 y por supuesto la calabaza con esas rosas amarillas hicieron que tu mesa luciera espectácular.

Flower pumpkin is fantastic idea for the autumn decoration! It is not a new one ( as they say in their comments), but the way you give life to the fall in your house takes me back to England - the country I love dearly; everything you do in this video is really heart warming! Thank you so much! Hope this idea will bring something English to my house in Belarus... Have a good week, my friend!

Lovely vlog Nicolas! Your pumpkin centrepiece turned out well and looked so pretty on your dining table. Soup and cheesy herb scones-delicious! Thanks for a relaxing visit on a beautiful fall day🙏🏻❤️

Hi Nicolas thanks for sharing this delightful video. Such a beautiful floral display & delicious looking cheese scones - they are a favourite of mine though I never thought to have them with soup before, I will now! I enjoy your calm voice & unhurried manner. Take care x

My neighbour who is training to be a florist, made me a display of flowers inside a pumpkin, it is beautiful, if I knew how to send a photo I would. Lovely vlog and I loved your pumpkin display xx

Hello Nicolas ☀️ just what I was waiting for, relaxing time with my good friend 🎃 🍁 🍃

Viewing your video is just like an hour of therapy, especially in these times, thank you so much 😊 ❤

You are so pure and real. Keep it coming

Thank You Nicolas!! This is a pretty terrific idea but I think you should have cooked this pumpkin and made the soup recipe on your website. This pumpkin with its deep red-orange flesh is great for soups. We eat this variety here in NYC [and North East US] in the Fall and Winter months. This variety is also great roasted in the oven with cinnamon , nutmeg and honey and toast the seeds as well. FYI: if the pumpkin is labeled as "organic", its' highly likely it can be eaten. There are pumpkins that cannot be eaten so easily that this design idea can used for. Cheers and Hugs from NYC!!!

Your voice is so calming. My father just passed away last Wed and in the midst of trying to handle his affairs I'm watching you to keep me calm.

The pumpkin vase with the roses is beautiful and an original idea for my autumn table. The cheese scones look delicious.

Stunning tablescape

Wow Nicolas, I love your courage in always trying something new, the pumpkin vase came out beautifully! I love the shade of roses you chose, perfect for autumn, a colour that makes one think of deep friendship and joy. The cheese scones with soup was a brilliant idea, you set the table so well for yourself, I'm inspired. Thank you too for taking us to that beautiful book store, I'm happy that there are people who enjoy going through a physical book as much as I do, it was so enchanting to peruse through it with you

Opened youtube with your video right when I heated a bowl of soup for dinner. What a lovely timing for a cosy Sunday evening.

A cozy day with you sounds delightful!! 🥰

Nicolas thank you for this fantastic episode!

I love how you are so willing to mix dough by hand knowing full well that it's not your favorite thing to do! If you are ever interested, I have a simple recipe for rosemary drop biscuits that my family just loves!

Looks like a lovely and cozy Autumn day.

Always calming and brilliant...your elegance is captivating!

Every thing you do seems to work out and be pretty amazing!

With pleasure, just putzing around in the kitchen! Homemade bread and lentil soup on the stove . Good Sunday to you Nicholas.🙏🇨🇦🙏

Greetings Nicolas! Your video was awesome, waiting for me to watch when I got back from Church. This morning was a little something different for my wife's Sunday School class. For an example of answered Prayer, she took in "Dude" our kitten, who was returned to us by awesome golfers from the local Golf Course last month. Dude had stowed away under my Brother In Law's car, and went missing for a day and a half. The children were thrilled by the rescue story. Love your Channel! A 🇨🇦

It's a French variety pumpkin called a Cinderella pumpkin! Looks great!!!

Nice yummy ! Pumpkin flower vase with orange rose was so satisfying and colourful treat to my eyes 😇🎉

I love the way you have used the warm autumn colours for your table setting. Using a pumpkin as a container for your beautiful yellow and red roses was successful. Quite unique and very effective. I am definately going to make your cheese scones. They look yummy. 😋

Nicolas, you are a shining example to all of us, young and more mature ☺️ on how to slow down and enjoy moments of life. And I will recommend your videos to my family and my students. The English you use and your pronunciation are ...exquisite and so sophisticated in the best meaning of these notions 🤗 Also the remarks and the sounds that you make are hillarious 😍 I'm so grateful to you for this treat 🥰

So festive yet elegant! Thank you darling for going the extra mile!

