The first day of fall came and went with temperatures in the 90's, even creeping up to 100. Needless to say, I had no inclination to start my fall decorating. But with the first of October, it is finally starting to feel like cooler weather is on the way, so I went for a hunt for my fall decor.
I say hunt because that is exactly what I had to do. Some family members moved over the summer and stored some of their things in my shed. I had the foresight to move the Christmas things to the front, but I thought the fall boxes were in the garage. I was wrong.
I am still missing a box, but I gave up and decided to use what I found, plus what I had from my garden.
First, the mantle:
My print from Plymouth, Massachusetts always takes center stage,
especially in the fall.
The missing box has sprays of leaves and fall flowers, so I gathered what I had that would be the right color for my cream pitcher. Behind it is a birdhouse with apples on it. In front is a garland with pheasant feathers.
In the middle is a beautiful orange and bluish-green pumpkin on a small cake stand.
On the left is a red clock and rustic pitcher; you can see a bit of a birdhouse gourd on the far right. The garland of fall leaves and acorns tie it all together.
A new banner says "thankful"
Tomorrow, the dining room.
