It occurred to me the other day that Halloween is just over a week away.
Where did October go?
It’s pumpkin season. It’s acorns and maple leaves. It’s warm days and chilly nights
and the fresh Fall air that is so enjoyable to go for a run in.
I know I was just decorating for Autumn
and now those pumpkins are turning a little more
ghost and goblins and creepy for Halloween.
Of course, Halloween only stays up at our house a very short amount of time…
because on November 1st- Christmas starts appearing.
🙂
So I have a few more peeks at Autumn
that I haven’t shared yet~ and thought I better get going

Simple and natural is my mantra when it comes to Fall decor… and this year
my favorite element has been wheat.
It is abundant in the cottage and making an appearance in several spots.
I have a bunch of it in each of the living spaces-

I love when seasonal touches blend with the everyday and you don’t have to make super big changes to your decor for the season. They can easily be tucked in.
A couple little pumpkins and gourds tucked on the shelves,
and a chunky spidery gray one of the counter
Love the mix and mingle with dried sunflowers
and safflower.

The cottage is filled with dried flowers- I save almost all of them all year long when they dry
to use in various rooms and designs
They hang in bunches from the ceiling rafters in the kitchen and dining area
and from the ladder rungs in the living room.
(as you requested~ a post is coming your way about how I dry my flowers soon.)

You can see more Autumn in the guest cottage here

whose simple look was inspired by that Habitat for Humanity find
the delightful antique green door.
Super busy and such a fun weekend over here in High Point
I have been so inspired by the furniture, the accessories and the kind and generous people I have met
The Fall Market has been so fantastic
and I hope be able to share some exciting things with you soon!
Happy Tuesday!

How beautiful and calming! I love the wheat! My fall decor is simple also and I'm glad I'm not the only one. Thanksgiving is a wonderful time of the year. A time to count our blessings and not stress about the fall decor, just add a touch here and there.
