Fall Decorating...

Fall is my favorite season. I love the colors, the crisp air and the smell of apples and cinnamon. The girls came home this weekend, so I did a little decorating before they came. I cooked all their favorites, which included 2 apple pies. The house smelled so good.

For decorating, I have this large vase on the kitchen table.

I change what's in it each season.

For summer I place a candle in the center, then surrounded it with sea shells.

Very pretty at night.

This vase is so large, it would take a lot to fill it up.

So I put a smaller vase upside down, inside the larger vase.

Perfect spot to hold a candle.

Now to fill it up for fall...leaves are perfect.

I thought acorns, but they are way too small and would take a million.

Just slide off each section from the stem.

I snipped them in half.

Fast and easy and the whole bunch was only $3.00.

Love the colors!

Don't worry...I only light the candle when we are around.

Here are a few more ideas from around the house.

The first day of autumn is this Thursday the 23rd...thought I'd get a little head start.

Enjoy your day,
