Good Bye Summer-Hello Fall!

Just look at this beauty!!!  This is the window box right outside my craft room window. I get to enjoy it from both the inside and the outside.  I just love the little cup and saucer garden picks, but you know me, love those old dishes!!!  Looking at this window box makes one think that it is still summer.
A few Black eyed Susan's are still blooming!  Bless their hearts, they are not ready to give up summer!  My husband is right there with them.  We have had this discussion going on all week, he says it's still "summer" and I say it is "fall"!  We all know that Labor Day officially ends summer, right?????  He just likes to tease me knowing that fall is my very favorite time of the year.  I love everything about fall!!  Especially decorating!  Do you believe I have more fall decorations than Christmas?  It's true!!

This week, as the laundry pile grew,  I went on a decorating binge.  I guess you could call it a "Decorating Frenzy", dragging the boxes up from the basement and unpacking all my goodies.  It is like opening lots of  presents.  Treasures that were put away last year, forgotten about, only to be rediscovered again.   This little picture is one of those treasures.  I made it probably a good ten years ago and it still delights me.  By now I have quite a collection of pumpkins too. About every year I find another pumpkin that I just have to have and this year was no exception!
Here is this years winner!  The pumpkin that I just could not live without.!  Ha!  It is my new favorite!

A muslin tag hangs from the side by a rusty little safety pin.  The white pumpkin is dirtied up with some cinnamon.  Tree branch stems adds to the rustiness.  A real fun one to add to my collection!!
Subway art has become so popular!  On a recent shopping trip, I found this little sign.
 
Sorry honey, but in our home fall has arrived!  Good bye summer, hello fall!  Keep smiling!

From our Happy Home to Yours!
