I have mentioned probably about a million times on this blog how much I love fall... I love pumpkins and apples and crisp temperatures and cozy blankets and rainy days. But, before I start sounding too much like a "Basic B*tch", Id like to share some of our new houses fall/Halloween decor I have recently put up.

Last Wednesdays decorating started with stopping by my favorite farm stand for some pumpkins. The three big pumpkins were $10, while each set of three little pumpkins were $1. $12. Not bad for so much fall color! I sent this picture to my husband before heading home.
I bet he was thinking "So it has begun..." |

| The mini pumpkins went perfectly on our front living room mantle. This room doesnt have much in it to begin with (which I am currently working on, but that is a post for another day). The one extra white (pokemon) pumpkin went on a coffee table for decoration. In case you are wondering, the three pictures above are of old Tacoma, WA (30 minutes from where we live). Kevin estimates that the two on the right are early 1900s, while the left is a bit later around the 1930s. Several months ago my work was going to get rid of these out of someones office who had left the company years ago. I snagged them and they fit our front room perfectly. |

| Here is where the three larger pumpkins went along with some purple string lights, spider web net, a metal pumpkin patch sign, and a scarecrow. Other people on our block go all-out for Halloween with fake gravestones in their yards, strobe lights, and black lights, but I think for our first year owning a home, this will do. |

| Here is bit of a better view with our porch light on. Poor Kevin that first night after I put up decorations. We were cozy in bed when I remembered that I forgot to turn off the purple lights. I wasnt sure how warm they might get against the spiderweb and if that could be a fire hazard, so Kevin went out and turned them on. What a gentleman! Hehe! I think I will work on getting a timer for the lights that we can use later for Christmas lights this winter. |

| Here is a closer view of the fall wreath that I made for the house a few weeks ago. I purchased all of my supplies from Michaels for only $20 and put it together myself. Not bad when the pre-made wreaths at craft stores go for $30-$75 depending on their size. |
What things are you doing around your place to enjoy the spirit of fall?
Health and Happiness,
Amy
