Although the official first day of Fall is not until the 22nd, once September has arrived I get Fall Fever.
There is a slight chill in the morning air and our Utah mountains are gearing up for putting on their yearly spectacular show.
It’s time to freshen up our home with some of the beautiful orange, gold, green, and earth tones that signify Fall.
I created the Fall window after seeing one that Trisha from Glass Slippers and All That Stuff used to hold the word Love. I didn’t have a four pane window so I divided it with a strip of burlap topped with a rolled rose. I had a 6 pane one and debated about writing A.U.T.U.M.N.
Fall is a season of BLISS! Cooler temps and colorful mountains.
An assortment of fabric pumpkins spill out from a vintage shopping basket.
This banner was one that I pinned to my ‘Fabulous Fall’ Pinterest board. It was a quick, easy, and fun project.
Made from old book pages, scrapbook paper, buttons, and strung on bakers twine.
Aren’t the eyes on this owl just so cute?
To carry on the book page theme I brought in a rustic branch and added some leaves cut from book pages. I also added some of the hot wings from my Maple tree and a few real dried leaves.
All together it makes a simplistic Fall mantle.
On the hearth a rustic box that I white washed is filled with last years dried Limelight Hydrangea blooms.
Although Spring is still my favorite season I love so many things about Fall. Harvesting all of the wonderful bounty from my garden is just one of them!
Happy Fall Y’all!
hugs,
Jann

C-U-T-E~!!!
Love, love, love, those fabric pumpkins~!
I have fall fever too, but I'm trying to milk it out a week, or two more before I drag out the fall decor...
Love it all!

Everything looks so nice and lovely!
And I'm jealous, as here summer is still in full force - it's hot and terribly humid.... :(
Hi Jann! Oh, I love it! Everything looks so lovely.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia :)
You are so with it -- I'm envious!! I'm really getting anxious for Fall now, as the garden has been so prolific; I'm begging my friends to deliver me from all the produce. The freezer is getting full - just enough room left for tomatoes and carrots. Green beens, anyone; I can't look at another one?? Take care, Sally
I'm still holding off on decorating completely for Fall. Soon, though! Your mantle and hearth look great!
Beautiful ideas Jann. I've started putting out some fall things too. I like the banner with the old book pages and pumpkins. It looks easy to do. Have a wonderful week! Hugs, Pamela
Hi Jann...so glad to know I am not the only blogger totally in Fall mode!!! I love the colors of the season...maybe because I was born in the autumn. Your display is just beautiful...such creativity. Wishing you a wonderful holiday weekend.

Your window turned out PERFECT! I just love your whole mantle and the book page theme. Now I need a fall window...have a great week!

I'm in love with your mantel and pinning all these wonderful ideas!
Jan
I love your cloth pumpkins!
I may try making some.
Spring is my favorite time too, but Fall is pretty darn close.
Love your Fall mantle! I have Fall fever too and plan to put my Fall things out next week.
hugs,
Cindy
Lovely seasonal mantle...Fall is my FAV time of year and I am thrilled it is September....now, if the temps in SO Ca would just cooperate and cool down!
As we turn our calendar page, the weather has suddenly changed from unbearably hot and humid to chilly and overcast. I've got the bug to haul out my autumn decor, too. I love your mantel with the black owl watching over. :)
Your views of the mountains must be spectacular in the fall!
Jann, Your mantle is so cute and ready for autumn. I love the plaid pumpkins.:):) Dried hydrangeas look good with any decor , I think. Blessings to you. xoxo,Susie
I so love that owl, especially with the fat pumpkins. Jann how do you dry your hydrangeas? Thank you!

I am bookmarking this post for when I'm inspired to 'do' Fall. It's too hot here to think of it yet! I may have to copy cat you and white wash one of the rustic boxes I made in early summer.
Very cute! So ready for fall! Thanks for sharing! Stop by my Friday's Five Features tomorrow and link up this post (and others)! http://diy-vintage-chic.blogspot.com

Thanks for the Fall inspiration. I'm not quite ready to give up on Summer yet. Maybe next week!
Your owl has so much character!

Oh dear me, I love your fall mantle. The fabric pumpkins are adorable, and I really like the way you made your Fall window pane. I too like book pages, and I may have to make myself some leaves. So lovely on the bare branch. Thanks for sharing your gift! xoxo
