A part of me feels like I missed out on fall this year because of the all the wedding busy-ness. But in the midst of unpacking and organizing, I was able to put out some fun fall items I have collected over the years to warm up our new home. I embellished a berry wreath with a string of fake leaves and tied on a beaded monogrammed “U”. Haystacks out on the porch…leftovers from the wedding. White pumpkins galore also from our wedding. Black gingham bows add a festive touch and tie everything together (no pun intended!). Dollar tree skulls nested among eggs. Filled a tray with some leaves and candles in coffee mugs to make my centerpiece have a boulder statement. We did not have any money in the budget this year for more fall decorations. I was a bit disappointed at first but then realized how much fun I had with my old stuff and finding ways to make it feel fresh and new with simple touches like ribbon. I am learning the harvest is plenty and I have much more than I could ever need. We got a whole bunch of beautiful white serving dishes that now have a home on top of the kitchen covers. I am in L-O-V-E. Little pumpkins and leaves nestled in between make for a perfect fall-ish touch. I love all the crisp oranges and reds of fall. It really warms up the house against all my white furniture. I also love incorporating candles. They add immediate warmth and a welcoming smell for all my fall guests.
