fall day

Over the weekend I visited the site where Mike and I got married, it was a beautiful fall day and the sky was so blue, so I decided to take a couple of pics of the tree.

happy tuesday!

pumpkin head

happy halloween

pretty corny

saturday night a couple of us went to a corn maze right by our house. we got a flag and a map and told to have some fun and NOT to throw corn. :) we had to search for 12 mailboxes through out the maze to complete our map. it was a lot of fun, next year we are going to have a contest...maybe guys against the ladies to see who makes it out first!

yum

mmm...apples!! fresh from the farm!!

front door decorating

The last part of my fall decorating is inside my front door. I made a fallish looking wreath, added a garland above and a cute little sign to complete it!

Hope you enjoyed my fall decorating, stay tuned for my Christmas decor in the coming months!! :)

kitchen decorating

This is our kitchen table ready for fall. A beaded garland and dangling spiders adorn the lighting fixture. Square vase with river rocks and silk hydrangea. The table cloth is from Big Lots that was only $4. Take a look in the back corner... On the shelf is another bargain pumpkin from the Xmas Tree Shop!

old sewing table

Another part of my fall decorating is my Grandmother's old sewing table (there is an actual working sewing machine inside!)in the front window.I got this tiered stand at a sale and filled it with leaves, berry stems, and fake gourds. Another favorite aroma of fall is this Yankee candle, Autumn Wreath.

living room cont.

Next up is a spot above the sofa in the living room. The shelf is from Pottery Barn, I made the pumpkin arrangement about 3 years ago, still looking fresh! other miscellaneous items including a Snowbaby from my husband's brother in law's mother, which it is in character with ruby shoes and Toto, so cute! A pair of love birds from my parents to us both for our anniversary.

I've been making a lot of these pumpkin arrangements, at work and I just made one for Mike's Grandma for her 91st birthday!

coffee

Next up is my fall coffee table. I finally decided to use this rather large espresso shadow box I got at Pottery Barn when it was marked down from $79 to $14! It's been sitting in my scrapbook room for a year and I never have used it. I filled it with some leaves, pumpkin candles and acrorns (both from PB- they are the best!) and some Indian corn I got last year at our farm market.

I think the my little centerpiece looks pretty good on my table, might have to change it to Christmas in 2 months!

i'm changing around the look of my blog.....it might be changing looks a lot. seeing what looks right. let me know which one you guys like... :)

fall decorating

I thought this week I would bring you different aspects of my fall decorating each day.

Today is my telephone hutch on my main floor of our house. I change it with each season. I have misceleanous fall and halloween items on it. The clock in the middle was a present for our 1st Anniversary from my In-Laws. The pumpkin on the top of the urn I got at the Christmas Tree Store marked down to $2 for having the stem break off, works for me! Other items ion the hutch: lots of Longenberger baskets, some of the Halloween things my Mom gave me, and a REALLY cute sign I got at a store called Lindsay Lane in Pittsford.

next up...coffee table in the living room.

basket of fall

After I went to the farm market the other day, I had some extra gourds and things I wanted to make little gift basket for my Mom. Sorry about the picture on the left, but on the basket there is little pumpkins so I thought this basket would work perfectly for my little project. I put in a warty gourd, a mini white pumpkin, a couple of apples, 2 autumn smelling votives, and bright red reading glasses!

apples and cider!!

I stopped by our local farm market to pick up some apples and cider. While I was there I bought some ity bity pumpkins and some gourds. I also took some pictures, that I think turned out pretty cool, one I'm gonna use for my Thanksgiving cards to send out to family and friends!

it's looking like fall outside

I finished up my outside fall decorations today. I put out an old scarecrow, added some leaf garlands on the fence and changed my mini flag to fall also!

welcome fall

Happy 1st day of Fall everyone! It is a beautiful fall day here in Rochester! I LOVE this time of year, with all the beautiful colors and aromas! I just bought these Chinese lanterns to decorate my family room. Pictures of fall decorating coming soon!
