Fall in Our House

It's fall here, as will hopefully be evident with our cooler temperatures this week! It's been in the 80s, and maybe an occasional 70s day, but the next three days will be down in the 60s. Makes me feel like i'm in Indiana again!

I haven't shared my fall decor yet, so I thought tonight would be a great night to do so.
My sofa table just has a few of my fall candy bowls (with no candy, because I have sneaky three year old hands in my house). I love the acorn and squirrel bowl, because they've been with me since my college days.
Our front entry is a plethora. I left my white candlesticks, and added a self made floral arrangement, our candy dish for Halloween, a candle my grandmother made, a bowl, and a pumpkin centerpiece that DJ's step mom gave to us.
On the floor beside the table are two wicker pumpkins, and a large white canister of glittery pumpkins- I love anything that sparkles! Above it is our Halloween countdown, that we may start the week before Halloween! I added the ribbon to it, because it just came on some gold pipe cleaner looking stuff.
I have this red metal shelf on our kitchen, and, as you can tell the homeowners of this house, wanted fall all year long, and painted it in shades of brown and red. But, I placed my Pilgrims and another fall candy dish.
I use an old sewing stand with a butcher block as a sideboard in the kitchen. I placed yet another candy dish (I have way too many of these, and every year I tell myself I'm going to get more fall decor that is NOT a candy dish), and my large serving platter. Along with my squirrel and nut salt & pepper shakes.

I must say, that a lot of my fall decor is sentimental because my sorority mascot is a squirrel. Many of these pieces were purchased for me in college, and I love digging them out again!

Hope your house is getting all festive as well, and that you're enjoying some cooler temps too!
