September 23rd was the first day of fall, but I pulled out my fall decor a couple weeks earlier. It is always exciting for me, because my house is already in fall colors with browns, maroons and oranges.

I had so much I wanted to share but I couldn’t fit it all in the board. I just love the vase with the mini faux pumpkins I bought at a craft store. I’m going on three years of using it and still haven’t gotten tired of it.

I love faux flowers, if they are quality made. I mixed my large floor vase with real dried cattails and grasses (also around 3 years of use).

Also toward the bottom are two plates that I painted at a class held by an All Fired Up store. This fall, I’m going to do a stained glass class. Fall is the best time for crafting.

And apples. I can’t wait to go to an apple orchard and pumpkin patch with Jameson.

But just when you think fall is really in swing, late blooming flowers arrive on scene. Hello, dahlias.

I hope they finish blooming before frost arrives. I would hate to see all their lovely potential go to waste. Happy Fall everyone!
