~Falling around the House ~

I anxiously wait for September

as the Summer begins to wind down,

breathing it's last hot breaths near the end of August.

I love EVERYTHING about Fall.

The rich Autumn colors

deep golds, russet, umber

MUMS, SWEATERS, BOOTS

My Mums                                                                             

candles scented with pumpkin spices and cloves

Cool crisp mornings
&
the way the sunlight filters through the trees turning the whole world to red and gold

watching an impromptu dance as the breeze kicks up a pile of nearby leaves

Ahhhhh, yes......the pleasure of Fall.

And it's always refreshing to change things up a bit for the seasons.
Nothing dramatic, I don't go in for a huge 'theme'.
Just a gentle nod as we turn the calender page
 and Autumn nudges her way in.

So you can see a few subtle changes as the
THE DRESSED UP COTTAGE
welcomes Fall.

How about this darling little blue and white ceramic pumpkin?

and I just loved this charming carved wooden candle holder

a little pumpkin under glass, anyone?

Candy corn.... A MUST HAVE
I'd like to say, this is for the grandchildren.....
but let's not kid ourselves.
This is the cutest little jar with a sweet fleur-di-lis on the front
although it's hard to see it when the jar is full.

Hmmmm......looks like another 'sign' from my collection.

Yes, Autumn Blessings
to you my friends.
