My china cabinet boasts a festive garland. The candlesticks keep it from falling off:
Here is the front door. Note the very important pennant, without which it is not "really " autumn at our house:
I always put my autumn quilt front-and-center. I did this one completely by hand:
Okay, so now every window had to have a garland, or they looked naked:
Today, Johnny Tremain and Rocky Balboa went to a Cubs game in Chicago, so Lily and Forget-me-not came over with the children. Here are Blueberry and Sweet Pea just hangin' out:
Alvin Fernald has a class tomorrow to get certified in First Aid. It will be great for him, and he will qualify for a Royal Ranger merit as well. Lily and I are going to Jo-Ann's--they have a Saturday-only sale on flannels for $2.99--maybe I can get started on Christmas jammy-pants!This weekend is our favorite festival of the year--the Johnny Appleseed festival. (he is buried in our town.) Yum--apple cider, apple dumplings, demos of spinning, soap-making, handmade musical instruments (and lots of music, too.) Opportunities to spend lots of cash. Fun, fun, fun!
Tonight, just Alvin and I are home. Maybe I'll cut some sewing-thing out, and maybe just begin to go through the giant stack of projects....

It looks really lovely. You know we don't do this kind of decorating in the UK...perhaps I could start a new tradition. I love Autumn and the DH is raking leaves while we speak...good man!
Dear Mrs. Plain and Simple,
You have GOT to love a man when he is raking leaves!
Lovely photos!
How fun to start decorating!
I should. I want to. Maybe we will this week!
Johnny Appleseed! What a fun festival...the children love his story and I would love to take them their to show them! Maybe one year!
I love the purple tones in with the more traditional autumn colours. It brings an extra richness to the colour scheme.
Dear Barbara...

Thank you!
