I used a ceramic pumpkin and wire basket, I've had a few years, on the dining room table. This is the only fall decorating I'll do in this room.
*****************************************************
The cooler weather, we're having this week, has put me in the mood for fall decorating. I found everything I need in the basement storage. It's amazing how easy it is to get around and find things there, since the Garage Sale!I didn't decorate for fall, last year, because we started decorating for the Christmas open house in late September. Fall is my favorite season. I enjoy putting together little vignettes, throughout the house.
A closeup of the plant stand arrangement, was taken with the new camera. All the other photos were taken with my little Kodak camera. I'm keeping it nearby, until I learn more about the Canon.
This arrangement of faux leaves and pumpkins is in a large crock bowl, I've had several years. It sits in the center of the farmhouse style table in our breakfast room.
I plan to decorate the front door and back porch, over the weekend. I have some ideas dancing around in my head. What are your plans for fall decorating? I'm looking forward to seeing how you're celebrating Autumn.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Awsome. Love the post and can't wait to get mine all out.
What wonderful Autumn arrangements! For some reason I can never quite pull Fall decorating off....but perhaps with your pictures as inspiration I just might try again :)

Everything looks so pretty, Pat! What a lovely home you have. It is always a 'treat' to visit there! I especially love the bowl arrangement on your table.
I'm loving having some cooler temps, too. We will probably warm up some next week~but I'll enjoy it while I can.
Your beautiful home just lends itself to wonderfully seasonal decorating. You have such an eye...so elegant, so warm. You have the most lovely things.
I am always inspired by your skill as a decorator.
Hugs,
Sue
I love all the fall arrangements you have shown. You have a beautiful home.

Pat your Fall displays are really lovely - and your home always looks so elegant.
Think I'll start tomorrow - we are due our first rain in a month and hopefully some cooler temps. Housework and Fall decorating might be just the ticket!
Love what you have done so far.
You are very good at arranging your vignettes.
Can't wait to see what you come up with for the outside.
I am working on that now too.
Can't wait to show you.
Have fun,
Rosemary
Great idea! Now I know what I'm doing with my plant stand for fall!
Wow stunning arrangements. Love the one in the wicker planter. Would have loved to go to your garage sale looked liked a lot of fun stuff. cherry
Your autumn decorations are lovely and your autumn banner is perfect for the season. I'm heading to the US (New Hampshire) on Monday and hope to come home armed with lots of autumny bits and pieces, there's very little available over here so I make the most of my visits to the US. I'm hoping for some genuine Fall colour while I'm on your side of the pond.
Pat,
Lovely decorations. That orange pumpkin really stands out against the black of your dining room. The wicker planter by the window is stunning! Great job putting that together!! Enjoyed reading about your new camera and seeing your photo effects. It's amazing how they change, but still look natural. Keep posting!!

You know, I had just about talked myself out of the whole "fall tree" idea, but after seeing all of your lovely decorations, I'm back in the mood for it! Gosh I love fall and I love the colors and the themes and...oh, just ALL of it! The temps here are back into the 90's after a couple of days in the 80's...I feel like we're going the wrong way here with the fall weather I've been dreaming about! I've been fussing at my husband about needing to live where there's longer winters and shorter summers...I said that I'd heard Ohio was great and darned if he didn't apply for a job in Toledo today. Toledo???? You know, I've really got to be more careful what I say to that man. He takes me FAR TOO SERIOUSLY sometimes. lol
Wonderfulfall arragements Pat - it all looks fabulous! I don't do too much cause we do quite a bit outside for Christmas and I just don't have the desire (or energy LOL) to keep taking things down and putting stuff up.
Manuela
Love the pictures and will post mine this weekend.
Your vignettes are delightful!
Thanks Pat for visiting me and the kind words you left. I LOVE your blog...the photos are so rich and full of texture! We are "dressing up" the house for fall this weekend as well.
Thanks again for stopping by and I will for sure be back! (OK to add you?)
Blessings for a Wonderful day!