Thank you for this lovely vlog - your flower arrangement, and Autumn centre piece for your dining table, are beautiful as always. Your cheese scones look soooo delicious, and your soup devine! Happy Autumn day, from Devon, England. Warm loving hugs coming your way. xxx

Thank you Nicolas, it was another fun and delightful time with you. Thank you for making my Sunday cozy and warm! ;-)

Nicolas---another informative program on how to live simply but elegantly. The success of your channel is not only your calm, engaging personality, but the originality of the idea for the program,. You've got no competition. Keep up the good work. Regards from the States.

Beautiful video for a nice Easy Sunday 😊

"It's going in quite nicely... which is a good thing" 😜 I love a cheeky innuendo.

Nicholas your pumpkin centerpiece looked beautiful. Good job!

The pumpkin "flower vase" looks fabulous on the table. Very nice.🎃

Great episode as usual but you make such few videos now and today I missed angel Sophie soooo much…..

Flower arrangement looks good the cheese scones reminded me of my grandmother enjoy

Here in Quebec City the weather was amazing 20 degrees……had a long walk in the beautiful fall color’s….so relaxing….this video is the cherry on the top….thanks Nicolas …..xoxo

Today is best 👍 I love every thing Thanks for sharing your beautiful moment Have a wonderful day. Beautiful.

A very delightful visit. Thank you Nicholas 🥰

oh what a lovely pumpkin! in the US especially NE, they are everywhere at this time of year in any size and color. make sure to put something under it if set on a table.

You are such a joy to watch. Bringing beauty into everyday life is what you do! Even your funny noises when putting your hands in dough made me smile. I bought myself a glass jar just to keep my laundry soap flakes in and lol I think of you when I use it and say to myself beauty in a simple moment.

You really have a beautiful spirit. Thank you for helping to make life more beautiful! I really enjoy your content. 😍

I'm watching thinking "he is just too good to be true....everything he does is so elegant" and then "eeeek ekkkkk eeeeekkk" with the flour. I laughed. You truly are so nice to watch.

Nicolas, thank you for another great vlog! The pumpkin "vase" turned out great and looked beautiful on your dining table! Your reaction to mixing up the scones made me smile, and the Paris book has been added to my list of books to purchase! Thank you for sharing your day of good things with your followers!

You’re adorable! I love the giggles!!! ☺️

I like the addition of this pumpkin & roses.

Love cozy time of the year, special with you

Here is another way to do the natural pumpkin vase…I hollow it out like you did, then make the opening large enough to hold a small leftovers plastic bowl, that way the water doesn’t rot out the pumpkin as fast… Another type pumpkin arrangement I like to make is from succulents. For this I use a plastic planting pot that slips in the pumpkin all the way. Fill the pot with cactus soil and add a multitude of succulents…including ones that cascade down the pumpkin. When done with arrangement, you still have live succulents to use in other ways…

One of your best videos! Simply loved it. Especially your verbal reaction to the butter. The arrangement was fab! The food made me ravenous. Have a great week.

Can’t beat a cheesy scone. If you hate the feel of mixing the butter I agree with the other comments use a food processor up to the fine breadcrumb stage then continue making the rest by hand. Love the seasonal table decoration. I have a large shallow bowl on my coffee table, I call it my nature bowl it gets filled with different items depending on the season. Sometimes it holds pine cones dried flower petals and leaves, beautiful feathers that I find on walks. When summer comes around I might change it to a seascape. Shells driftwood, seaweed etc. People love to sit and pick up the items I collect and examine them. It really puts you in the mood for the season. ❤

I wish you all best things!!! 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤

this kind of pumpkin is good for eating, cooking

Nicolas the idea of using a pumpkin as base for flowers arrangement is so different and artistic thank you I enjoy it a lot. Going to use it for my table center and baking the cheese scones the cherry on top. Again thank you.

Hi Nicholas, wishing you well. Loved the idea of a pumpkin 🎃 vase. Makes a good centre piece. I love the colour of the inside of the 🎃 beautiful orange. I love Scones especially when there homemade. We have Scones for breakfast. I love the Calmness you bring in the video. Take care.
