Fall is Coming...Someday
If I could bring fall in just by "wishing"...it would arrive in Texas bigger than life. In reality, the air conditioner is still blasting to help curb the 90 degree temps and the 150% humidity. (well, at least it feels that way!!) Not to be defeated, I like to help create the "feeling of fall" by decorating our home with all of my favorite "fallish" items. And of course...by burning my FAVORITE fall scented candle by Yankee Candles-Spiced Pumpkin...yummmmm! Somehow I believe that it might help hasten the arrival of the season. So far, it is hotter than the dickens out...but I am ever hopeful! Besides, soon we will get a taste of the real thing when we travel to visit family in Ohio and enjoy time together camping, attending the BEST period craft show, visiting and hanging out. Ashley and Casey are driving down to meet us...so that is an extra special treat! I thought I'd share a pictorial tour with you in case you are also suffering from the "I need my fall fix" dilemma. Enjoy!
My Scarecrow friend beside a wooden pumpkin I made years ago...
The girls got me this adorable pumpkin votive candle holder last year to add to my fall decor collection. I burn Yankee Spiced Pumpkin votives in this on our kitchen counter...more of my favorite scent!!
I LOVE candles burning...especially in the fall...
A basket of plenty on the fireplace hearth in our new family room...
Many of my decorations are purchased from Hobby Lobby during a 50% off sale! This one I found a basic wreath and added a few "extra" things to get the look I wanted...

More Spiced Pumpkin votives on the mantle...
I enjoy having a mantle to decorate this year!!
And yet more candles...

I love Hobby Lobby's sales! Those are cute, warm, and welcoming. I can;t burn candles -- I think I'm allergic to them, or at least the heavily scented ones. But I have a few anyway just for decoration. Love the votive holder with the three hanging pumpkins.
Everything looks beautiful! (and I just love Hobby Lobby!) :o)
your decorations are absolutely beautiful. i can see why you want fall to arrive quickly. we're supposed to get more warm weather here in colorado. i'm with you... good bye summer - hello fall.
and have a good trip.
Cozy, warm, and inviting. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I'll be back to visit. :)
Lovely. Fall is not here in Oklahoma either!!!! Green, green trees and hot.

Just lovely. I love candles so much and my favorite is aromatic. I haven't picked one up yet. It's the apple cider one.
I don't put stuff out for the fall season because I hate tacky, but you make it look so beautiful. Love that filter on the last photo. It gives just the right touch.
Ohhhh....your fall decorations are SO pretty!!
Beautiful fall decor! It all looks so warm and welcoming..
hugs!
I love your decorations - especially your door hanging. It's beautiful! I hope the look of fall in the air will make you feel a little cooler - I can't imagine that kind of heat this time of year! We are in the 60's today with clouds and sprinkles of rain. Maybe it will come your way soon!
Your fall decorations are beautfiul! Our cold weather has come way too soon! :)
Hi Diane, All of your fall decorations look wonderful.....I got some fall things from ACMoore craft store. When I decorate I will take pictures and show all of you.It has rained all day and will continue thro the week-end.It has cooled us off a little.Thanks for sharing ... Baba
Beautiful!
I love Hobby Lobby! I was so excited a couple of years ago when we got one nearby. And the sales are great!
You have such lovely taste.
I would love to go to a craft show. Be sure to bring home a boat load of goodies.
Oh, those are all such beautiful decorations!! And wonderful pictures to show them off, too! (by the way, you could gladly send some of that heat up here to the Canadian prairies if you want to get rid of it!!)
I love fall too--and your decorations are beautiful! I went to Hobby Lobby for the first time a few weeks ago when I was in Alabama. Wow!! I was amazed and wished we had them in California.
Beautiful. I love all your fall decor. So pretty. It all looks so nice.
I love pumpkins and candles.
Thanks for showing it to us.
I love Hobby Lobby. I've found some great things there too.
I love your photos and the weatherman says Fall is on the way... in a matter of hours he says. I believe it when I feel it! :-) Chat with you soon--dee
Awwww...I think they're beautiful. I'm out blog surfing today and I'm so glad I got to see your decor. I posted mine last Sunday...I just love Fall things, but like you, I live in a hot place (Florida). We just pretend it's colorful and cool outside!
:-) Susan
Wow, I'd love to come over for a nice cup of hot tea, your home is beautiful and inviting!
