Welcome!!
Fall is in the air weather you consider November 1st and 81 degrees to be unseasonably warm and not "fallish", it IS November!
I have put a great deal of the yard to bed, with a few odds and ends still out, but to be quite honest, it is still so warm, there hasn't really been an urgency to get it done; so I haven't.
I have been decorating inside however, and I have made some lovely vignettes as an ode to the turning of colors and the abundance of harvest. Here are just a few.

In the corner of my beautiful kitchen is a shelf unit that houses many necessities like the telephone, the radio, a box of tissues, and story books for the Grandson, and a shelf for my purse.
Fortunately it also has a couple of shelves that are strictly for me to display small collections, and current holiday decorations.
My newest and the one I'm pretty excited about this year is the bargain I found at a yard sale of two of the glass urns. I had the front one already, and I knew exactly what I was going to do with them.
Last year I filled the small one with coffee beans and a vanilla candle. This year I filled it with French vanilla coffee beans, and a vanilla candle. the tall one with cinnamon sticks and a vanilla candle, and the middle one with mixed un-shelled nuts and a vanilla candle. My house smells fantastic!
I dislike Halloween, but I do have to admit that the month of October ushers in Fall beautifully and I love it.
