Simple Fall Pleasures
Thank you for your comments on the corn husk dolls! I hope your week is going well. I still can't believe it's November. Partly because it's been so warm, but a cold front is coming in later this week. Today, I thought I would share some simple fall pleasures that I've been enjoying...
Sweet pumpkin potpourri: a gift from my mom.
So tiny!
Orange mums.
Crunchy apples, a basket of new dishcloths and pretty napkins.
New kitchen soaps.
Perfect for all the way through Christmas. If they last that long!
Comforting soups bubbling away on the stove. We enjoyed Mrs. H's Potato Soup last week.
A fall banner inspired by Claudia's beautiful crafting.
Thank you for stopping by for a visit. Are there any simple fall pleasures you've been enjoying lately?
Love all your fall pictures. The mums are beautiful. Mimi
ReplyDeleteHi Kelli :) So pretty! I love the orange mums - they just make you stop & smile.
ReplyDeleteI am especially enjoying the COLORS this year - so glorious! And I have found a few new wonderful recipes to try (I'll share if they are as good as they read). Oh! And we made our first pumpkin pies of the season on Monday - yum!
Have a wonderful Weds! Love & hugs, Q

ReplyDeleteHi Kelli, well I had the "pleasure" of dealing with all the leaves in my front yard yesterday LOL! Actually I really did enjoy it. It's finally cold around here so it finally feels like fall. Loved all your pictures - that pumpkin potpourri is so cute!

Hi Kelli
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Fall photos. I love your tin "Nature" sign and spotted one like it on a neighbours picket fence. Lovely "simple pleasures" post today.
HI Kelli! I love your pictures today. Wish we lived closer so I could come over for a cup of tea and see your fall decorations in person. I can't wait to see what you are planning to do with Christmas decorating. Bet you have some cool, comfy stuff in mind. :-)
ReplyDeleteHope you and your family have a wonderful Wednesday. Love, Debbi

You always post such interesting and beautiful things. I enjoy coming to visit you. Thanks, Faith
ReplyDeleteGood Day, Kelli!
ReplyDeleteAll of the autumn touches are just wonderful. You reminded me of things I want to get before the Thanksgiving holiday.
I had forgotten Claudia's tag banner. She has a very lovely home. You would love it!
Happy Wednesday to you...
Everything is so nice. I have some of that pumpkin potpourri...I think I will put it out today!!
ReplyDeleteWhat cute teeny pumpkins!
ReplyDeleteI love how you make us see simple ordinary things in new and pleasant ways.
The pumpkin potpourri is so tiny and adorable! I think they are so darn cute. I like your banner too. You are very talented. You have more creative talent in your little pinky then I have in my whole body! :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I am getting inspired by you. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteKelli, you are very talented in how to make a home look beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWe spent the morning at the farm up the road. We had the place to ourselves most of the time. We were there for hours just enjoying the sunshine, chasing chickens, feeding the piggy. It was a perfect autumn morning.
ReplyDeleteSo many wonderful things God has given us to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for praying for my husband during his recent heart surgery. All is going well.
Everything is just so *Fallish*...:::Giggles:::
ReplyDeleteI love everything you posted, especially those cute little pumpkins--how adorable.
This post makes me want to spruce up my home even more--you are always such an inspiration to me:)
Have a wonderful Wednesday.

I, too, would like to know about the potpourri. But I would like to know where you got the soap.
ReplyDeleteThe name is similar to my favorite, which isn't being made anymore.
I love all the little pumpkin potpourri and the soup on the stove. You always have nice things. I love all the fall colors. Take care.
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty stuff..And I have to know where you got the soaps and lotions at. They sound like they would smell so good..
ReplyDeleteBlessings
Crystal
Where did your mom find that cute pumpkin potpouri?? I would love to have some of that to spread around my candles...my berries have lost their scent. If you can answer, thanks!
ReplyDeleteLois
I absolutely love your decorations! It makes me want to come home to a house like this. Soooo comforting to see all this. I LOVE that pumpkin potpourri. How cute. :)
ReplyDeleteYour fall is great! I love the candy corns in the jar and the soap is great!The pumpkins are so cute!!
ReplyDeleteHi Kelli -
ReplyDeleteYour home always looks so inviting and comfy! I love the fall decorating you've done. Most of mine is finished - I didn't do as much this year - but I keep thinking I need to add something else. Too much going on with family and dealing with a cold to figure it out right now. I'm happy with the way it looks so I think I'll just dream of what I'll do next year! Thanks for sharing your wonderful home with us.

Hi Kelli :)
ReplyDeleteYou have such a cozy home - it's all so pretty. I love the banner and those teeny pumpkins. And the roasted chestnut soap - I'd love to smell it!
ooohhh.... where did you get the dish soap and hand potions from?
ReplyDeleteKelli, you are so talented in home decorating! I loved all your pictures...very inspiring! I love lighting lots of cinnamon candles at this time of year and making the home cosy and inviting. :)
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy coming here. Your pictures are great. I've been enjoying seeing the leaves on the ground. Not sure why but I enjoy seeing that.
ReplyDeleteI love your decor! Where did you find the kitchen soap? The bottles look so elegant!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!
ReplyDeleteall these things look lovely, very heart-warming :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post - we just don't celebrate our autumn in the same way you celebrate your fall. I have been busy baking (we have an apple mountain from our trees!), may make some apple wine too, and my camera and I have had some lovely autumn walks.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I love the visual effect of a container full of tiny pumpkins. Are they real, I wonder?
ReplyDeleteOooooo, where are your chestnut soaps from?
