Instagram is almost like a blog onto it’s own. It is so easy to keep in my groove and share pics here and there…..I am an insta-lover fo sur:) Last weekend I pulled out some fall decorations (from the depth of the boxes in my basement….that’s another show for another day.) I can’t find some of my things that I used last year….but I got my hands on most of my favorite things. It is a fun challenge to fit our old decorations into a new space….I had fun putting it all together. I thought I would share with you here in case you aren’t on instagram. FYI: I didn’t buy one new thing that you see in these pics….just shopped the house and got stuff from my fall boxes:)
my Grandmother’s candlesticks, a basket, fabric from last years table runner, and white pumpkins
our mantle has a tv above….so I went down low with some of my décor…2 gold sprayed pumpkins that I have had for years (see this post and this post) along with some wheat in a glass vase…done and done:)
I used the same wreath from a few years ago. It has held up great! Find out how to make your own super large wreath for little cash here….I placed that on the door using my secret invisible door hanger. An upside down command hook on the inside of the door…wrapped some floral wire around it and hung the wreath on the outside. Easy!!
I lied….I did buy one thing. This plum sprig was on sale at Potterybarn and I knew it would look fabulous in my white pitcher. Just one sprig is all I needed….I love the how it looks against the wall. The old iron gate piece has been used several times before…. (check here) I found it years ago at Architectural Salvage. The wheat wreath was from Michael’s a few years back….
The screened in porch got a few punches of orange….perfect for fall:)
I hope you have a great weekend pulling some of your fall things out and playing a bit. If you are bored…come visit me on Instagram:) You may get a peek a new member of our family;) more on that soon…here’s a hint…she’s furry:)

My favorite fall food is Chili! We always eat it on Halloween after Trick-or-Treating.
any kind of comfort food/drink! : )
Ohhhh…Love the idea of one pot meals. Less dishes!
And favorite fall meal…I think crockpot chicken taco soup. That’s it currently.
How exciting!!!!!
Thanks for sharing your fall decor pictures…they’ve inspired me to get started on my own!
Ooops! I forgot to mention my favorite fall meal in my last comment. Pretty much anything with pumpkin in it would be at the top of the list.
My favorite fall meal is turkey and gravy. It is just so good! Also, a nice slice of pumpkin pie is wonderful for dessert.
Chili, but honestly I can eat it year round!!
My favorite fall me is chili…no question about it. And any kind of homemade soup. So warm and comforting on a cold day :)
I love lasagne :)
