  1. It's bittersweet for me every year to say goodbye to summer and have to welcome in fall. With the exception of football season and cooler weather fall depresses me because I know winter is next and here comes the cold and snow! We do our fair share to make sure we are festive with mums and fall plantings and fall smelling candles in the house. The scents of fall I enjoy, not the raking of the leaves. :)

    1. Scott, I would have to agree about the raking of the leaves. --Especially because all the leaves in our yard are from our neighbors trees, lol. Fall smelling candles are wonderful. I think my two favorite are apple, and pumpkin scent. Thanks so much for stopping by, and sharing your thoughts with me. :)

  2. Ooop fall is just around the corner, isn't it?! I can't wait to grab some fall scented candles from bath and body works or something!

  3. I love the change of seasons. Fall is such a magical time; the color change of leaves, getting out sweaters and adding another blanket onto the bed. And these tips are really fantastic to help getting ready for the cozy season.

  4. These are all great tips! I do several of them myself and might have to start a couple of the others you have listed here like the garland lights.

    1. Thank you! The garland leaf with lights is a beautiful addition. Thank you for stopping by.

  5. I love the idea of the leaf garland with lights in the window. Our stairs don't have a banister, so this would be perfect. I put out my pumpkin decorations in September and leave them up through the end of November. Plus, there's just something about apple cider, cinnamon, and pumpkins that appeal to all my senses!

    1. Tracy, I can't wait to have some apple cider, and just open all the windows and let in the cool breeze. And yes the leaf garland in the window is so pretty. I love putting it out when the season begins.

  8. Summer is my favourite season, so I always feel a bit sad once the chrysanthemums start coming out. On the other hand, Fall is the start of sweater weather and I do have a weakness for those. I don't normally decorate for Fall, but maybe I should start. It's a nice way to celebrate the season instead of focusing on there being no more summer.

  9. Love the idea of adding a leaf garland with lights, and candles too! If it were up to me I'd keep those things all year round!

  10. Fall is my FAVOURITE time of year, hands down - although it is mainly due to Halloween. The difference with us is that many 'Halloween' decorations are up around our home year round as basic decor. I actually have a banner in my living room that says 'Everyday is Halloween' lol
    We are looking at rearranging/reworking our kitchen to allow me to create a coffee nook. I'm really excited about it! We've already picked up some stuff for it.

  11. Some great idea, I especially like planting some fall flowers. My favourite season is summer, so I'll be enjoying the last three weeks of it as much as possible! Then it's back to my normal routine until the winter holidays.

  12. I don't rush it with fall but I do love your tips. Rugs, candles and books - my favorite combo

  13. Wonderful ideas all.Although we dot celebrate a fall season really in our country,we do welcome Autumn which a very pleasant time with lots of festivals.Some of these ideas greatly appeal to me like adding scented candles,adding a new Autumn mat at the front door,planting a few more flowers in pots and displaying them on our porch and adding scented soaps and candles in the bathrooms.

  14. Ahhh this has me so excited for fall! I might have to go pick up a few candles and maybe even make a fall wreath! Might even change our our pillows!

  15. Fall is my favorite season because it is when I start cooking and baking a ton! I'm a huge pumpkin spice fan, and the smell is amazing. Easily a favorite way to enjoy fall is through making things cozy with blankets and some pumpkin spice.

    1. Hi, Dee. Yes, I am sad for winter, but as for fall, I guess after living in Colorado for so long after moving from AZ, I just feel like I can experience a real fall season. But I am dreading winter. 😕 Thank you for stopping by.

  17. I guess so. Whoa, is hots days the same as hot days? I hate when I make a typo :)

  19. I'm all about #1 and #12. :) But I could really use some fall-color flowerbeds. That's a great idea. Visiting from Sweet Tea & Friends.

  20. Steph these are great ideas! I can't wait to try some of these. I live in a small apartment and very little storage space. So I usually put decorations on my TV stand, the stand by my front door and hang a wreath on my door. I see here that there are so many other things I can add.
    Thanks bunches for sharing these great ideas with Sweet Tea & Friends this month.

  21. Wonderful! 😉
    Well, is my favorite time of year, and I look forward to the time when I can do some of these things on your list. Once we get our house done, then I look forward to making it cozy.

    Thank you for sharing this at the Sunday sunshine blog hop!

Create a stunning DIY holiday decor with this step-by-step guide on making a wintery foliage bowl. Learn how to craft a beautiful centerpiece that brings the essence of winter into your home. Hi there, I hope everything is going well for you. Today, I want to share with you a simple upcycling holiday craft idea.
