As I said yesterday, my fall decor is pretty lame. I lack confidence in the decorating department. What can I say, I have The Nester as a sister. Who can live up to that? Still, looking at all your homes on Kimba's Mr. Linky has encouraged me to share in the fun anyway. After all, it doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful, right?
Take this festively decked out door, for example. I am so creative. And beginning with that will make everything else look better.
The beautiful thing about these mums with no pots is that they were really cheap at the farmers market: only two dollars.
Another cheap, potless mum. Pots are so much trouble. See? Lame.
Here are the things on my sideboard in my dining room. I found these sticks and acorns in our yard and stuck them in these jars. If I were to zoom out, you would notice that my mirror is not hung on the wall yet and one of my sideboard lamps is missing a light bulb. So I couldn't zoom out. You understand.
That's about the extent of it, folks. My fall isn't even very fall-y. It looks a bit more like spring in this photo. I get a little more brave at Christmas. Can't wait to cover that banister with garland.

If it helps any, you helped me with an idea!! I just bought one of those tall slender apothecary type jars for a buck at the thrift store. I didn't know what to put in it. I think we will go on a nature hike tomorrow and get some sticks and maybe some cool leaves to do in it.
Thanks for sharing!!
God bless,

We love you....lots of fall or little....I have my whole fall box of decor still up in the attic. I have to venture into the abyss and get with it.
I think it looks lovely! Your place is simple and clean, which is much more than I can say!
it looks cute to me. better than mine. love the white pumpkin.
Christmas is way more fun anyways! Who needs Fall!
I just love your blog. and I really. really needed some smiles today~
That banister is fabulous, darling. It will look so happy decked out for Christmas.
Just like all your readers, I think you are wonderful, with fall decor or not! I posted my decor on Kimba's site, but then saw everyone else's and thought, "Oh dear, I am so very amateur!" Oh well, my kids love it, and if the kids are happy, then I am happy too! P.S. I didn't put my mums in pots either, I just grouped them on the porch and hoped no one noticed! hee hee
I like your decorations! They look very nice, you should be more confident.
Looks great!!
Your home is every bit as beautiful as your sissy's house.
I love your fall decorating. It far surpasses mine, which is pretty non-existent. Do you reckon if I ran outside and gathered up a few dead, dry leaves and threw them on the kitchen table that would suffice?
Ok I forgot to post this yesterday--When I looked through your pictures yesterday I wasn't fully awake and I thought I was looking at SouleMama's blog...Fabulous pictures! When I clicked on her blog to show my husband the pictures I had a momma moment and it took me a while to get back to your blog--I just love the pictures! Those are your fall decorations friend.
I love all your fall touches!! I bought the mums that came in a basket so I wouldn't have to use a pot. :)
Get some confidence girl!!! These pictures are beautiful!
My mums aren't in pots either :)
The leaf in the door is a brilliant touch. Elegantly simple. Dare I say, haphazardly perfect. And your potless mums? (She throws kisses into the air). It's my kind of fall decorating!
I haven't finished decorating (okay haven't really started) so you're ahead of me. I think I've just gotten tired so I don't decorate so much anymore. It looks nice though what you've done.
I think this is the first year I even considered decorating for fall. It takes me so long to contemplate what I am going to do, I may be ready to actually do it by next fall. I think I know whatever I put out may end up being a used as a soccer ball. Of course, that may just be an excuse to procastinate - I think I hear the wet clothes in the washer calling. . .
I'm with ya... I haven't added one single fall decoration to my house. It's sad, really.
love your post.
Glad you are so down to earth
Everything is so beautiful! Simply delightful!

I think you're ahead of me in the fall decorating department. And I have a Nester-like sister, as well...nothing could compare. C'est la vie!
Dang! Mums for $2???? I'm extremely jealous!!! They're gorgeous and add tons of fall color to your place. (could you find some cheap buckets to stick them in? Maybe spray paint the buckets the same color) I love the glass jars filled with found objects. Very pretty and perfect! :)
That is a fabulous price for mums!! Your decorating looks great!
i love that your home "whispers" Autumn. It's gorgeous! :)
I just found your blog through a link on a friend's blog. I love your pictures. What kind of camera do you use?
Those mums aren't in a pot?
I am confused.
If I had them, I would do what you did & love em!
Perhaps tie a bow.
The container they are in is fine by me.
You're better than I with the fall decor out. I gotta check our farmer's markets though..2 bucks?!
Wowzers! :)
