Things I Love about Autumn

Our decorating scheme is very fall-inspired!  We love the deep reds, yellows & oranges.  I use leaves and pumpkins throughout my displays.  Soon, I will have apothecary jars to fill with acorns, corn kernels, small gourds, etc., that I will display all year through.  I have alot of blankets, which I keep stored all around (a wicker trunk, a black pleather ottoman, a small wire basket and a bin meant for firewood) b/c you just never know when you need to cuddle under a blanket to get toasty and comfortable!!

Here is a list, not all-inclusive, of the things about Fall I love:

~Leaves changing to vibrant reds, oranges and yellows
