I bought a bag of pumpkin flavored coffee at Cost Plus World Market and lit my pumpkin spice
candle, put on some jazzy music and got to working on my fall mantle. I think my favorite thing this year are the little copper leave lights that I found in the Target bullseye bins for $3.00.
It seems every year there is something that stands out and makes decorating all the more fun. Besides those little lights I love my new fall pillow (which I'll be sharing with you soon). The pretty blue bird and the pumpkin really put me in the mood for snuggling on the sofa with my favorite cup of tea and a crochet project.
Now that the living room is finished I need to move on to the rest of the house. I only do the dining room hutch and centerpiece for Halloween so that will probably be what I work on next. The porch is going strictly fall this year and so is the rest of the dining room and the kitchen.
What about you? Have you started your autumn decorating or will you wait a bit longer and enjoy every last second of summer?
xo, Patty
Here's my latest video. I'd love for you to subscribe and join in on the conversation because life isn't about perfection, it's about connection.
I love how your mantle looks and crazy about the sign.
ReplyDeletePatty, I saw some turquoise and rust colors mixed at the Horton's store in town here...I love that combination. I will watch your sweet video later. I just wanted to let you know I have missed you. :):) I want to have a tea party with you...yummy good treats. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteI love your videos. You are so inspiring and so sweet. You are getting me in the mood for fall even though in Texas it doesn't come until the end of October and the beginning of November. Nelda
ReplyDeleteSouthern California weather doesn't usually get on board until late October either but sometimes you just have to use your imagination. lol
DeletePatty, I loved the video...you are a natural. The music and fast forward made it nice too. Bless you, xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteAww!! cookies!!
ReplyDeleteLoved the video and the blog post. I'm so glad that I found your videos on YouTube last week. I've gone through and watched most of them and feel like we're just chatting together in your home. You definitely have a talent for this. I'm sure the ladies from your small group enjoyed gathering in the place that you so lovingly prepared for them.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Betsy
Hi Patty! It is looking like Fall at your house for sure! I haven't dragged my Fall stuff out yet. I am trying to enjoy every last bit of my flowers and summer before I let go. Long year for us here. Those little leaf lights from Target are really sweet. xo Diana

ReplyDeleteI saw that same cast iron tea lite skillet on Amazon for less than $10. :-)
ReplyDeletePatty, did you chop up the Mega Omega trail mix?
ReplyDeleteNo, I just left them as is and it worked like a charm.
DeleteHi Patty, it's a pleasure to get reconnected with your blog again. I've only put a few fall touches here and there. Definitely not ready to go full-out fall yet. Savoring every last bit of summer. It's actually 96 here with the heat index in northern IL! I was at the grocery store today with my husband and I saw bags of mini pumpkins. At first I was going to buy them, then I said to my hubby that those could wait awhile yet. ;-)
