Summer is slowly winding down and the first signs of Fall are starting to appear. I think it's just about the perfect time to start getting ready for Fall.
Growing up in Colombia, I was so used to the eternal Summer. The image of a world where Fall existed never appeared in my mind. It was a bit different for Winter, with Christmas so tight to it.
I knew that somewhere in the world it was cold, a few times we even decorated our tiendita (little shop), with snowflakes. :)
Nowadays, I'm beyond grateful to be able to witness all those majestic changes mother nature throw at us during the year. I cannot say I favorite a season over the other, but I'm always ready to embrace the new season as soon as those small changes start popping in the air.
Yes, I'm so excited for Fall!
This week I started bringing up my Fall decor from the basement and the first item to be unpacked were those little felt pumpkins that I wanted to display in a bowl.
But, there was a tiny problem with that bowl as you can see.
I love this bowl, it was a gift from my daughter, she bought it like that, with that missing piece. A one dollar clearance item that she knew I would love and could fix. Oh, she knows me. :D
Yep, a little bit of paint disguised that broken tooth.
Can you spot it here?
Well, that was an easy solution and a very easy way to display Fall decor, which brings me to share with you TEN easy Fall decor ideas you can create right now!
1. FILL A BOWL WITH PUMPKINS
Yes, you can fill a bowl, a clear glass container or big jar with little pumpkins or acorns, and they don't have to be real!
2. ADD A WREATH

So many great ideas! Here in Texas it continues to feel like summer until October practically. Pretty soon I just ignore it and pretend that we have fall while the AC blows. ;)
ReplyDeleteLol Oh Stacey, it's kind of the same thing around here! :D Though, the streets are already holding a good bunch of fallen leaves. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteHa, Ha. Same her, Stacey. I live in Georgia and have sat outside in Bermuda shorts to give out Halloween candy! Christina, your Fall ideas are lovely. I love the blue lantern with the orange berries.
ReplyDeleteOops, should have said, same here.
ReplyDeleteSuch great ideas! I'm gonna share this post in a Friday Loves post on the Blended Blog! I'm just not ready for fall yet and since it doesn't feel like it, I can ignore it a while longer...
