"falling for FALL..."

Oh my word... getting up to the chill of Fall air does my heart good!  I am LOVING my new Charleston storm door... LOVING I say.  So much so that I made her a little fall necklace :)

*****

Much better!  I didn't think I could love my burlap any more...

 Then I went and changed out her bow.... 

*****

Then I went and added some GOLD pumpkins to the mantle and birds.. and peacock feathers... and whatever else I could find.  

*****

I'm trying to go less Halloween and more Fall...

 purely for the fact that Fall can be used longer

 and I'm lazy like that!

*****

So.. I instead of adding spiders...

 I added feathers.

*****

Instead of writing a chalkboard spooky message... I drew some antlers???  I know I hate myself for saying this but...  And I will NEVER live this down from my hunter-loving brother {whom I have fought about the insanity of mounting Bambi on the wall my entire life}.  But I want some antlers please dear brother... May I have some please please please???  

*****

And I wanted a velvet fancy pumpkin too... but sadly they are $27 and I'm not buying any decorations for Fall... So I made one {kinda pitiful but free}.  She is about to get a sister sometime tomorrow... I'm hoping she's a bit more festive but we shall see??

*****

A-man isn't into the whole "Fall" thing ...

 He wants more webs and spiders and the like...

*****

Prissy can be bribed with fake nails 

and hasn't mentioned a thing :)

*****

We did however put up our traditional ghosts

 around the tree in the front. 

 It just wouldn't be the same without them... 

*****

And this is reality-

 for those of you that might think my house is always picked up...

And because I am contemplating a second reupholstering job in 1 week???  I must show you her again...  Isn't she lovey?  YES she is.  Joey even thinks "she's one of my bests!"
