Feels like Fall

Not only did I dig out the Fall deco this weekend but the temperatures have chilled and feel like Fall as well – 60’s today and low 40’s for the overnight.  But I love it!  Fall is by far my favorite time of year to experience and decorate for.

A few of my decos….

I’m really pleased with how these two outside arrangements turned out.  I’ve had the containers out for summer the last couple of years.  The flowers had faded and they were looking a tad shabby and not in a chic way.  I replaced the flowers, changed the greenery and added pumpkins.  I love re-doing things I already have.

I decorate with the basics – berries and pumpkins.  I try and keep it simple for the most part.

I found this little sign at a craft show on Saturday.  It pretty much sums up how I feel.  I really am blessed in so many ways.  Of course, there are days it will be nice to have this little plaque as a reminder.

I don’t remember having white pumpkins around when I was a child, do you?  I sure like them now though.

    I usually don't decorate. I used to. Your home looks very warm and inviting. Thanks for sharing.

    Louie and I went for a ride today...with sweatshirts and spring jackets. Just right for riding, because the sun was out. We put on 100 miles. I did come home with cold feet though. Crazy weather!

    I especially love the first arrangement hanging from the outdoor light. I am not as crafty as you but would love to try something like that for my house. I love the fall-its my favorite season.
