Hello, Autumn :)

In my past life, I was baffled by the copious fall decorating provisions for sale at stores such as Hobby Lobby and Michaels.  Who was going to buy them?  What were they going to do with all of the tacky ones?  How many fall decorating items does one house need?

But now I understand.  My palette just barely whet with the few things I picked up (1/2 off!) this past weekend and I am salivating for more.  I actually considered forgoing grocery shopping this week in lieu of more fall home decorations -- more, more, more!  Ok, I'm getting a little carried away.  But I do think I found a new love: seasonal home decorating.

(PS:  I already have a head-start on Christmas...)

For now it isn't much, but I love coming home to a more festive atmosphere.  Makes me crave cider and hayrides.  The other thing you can't see in a picture is my wallflower from BathandBodyWorks that is scented like "Autumn" ---ahhhh :)

Where's Waldo?  Can YOU see any decorations yet??

The pictures are weird colors because I take them on my Blackberry --- it's faster than taking and uploading.

 This wreath is actually for outside but I haven't gotten time to hang it ... so I'm keeping it classy on my thermostat. 

 I love this pumpkin!  It's such an unusual and pretty color.

 This pumpkin is high glam -- but it was hard to take a picture of because it's so sparkly :)

These little guys are so cute I want to keep them around all year!  Itty bitty pumpkins! :)

Also note: plants are still alive and thriving.  Whew!
