With fall just around the corner, our summer is almost over, and its time for Bonfires, Football,and sweatshirts,and it's time to think about decorating for Fall, Halloween, and Thanksgiving!
I found putting out all my Fall, Halloween and Thanksgiving at once and leaving it up until the Sunday after Thanksgiving works best for me....its not so hard to tear down and put up the tree.. It also alleviates the stress of having to take down and up new decor depending on the holiday. Its all there, its all a part of fall....who cares! NOT ME! The simpler the better.
I generally use a lot of brown, amber, and golds in my glassware, and use dishware with fall leaf motifs the first part of September, then by the end of the month I add in my Halloween, and Thanksgiving decor items that are specific to those two holidays. I use lots of silk fall leaves too. Here are some suggestions to start the process of "falling" up your house.
1970's Candy dish to put all those fall colored M & M's in! My favorite, I always have lots of them in the house from September 1st to January 1st! They are a staple for this seasonal holiday season. My grands would be lost without them.
Plates that depict the fall harvest of fruits, garden vegetables like - corn, squash, and pumpkins will lend themselves to the cause.
How about this Taylor Smith Taylor Fall Leaf design....it works for me!
A brown sugar bowl is good to put a tea light in, use the battery operated kind....no wax to clean out. This piece below is a replicated Federal piece that was made in the 1970's to commemorate the Bi-Centennial. Federal Glass originally produced them in the early 1900's in Carnival Glass.
So get out there and shop, thrift or what ever it takes to get the job done.
HAPPY FALL YA ALL!
Blessings to all,
