I guess Fall has arrived

Created By My Colonial Home

Fall is here but last week the temperatures have said different….but this week…FALL.  Crisp in the morning but sunny and then it warms up a bit by noon and the rest of the day.

Well – I first want to say thank  you to all those that purchased my Sweet Potato garlands and Gourd garlands.  The minute I posted it on FB they went!!!!
I only wish I had more supplies to make more but I guess that will wait until I go to PA again to buy more gourds.

So on with Fall – the decorating here is minimal – but I guess I have come to like it that way. Inside the house there are little touches here and there – just looking around a room it is subtle, it doesn’t jump out.
I think my Christmas decorating is going to be that way as well this year.

My husband did the outside this year. I talked him into buying us a bale of straw for in front of the screen room and he actually said yes!
I think he did an excellent job of placing things.

Front of screen room

We did some things to the back door bench but it’s not finished yet.  Still need some Mums and Pumpkins.

Here are a few of the inside.

And that’s all she wrote!
Thanks for stopping by and hope you come back for my next post.

    Exactly the kind of fall decorating I like - no garish JOLs and monsters and skeletons - just soothing, tasteful beauty. I especially like that trencher with the pumpkins & gourds. Love it all!

    Beautiful touches of fall Karen! Your hubby did a wonderful display! I loved it all but the turkey and corn with the 3 pumpkins really caught my eye! I haven't put anything out yet ~ still trying to catch up after my fall shows.
    When are you going to PA???
    Thanks for sharing all the splendor!
    Many Blessings

    Very nice..,especially the hay bale!! I see a couple ideas to that will work in my house like the pumpkin in the wooden bowl with miss & bittersweet twined around. I have my penny rug made by YOU on my coffee table & stare at it many times a day....I just LOVE it!!! Thanks for the pumpkin your!!

    Your home is so lovely. The simpler the better has become my mantra. This year I did not pull one box out of the attic! I like the natural touches...pumpkins, gourds and bittersweet. There are many things in life we cannot control...stressing out over decorating is not one of them!!!

    Normally I would have decorated for fall and Thanksgiving by now, but my decorations seem to be MIA in the bonus room somewhere. Maybe I can find them this weekend. Your beautiful decorations have inspired me.

    Looks so pretty Karen and Doug did an awesome job. I have only stuck some mums and a pumpkin on the new deck. Nothing out front, but will take care of that when I get home from the beach. As always, I enjoyed my visit

    I'd say you did a bit more decorating than just here and there.. Everything looks wonderful. I'm going to refer back to your Fall decorations next year if you don't mind.
    I think my Christmas décor will be minimal this year.
    Doug did a wonderful job with his contributions of Fall décor.
    Take care.

    For some reason Karen, your comment on my blog came as a no reply blogger. In answer to your question, the cupboard is $350. Janice

      Morning - I am baffled by the no-reply...I have been reading up on how to change it but all my settings are correct - I just don't know what else to do.
