Autumn Wreaths

I have pulled my autumn wreath out of the attic, fluffed it up and hung it on my front door.  I just love all the different fall wreaths that people create.  The varieties range from the simple elegant to beautifully elaborate.  Enjoy some of these beautiful wreaths I found on Etsy.  If you don't feel inspired to make one yourself purchase an Artisan Crafted wreath on Etsy!

I love the cute Burlap bow on this one from Grata.  Burlap is one of my favorite materials to use to decorate.  It adds such a lovely texture and it is not expensive at all.  Fray the ends of your burlap to give it a cute "fringe"

 This one from IdeasBloom with its silk flowers and a lovely beige and gold bow on a grapevine wreath is so Elegant.

 Lovely Jeweled toned silk flower on a grapevine wreath from Procelebrations

The combination of the silk and dried elements in this wreath make it truly unique.  I love the vivid colors.

Outdoor Fall Decor

Fall is the time when people move indoors and welcome guests to warm visits over cider. Greet your guests with a beautifully decorated front porch. I have put together a beautiful collection of beautiful and simple decorations for the outside of your home for fall. Using materials you may have in your yard or can pick up at the market, the outside of your home will look as warm and welcoming as it is inside!

Get some Mums! This is the time that most stores do away with the regular perennials and it becomes mum time. You'll be able to find pots of mums at the grocery store and home improvement stores. A few pots of mums go a long way in the porch decorating scheme of things. The mums can be an accent or a focal point.

Pumpkins and Gourds are the king of fall. They're also pretty cheap. Add some small pumpkins and a few large pumpkins for a splash of fall color. Put them at the base of your pots of mums and you've got a good start on a fall porch. Put them on the sides of your porch steps to direct folks to your front door.

A large porch can handle a couple of bales of hay. You can get three stack them up in a ragged pyramid with a top and two ledges on the side. Add your mums and pumpkins to your stack of hay and you've got a classic fall porch.

Happy First Day of Fall and Autumnal Equinox.

Happy first day of fall and Autumnal Equinox!  The evenings will now come sooner and the air will cool more quickly.  The leaves will begin to change their color, crops will start to be harvested, those fun fall festivals will begin, and animals will start their move to their new winter homes.  Welcome fall it is so good to see you!  After the driest and hottest summer on record I so welcome you.  The door is open, please come in and stay a while!
