Fall Decor

I'm still finding it hard to believe that it's already October! What happened to September? And will October go just as fast? Oh, you know it will! I was eager to decorate for Fall back at the beginning of September but I just realized I didn't really share any photos with you all. So, here's a few pictures from around the home, that I took a few weeks ago. . . . .

You can tell it was a few weeks ago, because the dresser isn't painted black in this picture! I will have to take some updated pics. Those are new candle sconces on the wall, that I bought in Hobby Lobby a few weeks ago, at 50% off. I added fall colored candles beads and ribbon and at Christmas time I'll change these out to green with red ribbon. Here's a close up. . . .

Here's one side of the mantel, with a little Boyd's Bear


and the other side - Kristen painted the little terracotta pot in preschool and I've had fall flowers in it ever since (it gets packed away each year with the fall decor)


This is the window sill/seat in the kitchen....

and two of my other 'fall' Boyd's Bears. I used to collect Boyd's Bears but most of them are packed away. They don't really go with the decor of the house, but I have thought about getting them out and sitting them on the shelves in my bedroom closet.



I decorated the front porch this weekend with some fun Halloween stuff for Kristen (I don't decorate with it in the house) but I'll share pictures of that tomorrow ;-)
