I’ve been saying since the beginning of September how I can’t wait to decorate for fall!!  No…take that back…I’ve been ready since August LOL. I’m so ready to see the leaves change colors.  I love the crisp fall air and the smell of baked apple pies!!!  There is just something about fall that makes everything feel “cozy”.  I even created a “Pinterest Board” called “Fall Season My Favorite Season“.  Check out all of my boards at www.pinterest.com/twoadorablelabs.com.

I’ve been anxiously waiting for the right time to decorate so here you go!!!

If you haven’t decorated yet and want to know where I bought everything, here is the rundown:

• Wreath (I’ll need to make a new one next year!) – I made this a few years ago with florals from JoAnn Fabrics.  The ribbon came from Micheals.
• Ball shrubs and urns – Shrubs came from Iannetti’s Garden Center and the urns came from Home Depot.
• White rock around the shrubs – Found at Lowes
• Rubber mats – Found at Lowes.
• “Hello” mat – found at Hobby Lobby.
• Ribbon – Ribbon on urns came from Walmart.
• Lanterns – Bought at Home Goods and they are made for outdoor use as well as inside.
• Holiday decor inside lantern (candle stick, pumpkins, floral) – Found at Walmart.
• Outdoor flameless candles – Bought at Amazon and they come with a remote control.  Love that!!!!
• Ceramic pumpkins – Bought at Kroger.

I’m happy with how it all turned out but I wish I had pressure washed this summer!  It was on my “to-do” list and I never got to it.  It’s on my list for next year.  As for my little porch, I could see a roof over the door, a black Roth iron railing, and the porch and steps tiled in slate or ceramic tile!  My plan was to pressure wash and then proceed with those plans but we had so much to do, that we couldn’t get to it.  So hopefully, next year, I can send you a pic with my vision completed!!!!

What is everyone’s plans this season?  I would love to hear all about them!  Thomas and I love taking a drive through the country with the dogs taking in the fall scenery.  It’s relaxing and the dogs love going with us in the car.  We like taking a day and seeing where it takes us.  An unexpected stop at a little cafe for coffee and brunch, hitting up antique stores and craft boutiques or a taste test at a beautiful winery is definitely on our list for this year.  And I can’t forget to mention my mother’s pumpkin pie…yummmm!  We always look forward to that :-).

Happy fall!
