AROUND THE HOUSE

Can't believe it is already October!

The weeks are really going by so fast, before we all know it,

we will have the turkey in the oven and our tables

set up for our Thanksgiving celebrations.

I guess it is time to start planning on the Christmas decor, 

but, frankly, I am not quite ready for that yet!

Meanwhile, I wanted to put a post together of my Fall decor 

for this year before it is time to take it all down.

I didn't do much, just a little here and there, but it has made

our home a little warmer and inviting.

By the way, I just wanted to share that I just had

my first blogging anniversary a few days ago.

I am so happy I survived my first year blogging, LOL and I 

have loved every minute of it, specially getting to meet and know all of you!

I sure have learned a lot and hope to be able to stick around 

for a long time to come.

I want to take this opportunity to thank you all for visiting my humble

blog and for always taking the time to leave me the most wonderful comments.

Now, this is what our house looks like this Fall.

On the entrance table that my husband built last year,
I just added my old metal leaf with the little ceramic pumpkins.

I bought it at Kirklands years ago and I try to use it every year.

On the front porch, I made some Fall pillows, a new wreath and

added a metal stand with a basket full of pumpkins and other Fall items.

I also planted some mums and added a Fall monogrammed garden flag.

 In the kitchen, I made a new burlap and lace runner for the island,

to which I added a small vignette of leaves, pumpkins, candles

 and two new fall plates.

 And some new placemats and Fall decor on the breakfast table

and side counter. I also added a garland to the lamp and I used
my old Fall wreath on our back door.

In the family room, I just decorated the mantle and hearth this year.

As you guys can see, it is not much and very simple.

I am still learning to decorate for Fall and also, little by little,

I am collecting more Fall decor every year.

Meanwhile, I am just enjoying all the gorgeous Fall decor in blog-land.

Great inspiration out there!!!

Looking forward to all the upcoming Fall parties!

Enjoy the rest of your week and see you soon!
