inally, there is a crispness in the air, we can open the windows and let in the cool Fall breezes. October 1st is here and it’s time to celebrate Fall’s arrival, my second favorite of the four seasons of the year. If you’ve been reading my blog for a couple of years, you will know that I don’t go all out for Fall decorating. I save it up for a big Christmas show!
Grand Jury duty is over and boy, was that interesting! I learned a lot about our judicial system and am really glad I was privileged to serve for 3 days. We also took a tour of the jail (which is mandatory for the Grand Jury to do). Very enlightening! Glad to be back to my normal schedule now.
I do like to add some special things to my foyer table, so this year, once again, I drug out the white pumpkins that I made last year and put together a little vignette to welcome Fall. As I’m looking at all these pieces, I see that everything here came from a yardsale (except the plastic pumpkins and that sweet painting from Lara Harris that I won in her giveaway).
I simply painted 2 little plastic pumpkins from Hobby Lobby and painted their stems black and sat them on top of 2 candlesticks. And the urn painting that Lara did, is a perfect addition to this Fall table. I kept it simple this year.
Once again, my faithful iron yardsale urn, takes center stage with some simple pinecones and acorns, most of them from my own yard. The white starfish is a good contrast to all the brown. You’ll notice a cute little quail sitting on top. He was a yardsale find last year and I’ve been waiting to use him somewhere. Perfect!
He’s adorable with his real feathers, especially that little tuft on top.
This pretty leaf and acorn metal plate was also a yardsale find from a couple of years ago and I love the rustic look of it. Last year, I really got into the white pumpkins, and you can see that in the above link from last year and the Better Homes and Gardens inspiration pic that got me started on this. I had the urn already and with the addition of some lime green moss, it was perfect for holding my white pumpkin.
So, that’s it for Fall at my house. 
I’ll be adding my Fall wreath that I put together last year to the door and will call it a day.
I’ll add in a few more inspiration pics that I hope you’ll enjoy. My friend, Maureen, took this pic of Mary Carol Garrity’s home tour a few years ago and I just love it. So very fallish!

This is the first time I’ve left a comment on your blog. I’m still somewhat new to the blog thing, so I decided to do the fall y’all party. Such great ideas from so many talented people! I love the Pottery Barn Idea with the apples and candy! So simple yet so festive! Thanks for hosting! Happy Fall!

I really love the white pumpkins and urns and all your fabulous Ideas!!
Rhoda! I was here this morning linking up, and now I see that you already have 100 guests at your party! You’re the hostess with the mostest!
Hope you’re having a great day. It’s absolutely beautiful in North Carolina this week–after all that rain this weekend, we’re enjoying sunshine and cool temperatures. I just love the sunshine in the fall–in the summertime, the sun seems like my enemy, but in the fall, it’s my friend!
Thanks for hosting such a great party, Rhoda. 🙂
Every blessing,
Richella
Rhoda, Your foyer table looks beautiful. Simple and elegant!
That was neat that you got to tour the jail! I did jury duty a few years back, nothing big, but it was interesting and I got to look in all the shops in the Marietta Square on my lunch break!
Yes, your blog has been really really slow to load lately!

I love those felted pumpkins, too cute!!
Rhoda, thank you for hosting this blogging party and for your constant inspiration! I was thinking the other day that it’s great that you’ve been able to be so successful with something you love! Keep it up…we are watching! 🙂
thanks for much for having us today! I’ve gathered so many lovely ideas & I adore those PAINTED PUMPKINS of yours – oh my!
I love the simple design you created on the white pumpkin. Great ideas for a pony wall I have in my foyer that is begging for some fall decor.
Hey Rhoda, I hear there’s a “par-tay ovah” here and I came to join in on the fun. Thanks for sharing your lovely fall decor. Your white pumpkins are adorable and I want one !
Oh, all of those images are yummy, especially the caramel apples ! Love all of your fall touches. Happy autumn !
I’m linking up and commenting for the first time here – but I saw that pottery barn tray with candy and just HAD to make my own candy tablescape. (Why do I love candy so much?) I can’t wait to see everyone’s fun fall decorations – thanks!
Thanks for the link party, Rhoda!
hi there! my first time joining in on the party! love all your fall decor ideas and inspiration!
Thanks for sharing all this rich fall goodness! I grew up in MN but have been in CA for 24 years and really miss the crisp fall air and changing colors! I especially love the feathers in your gorgeous arrangement on the front door! So pretty!
