Fall makes me happy.

…and pumpkins make me even happier.

Have you started decorating for fall?

I get so excited and want to start Sept. 1.

It’s hard to find pumpkins as early as September One, and I love to decorate with real pumpkins!!

So every year, I start with a few things here and there, and I’m always still wrapping things up mid-September when pumpkins become available.

I am picky about pumpkins too.  I am looking for a variety of sizes, shapes, and colors.

I also love pumpkins with fun stems, the mini pumpkins are a must, and don’t even get my started on the Cinderella pumpkins.

Those cute little pumpkins that look like they have been smashed flat.  There really is nothing cuter.

I enjoy decorating my porch as much or sometimes even more than the inside.

 

Pumpkins, Cabbages, and Mums are a must for outdoor decorating in the fall.  It was time to take out all my summer flowers and give my pots a little fall love.

Being outside in the fall is among one of may favorite things to do.  Sitting right there on those rocking chairs in the evening; there really is nothing better.

Once I get everything I want, I love to move things around, and around, and around.

I call it puttering around the house, and that is my favorite thing to do.

It is so fun to mix and match, and design and change.

I took these pictures just yesterday, and it’s been changed and added to since then.

So here it is for NOW or as of YESTERDAY; and probably how it won’t be TOMORROW.

So is here is our Abode this fall all tricked out with pumpkins, mums, banners, and love; enjoy the massive amount of photos.

You know how I feel about seeing all the details.

Happy Fall Y’all!

A few fun facts:

I made the fall banner this year with gold glitter felt found at Hobby Lobby, doilies from Michaels, and gold glitter pinecones from the $$ section at Michaels.  It is all hot glued together on twine.

All of the gold pumpkins came from the $$ tree.  They were little ugly ceramic pumpkins that I spray painted gold and made adorbs.

Sometimes I make my own printables, this year I borrowed.  Find this cute hello fall print here.

…and the little print in the gold frame …that is my baby(when she was actually my baby), with a favorite quote. 

Hey, I know it’s not October, but she is my October baby so I really love that month. Plus, the picture has pumpkins in it, and you know how I feel about pumpkins.

P.S. I am swooning over gold, and I just think it makes for a beautiful fall accent.

So go out and buy some gold spray paint, and get to sprayin.

oh,and I’ll say it again, only because I lived in Arkansas for 4 years and now I’m part Southern:

Happy Fall Y’all!
