I may not have gotten everything checked off my to-do list but I did manage to put up a few fall decorations. :0) I was inspired by several of Mrs. Wilt's ideas!
Here is our entryway. The wreath on the mirror is covered with moss and hangs from a ribbon. My guest book is waiting to be signed. I think the last entry is from 3 years ago. I really need to do better with that!
I decorated the mantle with a simple berry garland, my tart burner and pinecone candles.
I added a little pumpkin ribbon to my topiaries.
Here is what my kitchen table looks like right now. (Tina, I put my fall lantern and leaves on the china hutch!) The little pumpkins on the table are salt and pepper shakers. :0)
These candles are filled with popcorn. So far we haven't had any popped corn from the heat of the flame. ;0)
I used green and orange raffia for the bows.
By all these lovely tokens
September days are here,
With summer’s best of weather
And autumn’s best of cheer.
-Helen Hunt Jackson, September, 1830-1885
Everything looks so pretty! I do wish you would explain about the popcorn tho. What is the reason for it?
ReplyDeleteHi Dot,
ReplyDeleteThe popcorn is just an fallish "filler" for the candles. I was hopping to get a snack out of the deal but it didn't work out..hehehee.

I found your blogg via Maria's "Flame of Autumn" today. Your decorations are beautiful, I very much like that kind of style.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Germany
Beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteWhat inspirational decorations, I especially love your mantel. I must try and do something in my home too, In UK people tend not to decorate for the seasons though I've done a little for the last couple of years after being in the US in September/October and seeing all that people do. I shall visit Mrs Wilt for some ideas. Thanks for the beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteVery warm, very pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love your photos.
Kelli, I love the autumn touches in your home!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely fall decorations! Your home looks so cozy and inviting, don't you just love candles?!
ReplyDeleteKelli, I love your fall decorating! I really like the moss wreath. You've given me inspiration for my mantle, where I also have two topiaries [moss]. I haven't done any fall decorating yet, but will have to get going!
