Melissa over at The Inspired Room had a party last week.
And, I'm just now arriving.
I don't know about you, but I break my Fall decorating into three segments.
In September, I pull out just a few things to bring in the new season.
Then, in October, I add in a few Halloween decorations to appease my kids.
And, lastly, in November, I add in some more Fall goodness to celebrate Thanksgiving.
{I try to drag this season out as long as humanly possible, since it's my favorite.}
I keep it simple.
Fall wreath on the front door. check.
Fall flag out front declaring to the world that it's Fall. check.
White pumpkins in my antique dough bowl in the dining room. check.
Indian corn in a glass vase with a bag of nuts on the dining room table. check.
My glass lamp in the family room filled to the brim with pine cones. check.
The apothecary jars filled with a couple more bags of nuts in the foyer. check.
My homemade gourd made by Mrs. Fouts, our sweet neighbor in Georgia, in the foyer. check.
And, last but certainly not least,
I basically buy out the Mulled Cider candles from Walmart,
and I light them every single day until Thanksgiving.
I'm also linking up with these fantastic blogs:

Oh, I love fall. I love the colors and the cooler air. I think your decoration timetable is perfect, I should start thinking about putting a few things out now. Thanks for the beautiful pics of your warm house. My favorite is the lamp with the pinecones!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful!! I love all your special touches. This makes me want to start some fall decorating this week.
ReplyDeleteLovin it all! Those white pumpkins are on my list ~ so pretty. I bought mums for the window boxes yesterday pulled out some fall decorations. It's chilly in the 60's here so I may have to treat myself to a pumpkin latte after school ;)
