Fall

Fall is definately here. Bryan turned on the heat the other day. I had forgotten how much I love our radiant heat. Toasty.

Several of our neighbors have decorated for Halloween/Fall, and Bryan was itching to join them. I was too, honestly, but in a classy way. Ooops, I hope my neighbors don't read this blog and become offended.

I'm not really into Halloween, but fall, I love.

For the outside I have a couple of slightly dying mums from when we hosted an engagement party a few weeks ago. I added two pumpkins, one white and one orange.



At a holiday shopping event a few weeks ago I purchased a few iron pieces that turn a pumpkin or gourd into an adorable turkey. I had Bryan stab the innocent little pumpkin to turn it into the most adorable thing I'd seen all week.



Adorable, right?

Inside, I decided to decorate the dinning room mantle. I had purchased one small white pumpkin on our Ohio trip and Mom had given me one of the Tiger Pumpkins. I bought several different ones at the farmers market on Saturday and got the gourd from the pumpkin stand we got the outside pumpkins.



Finally, its virtually impossible for me to go to the downtown farmer's market without getting a fresh bouquet of flowers.



Happy fall, ya'll!

Fall

For weeks now I've been craving fall. We had a few tempting days of cooler weather, before it heated back up again. And stores are beginning to get mums. I'm convinced I must get several mums for my front porch. I'm not sure what brought on this craving, I don't think I've ever owned a mum in my life. But it just seems like the fall thing to do.

We are currently in Ohio for a wedding and hometown-visiting. Yesterday we rode with some locals to a local produce stand. They had tons of pumpkins and mums and decorating corn. I had Bryan restrain me and remind me that we have a 10 hour ride in someone else's car and could not import fall to the South this early.

Last year, I suffered a minor case of fall-itis and purchased a pumpkin at the very beginning of October. They rotted before Halloween. Oh well. We still enjoyed our pumpkins for several weeks.

I did purchase, for a whopping 30 cents, a small white pumpkin. Its adorable. So adorable I want to name it.

Can't wait to get it home and have it as my little reminder that fall is on the way!

King Kong

Yes, we've got a new animal in the house, King Kong. Except its not really a real animal. Its a massage chair. Take a look:



We hide it behind the door.



Here Bryan tests it out.



In full relaxation mode.

This is how we feel about it:

Pillows

Mom ordered me some pillows from one of her companies. I had picked out the fabric months ago. I'm so glad to have pillows for our comfy couch.



I call this side my Spring/Summer side because I like the lighter color.



The other side is a burnt orange. Its my fall/winter side.

Bryan likes them on opposing sides, I like them on the same. We shall see.

Sewing Table

We've been a fan of sewing tables since early in our marriage. Bryan likes to point them out to me.

At a recent sale we happened upon this one at an unbelievable price and we had to bring it home. Its settled by my side of the bed for now and we love it and love showing it off.

Cha-Cha-Changes

I know, its been a while. We've made some recent changes around the house and this week I'll be posting a few.

First up, the window treatment in the kitchen.

Mom found these tea towels at Amelia Island, FL and picked out a bunch. She had two of these and thought they would look great in my kitchen. Then she had the idea to make into a window treatment.

Breaking News!

I just purchased the first pair of shoes since I got married! That's over a year! Yikes.

I bought them online... and I'll probably send them back after I try them on and realize again with great agony that I have fat feet. That will send me into a spiral of depression and I won't be shoes again for over another year.
