Happy October!

 
 
 
WOW- here we are into another new month again already!
 
Just exactly where did October go?
Anyone have any idea?
If you find September let me know!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I am slowly but surely getting my house "Autumnified."
 
Today I had just time enough to get my front door in season!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
My daughter who made my pretty silk pumpkin I shared in this post
also made this amazing felted wool sunflower doilie for me for my birthday one year.
 
I keep underneath this rustic metal pumpkin.
 

 







I really love to decorate for fall because
the colours match most of my decor perfectly
 - like this painted hallway table.
Can you spot my fine feathered friend tucked away hidden
in this floral arrangement?






 
 
 

A large 3 wick candle with a fresh fall fragrance
brings warm ambience to any room.
Sprucing them up with some raffia and silk fall flora
makes a nice centerpiece.
 
 

 
 


 


Here is Phase One of front door area.

(Phase Two is all about Halloween.)







I am joining Melissa over at
The Inspired Room for her fun fall linky party!

  5. You've done a lovely job, Michele! Love that table. The colors are perfect for adding your Fall vignettes. That floral arrangement is really pretty. Great wreath, too. I just found one yesterday and added it to my front door. Still need to get a large mum for my urn by the front door. Next week we will probably get some pumpkins {with the granddaughter} so I'll add a few of those in, too.

  7. Yes, I found him! Glad that you mentioned it because I missed him the first time. Your home looks so lovely. For years, I decorated in autumn colors because I love them so. I may be heading back to that now...

    Wonderful list and Cream of Pumpkin soup sounds so yummy right now.

  17. I just love your fall decor, Michele, and I especially love reading your list! (I'm a big list-maker, and I enjoy reading anyone else's lists too!) And I also wanted to say an extra thank-you for your kind and thoughtful comment about my shopping trips with my mom. YOUR mom obviously raised a wonderful child, and reading your sweet comment made me extra thankful for my own mom. God bless!
