A Hint of Fall

I don’t decorate for fall for a couple of reasons.  First, because “fall” is really just the end of summer here in Georgia. If I were to line my steps with pumpkins in August, they would all be rotten by September.  But the primary reason is that I LOVE Halloween and go all out for that.  So, it seems silly to decorate for fall and then turn around and take that down to put up all the spooky things.  That being said, I did pick up some sunflowers at Trader Joe’s and light my Animal Kingdom Lodge candle from Spireside Candles.

The candle is a great fall like scent, although it doesn’t remind me of Animal Kingdom Lodge per se.   It is now called Rustic Hall with the sweet, earthy and comforting scent of vanilla infused sandalwood.  My everyday favorite is Clover Fields and smells just like Grand Floridian!

The vase is Lilly Pulitzer and the tray is Target.  I love both of them and use them almost always on my kitchen table.  Mother gave me the honey keeper.

I used the leftovers from this arrangement to make a tiny one in the den.

For a real life version, just zoom out to also find the THREE remote controls needed to operate this one tv.  :-)

Happy fall, y’all! If only some cooler fall temps would make their way to Georgia, that would be fantastic.

  1. We don’t decorate for fall in August in New England either. The last days of warm summer weather need their own enjoyment. And, the mums and pumpkins don’t really appear in stores until September although the fall home decor would have been on the shelves for a few weeks! I always like to decorate with a “back to school” theme in September, Halloween accents for October and harvest/Thanksgiving in November. Unfortunately, the mum plants here don’t usually make it to November, and, often the outdoor pumpkins will have been attacked by birds and squirrels by then. But, indoors, I like warmer scented candles, all manner of pumpkin decor and some Halloween touches. Your Disney candles sound delightful!

  2. Didn’t spireside have candles that smelled like the beach club and the Polynesian? I went to order some and couldn’t find them. Didn’t know if maybe they were seasonal?

  3. I am the same about fall, Halloween is what I decorate for. I have a hard time waiting to put up all my skeletons, bats and witches. I love to see your home decorated for the fun holiday and than you for sharing.

  4. This is a fact of life here in Georgia, isn’t it?

    I look forward to you Halloween house every year, and this year is no different!

    Have a great weekend! xo
