Hang a grapevine wreath adorned with colorful mums on your door, or how about using
wreath as a centerpiece. Lay it in
middle of any table and place a ceramic or even real pumpkin in
middle.
Speaking of pumpkins, purchase a few (real or not) and spread them around your home both inside and out. Combine them with colorful gourds and apples in containers and they really look festive. Take a look around local discount and craft stores for artificial fruit.. The advantage to these is once this season has passed they can be packed away until needed again next year, so this makes for a very economical investment.
Scent is another indication of
fall season. Candles and potpourri in fall fragrances like pumpkin; spiced apple or cider will make walking into your home a wonderful experience. Below are a couple of favorites of mine.
Potpourri - “Natures Own Potpourri”, located in Tennessee, I have used many different brands and this is by far
best. Some of my favorite scents are: Apple Tree, American Harvest & Country Retreat.
Candles – Village Candle Factory Store, located in Topsham Maine. I’ve been burning candles for many years and these are in my opinion
best. As for
smell, well all I can say is yummmmm. My favorites consist of: Crisp Apple, Spiced Pumpkin, Mulled Cider & Gingerbread.
How ever you decide to celebrate and decorate for fall, stay warm, get comfortable and settle in while you wait for
next season to visit.
