Hello and happy Friday!
TGIF!! I had a great week back to school, but not having students on Monday threw me off all week. I never knew what day is was, but I sure do know that today is Friday.
As always, I’m linking up with Andrea and Erika for this week’s Friday Favorites.
This week, my post is all about my favorite fall decorations.
I don’t think I shared a fall decor post last year because most everything was the same as when I shared my 2023 fall home tour.
Just like with that post, much hasn’t changed, but I did move a few things around this year and made a couple of small purchases.
I typically spruce up my front porch mid to late September, but I just didn’t have time to do so before fall break. Trav got the mums right before we left, and then once we got back from the beach, I purchased pumpkins and cornstalks.
I love how it turned out…
I’m still loving the new doormat.
I got “fantasy” pumpkins at Trader Joe’s, and then purchased a couple more at Kroger.
These pumpkin pillow covers were such a pleasant surprise when they arrived. I mean, I ordered them so I wasn’t surprised to receive them…I just mean that I was really pleased with the quality and cuteness!
I usually have different fall pillows here, but I loved these so much that I wanted them to be in a central location. I’d forgotten that I had this blanket, and it’s a nice pop of color between the neutral chairs and pillows.
My living room coffee table tray stays the same year to year.
Fall me thanked summer me when I went to my candle shelf in the hall closet and remembered that I’d purchased an Antique Candle Co “apple butter” candle on sale a few months ago.
I made a couple of small purchases a Michael’s a few weeks ago including this gold metal pumpkin bucket.
I also purchased two of these pumpkin vases because I wanted a little height on the mantel.
This pumpkin votive was the last Michael’s purchase that I made. It’s a nice festive touch on our wine rack in the kitchen.
I have two of these “morning pumpkin” pillows, but they typically go where the new ones go. Anyway, I used one on the chair in the kitchen.
Last weekend, I did make it to Hobby Lobby and found four of the embossed pumpkin plates that I had my eye on. I only see the salad plates online, but this plate is more medium sized…so bigger than a salad plate, but smaller than a dinner plate.
I wanted some new place mats, and these that I found on Amazon are so cute.
These mini pumpkin cocoettes are a few find and so cute.
I don’t do much in the basement, but I decided to use a couple of pillows that I typically put in the sun room down there.
When I was at Hobby Lobby, I picked up two of these fall LED candles to put on the basement bookshelves. I love the glow of them when we’re watching TV in the basement.
In our bedroom, I have one of my favorite raffia pumpkins that I got a Michael’s years ago. Its twin is on the living room coffee table.
One last Hobby Lobby purchase…this cute mug! I couldn’t resist.
I have a few more decorations here and there, but I really only put out a few of my favorite things this year.
Weekly Recap:
I had a few posts last week…and yesterday’s post (Fall break trip recap part 2) went out late yesterday. Ooops!
