Pumpkins say Fall

 What is fall decorating without the pumpkin?

It's the must have accessory for welcoming the autumn season~

I spent a good part of the day outside yesterday

and it was a picture perfect fall day in New England.

The leaves are turning and some have fallen,

and many homes have fall decorations signaling the change.

 A simple grouping of pumpkins is the easiest way to decorate for fall.

 A more elaborate farm stand look can be achieved

 by loading up the pumpkins

and the potted mums. The front door is graced by 

dried corn stalks and wreaths.

 I found these images inside this issue of Cottages and Bungalows.

There are lots of great ideas for fall decor inside.

 Love this simple idea of using thumbtacks to create a monogram.

 A rustic table is set on this covered outdoor porch, 

complete with pumpkins. 

I joined the throngs at the supermarket this morning as a hurricane is headed 

our way~so while I waited in line, I looked through Cottages and Bungalows

and had to add it to my cart!  Today is my day off and I was looking forward to actually cooking a meal, after I replenished our empty shelves. I used to do this all the time, but these days those domestic moments are few and far between.  So even though there were crowds at the market, I really didn't mind. I hope the storm just blows on through without causing harm or damage.  

 And even though it was my day off, Boston was OPEN

 for business~soI stopped in the shop to check it out and 

say hi to Justin. We are turning over stock pretty quickly, 

and when larger items sell, the small store gets a new look!

The wall banners have been a big seller, 

both online and in the shop.  

As far as decorating with pumpkins goes~

we have a couple of small white ones in the shop.

A silver and gold leaf garland too~

 Our (orangeless) Maison Decor fall style.

Back at home we indulge in the traditional fall colors

of orange~it may not be my favorite color, but 

it feels right between summer and winter.
