Autumn has Arrived

Yesterday, instead of cleaning my house I got ready for Fall. I bought candy corn, chocolate eyeballs, pumpkins and gourds instead of groceries. I stopped at Grandiflora and picked up a bead encrusted BOO. This corner under the cabinets in my kitchen makes me smile.
Nothing says Fall like eyeballs on ice. Don't worry, they're chocolate. The packets are for orange hot cocoa. Yum!

I have made similiar Fall displays in my kitchen window before. I buy the little pumpkins and then spell out 'autumn' using stickers from my scrap booking supplies. "Fall is Fun!" is another good one.

Last Fall I found this metal/glass thingy at the Second Chance Thrift Store. I put gourds in it for Fall and shiney brights at Christmas. The table runner with cornucopias embroidered on the end is a garage sale find. The leaves are fake unless company is coming. The filbert nuts are from my folks' orchard.

Liz over at Mabel's House posted about decorating for Fall yesterday and inspired me to change things up a bit here. I mostly use things that I find here at home and in the grocery store.
More Fall fun...I went to the LCHS football game last night with Max. Hubby had another committment so I hooked up with Melinda and her boys. Max rode with me and ditched me fast. As Melinda says, "he wouldn't want anyone to know that he actually has a mother." Max told me not to talk to him or look for him. I told him-"right back at you buddy, don't come sit by me either!" That'll show a teen. Give it right back. The Lyncs beat Vancouver College. I had a nice visit with Mel, Leanne and Shannon. I got to hold Mike and Tricia's new baby, Addison. So darling.
Today cleaning, laundry, baking and making dinner for my guys who are all working today. Have a good weekend.
