Fall Decor

Finally, I have really started decorating for Fall. Until today, the only thing showing a hint of fall was the wreath on the door.

This morning a hung my pheasant feather wreath. I love this so much. It was made for me by my girlfriend. In the spot where the wreath is hanging there is usually a big, heavy mirror. The very substantial bolt that holds the mirror was showing, so I quickly made the glittery "BOO!" sign to at least camouflage it a bit.

Next, I made an arrangement with a small pumpkin, some yard gatherings, and decorative potpourri in my cloche. I think it turned out pretty well.

I need to set out my pumpkin collection, and get out the remaining Halloween items. Then this weekend, it's the front porch!

Cheers! Chris

Feels Like Fall!

Edited to Add: After consulting with my favorite team of design experts (you know who you are), I spent exactly 30 seconds rotating the wreath and it now exactly what I want!!

For the first time it actually "feels" like Fall! The weather is slightly cooler, mid 80's instead of low 90's. There are big fluffy white clouds in the sky, which is something we rarely see in summer. So now, I am actually feeling like getting out the fall decor.


One thing I needed was a new wreath for the front door. Last Saturday, my sister Jen & I were out running around. After I priced a few ready-made wreaths (yikes!), I picked up 1 grapevine wreath, 4 fall picks and 2 spools of ribbon at the craft store. The total cost was $23.53.


This morning I spent 30 minutes out in my shop. The results are at least presentable. Might get a bit of tweeking...

Time to get out the glass pumpkin collection and the pheasant feather wreath too!
