We Love all Things Fall!

No It’s not here just yet…. But I think that making it to the first of September before unpacking and buying fall décor is a huge accomplishment for me and even bigger than that I made it until nearly mid-September!!! (*Happy Fall Dance going on here right now) Fall is the precursor to all things good in my book.  It is like the start of a marathon of everything I love about life, my girls Rachel and Teresa will agree that there is nothing better than that first cool crisp day when you can open the windows and light some candles and its Fall Y’all.  

While I LOVE FALL I haven’t ever really decorated for it before owning our home.  I always focused my budget and time on my number one favorite, Christmas.  However, this year with a bit more time on my hands being home taking classes I got the fall itch!  I blame the blank mantel ... it needed PUMPKINS!

I found these adorable and unique pumpkins at JOANNs Fabric.  I had originally had my eye set on getting a bushel of different sized white glass pumpkins but the more I thought about it I needed some color in this room! BONUS- while my style is defiantly more chippy, antiquey, and farmy haha I love me some  GLITTER & GOLD. Just ask those who helped me with our wedding a year ago! Being able to marry the two made my heart happy! If you know me or have read any of the other blogs I am all about trying to make things perfect on a budget!  

These pumpkins were not only buy 2 get 1 but I also got my 30% off so I walked out of the store paying for two pumpkins. SCORE!!! A lot of the pieces on my mantel area will work for many seasons and I do that on purpose.  I love having a few items to work around.

The crock pictured bellow was empty until I took out my spring/summer flowers. This crock makes the perfect “storage” for these beauties to go. Add some wheat and a pumpkin and I’m in love. .  The same goes for my olive bucket I just added wheat to the greenery and it is Fall ready.  An array of pumpkins and a Sweet P’s Sign and we are ready for all things Fall.   Like this post if you think the mantel needs a cute "Fall Y'all" Banner!
