Gobble, Gobble

After putting away all the Halloween decor, I pulled out this guy. I keep my pumpkins out through Thanksgiving. But, he's the only thing I have specifically related to Turkey Day. Kind of a cutie, I think!

Mantel Makeover

I haven't posted too many pictures of our fall decor, so I thought I'd make up for lost time today. Here are a couple of shots of our mantel. Our mantel is usually one of the most challenging things for me to decorate. But, for fall it came together pretty easily. This arrangement is very simple, yet I really love it. The symmetry of the candlesticks and pumpkins on each end works well with the off-centered monogram print. This arrangement just feels cozy, like I want my home to feel during the fall.

Fallbulous

It's not quite fall, but Labor Day weekend marks the start of my fall decorating. Jamie got the plastic tubs down from the attic and I started putting out the pumpkins. I've still got quite a lot to do, but here's a little peek.

Are you ready for fall? I am. I just love this time of year! I'm also excited to see all the decor from other bloggers and get new ideas for some crafts to try.

Dear Fall,

What a wonderful time I had with you today. How I have been looking forward to your arrival. Please do stay for awhile. You are quite the treat with your delightful colors and cool breezes. I am rejuvenated by your presence and inspired by your beauty. Thank you, oh, thank you for the happiness you bring!
Yours truly,
Laura
