Preparing for Autumn

Many years ago, I went all out with my fall decorations.

To put it in visual terms...

it looked like a pumkin had vomited pumpkins in my house.

Yes, just like that.

 

I have scaled back a bit now,

placing out just a few "Fall" themed items

and all the "Halloween" themed decor has been laid to rest.

 

Let's take a little peek around the house,

to see what made it out of the boxes this year.

 

 I kept things simple at the front door.

New Fall Wreath, Autumn Doormat, Pumpkin Bucket with a

Yellow Mum...

and the 2 pumpkins are fakes.

That's right, I picked them up after Halloween, a few years ago,

70% off and I have been using them ever since.

 

 I left up my "Welcome Slate" from summer as I loved the

way it looked with my new wreath,

 and the yellow mum!!

The Fall Flag that matches the doormat is up,
and I leave this in place for Thanksgiving as well.

 I changed out a few of the items

on the small table in the entry,

 and there are radom stuffed pumpkins

laying about the house.

 A few gourds in the coffee table bowl,

 the scrapbooks are open to past Fall outings...

my pretty small Autumn picture book and

it doesn't take much to make the house a little more Fall like.

 I love this wreath that hangs on the inside
of my front door,

 this counted cross stitch that I made years ago,

 and these little guys,

that sit on either side of the T.V.

oh yes and there are candles,
 pumpkin scented candles are everywhere!!

 

So what about you guys...

do you go all out or do you just have little sprinkles of Fall??
