Signs of Fall!


My favorite season(s) are Spring and Fall (summer not soo much). And as much as I love snow, I don't like the long days of winter when the leaves have all disappeared and the sky is that dull gray. But spring and fall make me happy.

A sure sign of fall in my home is when the windows are open and you have that crisp cold morning air coming in. I light the candles, pull out the fall clothing ( I love shopping in the fall, for boots, shawls, warm pants and purse...got to have my purse) and start perusing the home decorating sites.

Fall also brings out my creative side. I start looking around for craft projects to complete around the house. Yesterday I finally made a centerpiece for my dining table. My sister in law had given me this urn a few years ago and at the time the only thing I did with it was add some potpourri. A few weeks ago I broke down and went to Michael's picked out some silk florals and now I have a beautiful (if I do say so myself) centerpiece that I can use year round.

I have a few more projects up my sleeve, including making over two glass globes I picked up from Walmart. I should be good until Christmas then the process starts all over again. Because next to Fall decorating I love Christmas, and Valentines Day, and Easter. You get the picture. LOL

So what's your favorite season and do you decorate any other time of the year other then Christmas?

I pretty much only decorate for Christmas. But I do it before Thanksgiving and leave it up until after New Year so I REALLY enjoy it a long time!