Next to Christmas - decorating for Fall is my favourite! Your decorations are spectacular & your home looks so beautifully inviting.
Enjoy the weekend Pat.
Pat I love your fall pictures. You take beautiful pictures. I would love to decorate for fall, but Inever do. I'm going to try next year. The only decorating I'm doing here is filling a glass dish with Buckeyes that I keep picking up on my walks. I've always loved those!
Oh Pat, as always your decorations are simply wonderful! I am enjoying Fall... inspired by your wonderful collages, I made a Fall one for myself, stop by and see it when you get a chance... Happy Fall, Pat!
Love your Blog. So glad I happened upon it. I'm anxious to start my fall decorating. Especially my front porch. Thank you for inspiration!

Hey, nice to see you again -- thanks for popping by! You have such a beautiful home and your decorations are beautiful!
Love the new camera, too -- my parents just bought the same one and I'm hoping for a similar one in the near future. (Say, about Christmastime!) After reading which photo manipulation program you used on that tree photo, I immediately downloaded it. I can hardly wait to experiment!! Thanks for telling us what you used!
Such beautiful decorating! Can't wait to see what you do to the front door!
I always dream up pretty ideas that I never use! heehee I get inspiration from the fall fairs here in New England.
Oh My! How lovely. I'm working right now on a fall scrap kit with some of the very items you have in your decor. Will share on my blog when it is finished. Now to decorate my house a little too! They say we aren't having a pretty fall this year due to the heat. But I'll bet I can find something colorful for some photos!! xoxo
Oh, no...Fall. I'm not READY for fall. It's still summer in my neck of the woods! But, if I was ready you're photos would be my inspirations.
Your decorations are truly beautiful.
Hi Pat! Thanks for visiting! My Grandma and Mother were born in Joplin! Good to "meet" ya! I love your style and the pumpkins are fabulous! Come and vsisit often! I will add you to my favorites if that's OK with you! Lisa
Your Fall arrangements are beautiful! I've been inspired!
Donna
Pat,
I just wanted to thank you for the times you have visited my blog and left such nice comments. Every time I tried to come visit you, I ended up in the wrong place, I think maybe your address was wrong and there is another less charming back porch musing out there.
Inadvertently but quite to my surprise, I found you another way!
I am SO delighted I did! What a lovely blog this is! I feel like I have missed out by not finding you sooner! I will definitely have some catching up to do! What fun that will be!
Thanks again for seeking me out, and I look forward to visiting regularly now that I know where to find you!
Melissa
Pat, your decorations look so lovely. You just have the right touch to make it all so pretty. Thanks for sharing your pictures. I'll look forward to seeing the porches after you decorate those.
Pat, this looks beautiful! I especially love the arrangement in the white wicker planter. Have a wonderful weekend.
Karen
Everything looks wonderful. I love Fall! It's still pretty warm here in Florida, but I'm having a luncheon next Thursday and I plan to decorate with a Fall theme anyway.
Hugs!

Hey Pat!
Congrats on the new camera. I've been reading about that one. Great ratings.
I totally forgot that you didn't do fall decorating last year with the open house you did. The new pictures really make me long for the cooler weather and the fresh smell of fall.
Love those pictures!
Donna
Love your fall decorating...great new camera... and I just love the photo editing you did with the Picassa. You are such a wonderful photographer! I can't wait to see what you do with the Canon!!
Blessings!
I think you have convinced me...........I will have to get out the fall decorations tomorrow!! They certainly won't compare to what I have seen at your house, but will get a start. We have freeze warnings out for tonight.......sure hope not!!! Talk to you later.
you have the perfect setting for fall colors.
I love the wicker planter!! Everything looks lovely-so Autumnal!!
Let's see - combine YOU, with a new camera, AND your amazing decorating talent and what do we have? Gorgeous inspiration and beautiful things to see! Love your fall arrangements Pat!

Kim
We are growing pumpkins for the first time this year. There are one of the food plants that are doing ok:-) Love your decorations!
Pat- I am glad I stopped by to see your Fall pretties, and tickled to see that you chose the Rebel. You're going to love this camera! I've been having great fun with mine, but am taking the time to savor the process of getting to know it better before I fall for it completely! ;)Should have some pix to share from KC some time this weekend!
Oh My Gosh! I would have thought I had died and gone to heaven if I could have attended your yard sale. You ask how each of us are Fall decorating. Well, I am going to ask you to come to my house and fall decorate. How about that! You really put me in the spirit to get started. Your blog is fabulous and I would like to add it to my blog. Thank you for visiting. ~ Lynn
