FALL IS IN THE AIR
Fall is almost here! A little over 2 weeks left of Summer. I haven't decided how much I am going to decorate this year. Will I decorate for Halloween, not sure yet. I am not crazy about carving my pumpkins. I prefer to just decorate with whole pumpkins. I love using decorative scarecrows with a bundle of hay and pumpkins of all sizes, but with all the dry weather we have here I am a little afraid to do that this year due to fire dangers. I have thought of planting some pumpkin seeds/seedlings, making use of nature as decor. Of course I always forget because in the the springtime, fall plants are not on my mind. One year I also cleaned out a pumpkin and filled it with potting soil and pansy's. When fall was over we just dug a hole and dropped the whole pumpkin into it and covered it up.
I really don't do a lot with the interior for fall, just set a few select items around. Change out the potpourri to a more fall color. Getting the right color of potpourri without the fall scents is a challenge for me since I am allergic to cinnamon.
I just had a great idea pop into my head, since I am allergic to cinnamon and can't use the scents in my decor, due to the oils I am going to put a tall candle into a tall round vase and then fill it with coffee beans. This could also be a nice little hostess gift.
a nice decoration and a nice treat for the squirrels
How homey, great fall look without going overboard
This is pretty. For my tasted I would use a less bright fall leaf though.
