Under the Autumn Moon

** Edited**

I'm linking up with Liz over at Savvy Seasons for an Autumn linky party....



Go check out her beautifully decorated house, along with many others,
for some great Autumn inspiration!!!!

*******************************

Hey there, my friends!!

I honestly don't know what "under the autumn moon" means,
but I do like the way it sounds (I'll google it).............

Apparently, I was really excited about Fall last year..................

and we celebrated with {pumpkin} cupcakes!!!!

and I decorated every flat surface - horizontal & vertical - in the public areas of our home..........

the fireplace mantel............

the kitchen bar............

the guest bathroom candelier...........

the bathroom vanity..........

even the back of the toilet!!!

Of course, the entryway.............

 - and the front door!!!

It didn't end there, my friends!!

I hosted a girls' night soiree for a few of my favorite peeps,

so the decorating actually began in the front yard..........

and continued onto the back patio........

OH, but this year - NOT SO MUCH!!

This is it..................

 

 pansies and mums in the original, black, plastic pots from Lowe's -

I did place them inside cute containers....

(the picnic basket below is actually one of my treasures from my recent road trip)

When I saw it, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it............

(and it was only $12)

and a couple of pumpkins purchased at Wal-Mart............

LOVE the colors of the picnic basket!!

rickety, old Adirondack chairs my mom was going to throw away

 (what???!!!! I rescued those babies!!)

and a couple of other treasures found recently.........

a wooden barrel and a metal bucket - perfect!!

No fall decorating has taken place inside the farmhouse this year and

No pumpkin cupcakes have been served!!

But I did cook chili for dinner last night, so I think it really is Fall here in my world!!

Happy Fall, my wonderful friends!!!

The Man and I just returned from a 9 day road trip.  It was awesome!

I really, really overpacked - but still wore some of my favorites
