Any of you bloggers ever had a post ready and then forgotten about it?

I had this one ready two weeks ago and just now remembered it.  Since this isn’t really a decorating blog, I got caught up in other projects.  Well, here are a few of the little autumn touches I’ve put around our home this year…

The clear lamp is filled with autumn leaves and acorns…

…and lots of little pumpkins and berries are placed along the mantel…

These two frames by the back door are often getting “change-outs”…here they display two pages of fall foliage from the magazine clippings I used in my autumn paper doll project recently…

Pumpkin made out of leaves in the office… it’s all the fall decor my husband can handle in his office…

The antique sideboard in the entry, dressed up with flowers, wreaths, pumpkins, and art book displaying John Everett Millais painting “Autumn Leaves”.

The piano decorated with fall garland, pumpkin, acorns, turkey feathers (compliments of my turkey huntin’ father-in-law), and an old Victoriana occasion calendar….

Coat hanger in the hall holding a fall wreath, and some nice big pumpkins sitting around…one is spiffed up with some floral picks and brown ribbon…the basket did have some assorted gourds and a couple of fall books, but the little people of the house seem to have emptied it.  Here’s what it usually looks like…

Various sizes of pumpkins displayed on my canister shelves in the kitchen…

Magnets on the fridge made from real pressed leaves…

Shelf on the second level, visible from the school room, with another wreath, faux pumpkins, and an art book of Grandma Moses’ paintings displaying a harvest scene…this shelf is a decorating headache, honestly.  I never can make it look very good and it’s hard to reach.

There it is! My decor stuff is not new, but I arrange it a little differently each year.  In fact, the wreath in the hall is 10 years old, but I pack it very carefully for storage and, amazingly, it still looks pretty good.

Thanksgiving is only a week away! I should be making a grocery list, not blogging 🙂
