Southern Fall Ideas!
I love the way fall looks and the way it smells. Here are some ideas for adding a touch of fall to your home and to your tummy!
Idea #1
Cut the stem end off of a pumpkin, hollow it out and pop in a pot of mums or other flowers. Add a few berry vines or a little garland.
Easy and pretty!
Idea #2
Cut the stem end off of a smaller pumpkin and place a good size candle inside. Tuck in some artificial autumn leaves and twigs.
Small and sweet.
Idea #3
Decorate with apples. Fill a bowl or basket with some apples, or if you have a pretty apothecary jar or hurricane, fill them with apples. Carve a tea light shaped whole in some candles. Insert the tea lights and enjoy.
Nice autumn light
Idea #4
Light some scented candles. Apple, cinnamon, pumpkin, spice are all great choices to add a nice touch.
Mmmmmm!
Now for something to let your tummy know it is fall!

Thank you!

I like all these ideas! I can’t wait to do some of these. I think I’ll go get some more of the white pumpkins and add some of these ideas to my fall décor. Thanks for sharing. Hope you get a chance to visit the QCI to see some beautiful faience and flowers. Sorry the background of the post is so dark. I hope that can be altered. ~ Sarah

Yes I just love this time of year. It’s getting a bit nippy out and the wind is picking up so here is fall. I enjoy burning my fall scented candles as well such as pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin spice, harvest time, cinnamon raisin bun, fresh apple and oh yes hot apple pie. They sure give me a refreshing pick up this time of year.

You have some fine autumn ideas. The pumpkin as a vase is a very good idea. You could also serve soup in them.
And of course we like the smell of apples and cinnamon in the autumn. For me it is the smell of autumn , together with the sweet smell of fallen leaves.
