A Little Fallishness

Happy October Everyone!
What a gorgeous fall weekend we had here in the Carolinas.
I hope you had a good one too. Join me for a little bit of fall I added
to our family room. A few pumpkins, potpourri and spicey candles.
What says fall more than this? Simple changes. That is my motto right now.







I could not resist sharing our Halloween kitty napping in the sun. Ah, the life.
Chestnut turns 8 later this month. He's our big ole' boy.
Have a wonderful week!

I love all your fall touches. I kept going back to the lantern, I just love it! Your runner on the coffee table is so pretty, especially with the big fall leaf and pumpkins displayed.

I am starting my first Linky Party this coming Thursday, and I would love for you to link this post, it's perfect! =)

Enjoy the nice weather! XO ~Liz

Everything looks great, Melissa. Don't you dread them packing all your lovelies for the move? I always worry about something I really like getting broken. Happy Fall!

I can just smell that pumpkin right through the screen! I bought two when we were in Garmisch this past spring to bring back with me and I'm burning them prudently!

My Photo
Welcome! Thank you for visiting my blog. I am a military wife married to a wonderful man for thirteen years. He's a pilot in the USMC and has done three fleet tours overseas. I am very proud of him and his hard work. For many years I worked in retail jewelry sales and finally decided it was time to stop and enjoy my decorating passion. We share our home with our huge cat Chestnut, Lloyd the cockatiel and a betta fish. I appreciate all of your comments and try to respond to as many as I possibly can. I would be happy for you to follow along. You're always welcome here anytime.

It's Me!

It's Me!
